Most bootleggers ran whiskey. Silas “Sugarfoot” Morelli ran something far sweeter.
Sugarfoot’s Sweet Contraband is a Prohibition-inspired collection of nostalgic candy, classic snacks, and old-fashioned sodas—gathered as if Sugarfoot himself smuggled them off a back-alley delivery truck and straight into your hands. While the country went dry, corner stores stayed stocked, soda bottles clinked openly, and candy wrappers crinkled in movie theaters, ballparks, and five-and-dimes across America.
This gift set celebrates that sweeter side of the 1920s—the treats everyone could still enjoy without a knock on the door. Every item is intentionally chosen to evoke the flavors, brands, and memories of a bygone era, when indulgence didn’t require secrecy… just a sweet tooth.
Because some contraband was never meant to stay hidden.
Each gift set also comes with a story tailored to the occasion you choose, turning every sip into part of the experience itself.
