00:00 Hiya I'm Vicky from the Ketchup Girls in Blind Lane, Silksworth.
00:03 We are situated at 7 Blind Lane.
00:05 This is the Barbie themed sweet box,
00:07 Ideal to take to the cinema, with Barbie just being released this week.
00:10 Obviously all the sweets in are pink,
00:14 and you get your pink tissue paper,
00:16 and we close the box off and wrap it off with pink ribbon.
00:19 You can pick which sweets that you want inside,
00:22 or you can just go with the pink mix, which we've done,
00:25 hang it to there.
00:26 Right, we have your pink chocolate love heart,
00:28 we have your strawberry dreams,
00:30 we have your pink shrimps,
00:32 and your foam flowers,
00:34 we have your pink fishes,
00:36 and your pink pandas.
00:38 You can have everything that's in the box,
00:40 or you can mix and match if you want to go blues and pinks,
00:43 because obviously Ken's also in the movie.
00:46 So if you wanted Barbie or Ken or a mixture, we can do that for suit.
00:50 These boxes here are £5.
00:52 We've actually been here in this shop for a year,
00:54 with Door to Door Decor, with the balloon business,
00:57 and we've just expanded in the past 5-6 weeks,
01:02 introducing sweets.
01:03 We open 7 days a week,
01:05 we open 12-6, Monday to Friday,
01:09 and then on a Saturday 12-5, and a Sunday 12-5.
01:13 So what we have is your traditional sweets in the jars,
01:17 which are £1.50 for 100g,
01:20 or you can go for boxes,
01:22 which you get a 500g box for £6.50,
01:25 800g box for £9,
01:27 or you can get a kilogram box for £11.
01:30 And then we also do our, what we call our ketchup,
01:35 which is all your novelty things,
01:37 which is your jazzles, your bubblegums,
01:39 your drumstick lollies,
01:41 we have all your bubblies,
01:43 we've got your packet sweets,
01:46 we also have a wide range of the super sour,
01:49 which is very popular at the moment,
01:51 like your Warheads and your Juicy Drops,
01:54 and your Brain Lickers and things like that.
01:56 And then we have Bobby's Crisps that we have in,
01:59 which is quite popular.
02:00 What we also offer for the kids,
02:02 which they absolutely love,
02:03 is our Spin the Wheel.
02:04 So each child or adult,
02:06 that spends £3 or more,
02:08 you get a spin of the wheel to win prizes,
02:11 and the top prize is a free 500g box.
02:14 So each spin you go,
02:18 obviously we have no wins,
02:20 we have this week on, it changes every week,
02:22 we have two bubblies,
02:24 we have a tongue painter lolly,
02:26 the 500g sweet box,
02:28 £2 spins,
02:30 two bubblegums,
02:31 tongue painter lolly,
02:33 a cup drink,
02:34 and then we have the small slush.
02:36 So we change this every Monday,
02:37 so the prizes do alternate,
02:39 and each child that comes in,
02:41 or adult, gets a free spin.
02:43 What we also do is our weekly raffle,
02:46 which is a free ticket,
02:48 anything under £3,
02:50 they get a green ticket for a small prize,
02:52 anything over £3,
02:54 they get a pink ticket and they win a sweet hamper.
02:56 We draw that live on the page,
02:58 every Thursday at 5pm.
03:00 The kids come in, they all enjoy it,
03:02 they come in with the tickets,
03:03 and this is quite packed.
03:04 And then what I do after that,
03:06 is once the raffle's done,
03:08 I ask them all to go and choose one thing,
03:10 that they would like put in the hamper for the following week.
