It’s the stuff our childhood dreams are made of - visiting a sweet factory and being given more treats than we know what to do with.
But while many of us may have grown out of those fantasies, there are those of us who would still gladly jump at the chance.
Swizzels is on the hunt for someone with a near obsession with iconic Parma Violets to prove their status as the ultimate fan.
The lucky winner will get not only an exclusive VIP tour of the Swizzels factory to see how the violet treats are made, they’ll also receive a year’s supply of the retro sweets.
