Local woman, Astrid Yule (25) is shocked and slightly disappointed that sugar cubes aren’t a bigger part of her life.
The 25 year old, who has vivid memories of seeing sugar cubes at her grandma’s house, admits that she can’t actually recollect seeing them on a supermarket shelf.
The realisation has flooded her with a deep sense of regret and shame — even as an adult, it’s hard for Astrid to deny there’s something quite demure and classy about a nicely presented tray of sugar cubes during tea time.
“I always imagined myself inviting friends to the house I owned and bringing out an over the top tea set with a bowl of sugar cubes you know?” Astrid confessed.
“Most of my friends don’t drink tea, I don’t have a tea set, I don’t own a home and worst of all I don’t have sugar cubes!”
Astrid is far from alone.
Many are calling for supermarkets and sugar companies to make sugar cubes more identifiable and more at the forefront of our supermarket shelves in a push to bring sugar cubes back into the mainstream.
