Toolum




Toolum. In the early part of the twentieth century, sweet vendors would pound the streets of towns and villages in T&T, selling candies by means of a spinning wheel. For a penny, a customer spun the wheel and received the number candies indicated when the wheel stopped--up to fifty. Toolum, one of the earliest T&T candies, was undoubtedly supplied by such vendors.
