About Poppets

Poppets are small chocolate-covered sweets sold in a carton since 1937, and in Britain they are associated above all with the cinema, where a box that can be eaten in the dark without noise or mess has an obvious advantage. Valeo lists the brand among the ones it names when it describes its confectionery business.
