So my question, if anyone knows, is why do vehicle parts sellers put sweets in with their deliveries? They all do it! Plus does anyone know when this practice started? Just curious.

The Chinese have been doing it for decades, long before it caught on here. Why? I suppose it's a small way of saying thanks for your business. Haribo seen favoured, presumably because they pack very tiny bags of jelly babies/gummy bags.
