win £100 of the best sweets ever!

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>The simplest things are often the best so they say... mind you they also say that the best things in life are free... not 100% sure about that one because I can think of lots of the best things that definitely aren't free (sweets for example!!!)
Who are "they" anyway? Do "they" have little meetings to decide what new sayings to come out with? Haven't "they" got anything better to do with their time? (ooeerr I've come over all Jem!)
I've got (my old English teacher would go potty... "never say got or nice" was drummed into me) a headache now thinking about all that!
Anyhow... we decided to keep the competition nice and simple this time... easy question, fab prize. Get the question right, be the lucky person pulled out of the virtual hat... and we'll send you a £100 voucher to spend in our fab sweetshop. How cool is that.

So... without further ado... the question...
Which of our sweets used to be made by a person known as a Thumper (and no, it's nothing do do with Bambi!).

Clue... the answer is on the page for that sweet.
Bigger clue... it's a black sweet.
Just tell us the answer below, along with your email address (so we can tell you've won if you are the lucky winner) and we'll pick the winner on March 21st (the first day of Spring... hurrah!!!)
