seaside rock

Beach souvenir stick

Seaside rock is a hard, cylindrical stick of candy sold at British coastal resorts, typically pink on the outside and white inside, with the resort's name running through the center in colored letters that appear at every break.

The candy became a Victorian tradition and remains a nostalgic souvenir: We brought back a stick of Brighton rock.
