Woolies Pick 'n' Mix sells for £14,500
The last bag of Woolworths Pic N Mix has been sold online for a whopping £14,500 making them the world's most expensive sweets.
The 800g bag of sweets contained rhubarb & custards, strawberry bon-bons, Turkish delight, white mice and fizzy cola bottles.
It was collected by Woolworths store manager Ed Adams just before he closed his high street store for the final time.
"I spotted at least a bag’s worth of Pic N Mix was left in the counter just before I closed the shop for the last time," he said.
After putting the item on eBay bidding started at 99p, but soon began to rise with over 100 people bidding, it finished at £14,500 ... about the same price Woolies would have charged.
The money raised will be donated to Retail Trust, the principal charity of the retail sector supporting people, and their families, who are working in or have worked in the retail industry or associated businesses.
A spokesperson for eBay added: "The amount of interest this has generated reflects the popularity of the iconic Woolworths brand and reinforces eBay as a real barometer of people’s passions."
