Prize draw full terms & conditions - 
"Win one of 125 Lyle's Golden Syrup Cookbook by Paul Hartley" 

Sweet record

Lyle's Golden Syrup & friends


Happy 125th birthday,
Lyle's Golden Syrup!


In celebration of Lyle's Golden Syrup's Anniversary, the iconic tin is getting a birthday makeover… from January, it's turning
GOLD
; and it'll be the first time the tin has had a significant new look since 1885!

In 2006 Lyle's Golden Syrup was recognised by the Guinness World Records as having "the world's oldest branding (packaging)". So, why fix it if it ain't broke? Well, after 125 years of keeping it's goldenness on the inside, now seems like a great time to go gold all round and celebrate 125 years in style! Look out of the seven designs that we have created to celebrate 125 golden years and to remind you of how to use Lyle's Golden Syrup!

When it comes to foods that like to take their time, Lyle's Golden Syrup surely takes the biscuit; or should that be the flapjack? Deliciously thick and silky smooth, people have been coaxing it from its iconic tin to add its Midas touch to porridge and pancakes, puds and cookies, since Victorian times. Now (2008), this gooey golden elixir, which flows so slow and majestic from its green and gold casing, celebrates its 125th birthday; proving it's as much loved today as it ever was.

Established the same year as the first electric railway (1883), Lyle's Golden Syrup is older than the first petrol motorcar (built 1885) and wireless radio (1895); it precedes Coca Cola (est. 1886), Marmite (est. 1902), and Cadbury's Dairy Milk (est. 1905); and even predates Einstein's best-known equation of E = mc2!

Lyle's Golden Syrup: truly a British icon that has stood the test of time in a changing world of food and drink fads. Happy Birthday!!

Sweet record,
Sweet story

 

The Lyle's Golden Syrup tin has recently been recognised by the Guinness World Records as "the oldest packaging design".The green and gold tin with its famous arch and its lion and bees logo has remained virtually unchanged since 1885! We are proud that so many generations have grown up with Lyle's Golden Syrup and it is still a much-loved British Brand.

The Lyle's story began in 1883 when Abram Lyle, a Scottish businessman, discovered that a by-product of the sugar cane refining process could make a delicious sweet spread and sweetener for cooking. To find out about the story of the famous quotation "Out of the strong came forth sweetness" and more facts, visit Lyle's Past & Present

A wonderful treacle world

If you haven't heard of 'The Treacle People' yet, it's time to get stuck in most mornings on Channel 4.
