    Could it be you?

    Think back to the sweets you used to eat as a child. Lovehearts, Fizzers, Drumsticks - they were the party bag heroes! The tuck shop treats! The perfect way to spend your hard-earned pocket money!

    And now retro confectionary company Swizzels is giving away a year's supply of Parma Violets to the person who loves them the most.

    If you take the crown as the biggest Parma Violets fan, not only will you have a healthy stash of the purple favourites but you'll also get a behind-the-scenes tour of the factory in New Mills, Derbyshire, where they're produced. It's usually closed to the public, making it even more exciting (and very Willy Wonka).

    The company asks: 'Do you love Parma Violets so much that you have a room dedicated to them? Perhaps you are planning a Parma Violets themed wedding? Or do you simply love anything and everything Parma Violets flavoured?'

    Jeremy Dee, managing director of Swizzels added: 'Parma Violets have been instrumental in the success of Swizzels because of their loyal and dedicated fanbase.

    'As a result of this we want to find and reward the biggest fan as a way of saying thank you whilst celebrating one of Swizzels' most traditional sweets.'

    Good luck!
