Yes I will admit to scoffing a few of my dog ones when I was younger.

But now you have jogged my memory, I could murder a nice big bag of choccie buttons - the human kind.

Do they sell them in Oz?

I like the human chocolate buttons and Jelly Tots too, just quietly.

Ive got one of those quaint little British sweet shops near me but everything in it seems to be out of date. Will just have to hold out until I get back to England and then have a massive binge.

No need to go to England just go to Perth, I just stocked up while I was there on all my sugary rubbish just from the local IGA. Just ate a packet of Black Jacks today and a fireball jawbreaker

I bought 5 packs while I was there and I swear they are a lot hotter than I remember, gave one to my cousins 4yr old and he loved it was also amusing watching his face as it got hotter!

How much do they go for?

'Back in my day' they were 10p a packet.

I had a good feast on Cadbury's Giant Buttons when I was in the UK! I've seen the small ones here in the English shops but they were silly money for just the small ones !

How spooky, I was just looking at the Cadbury's UK site to see if I could ship a big box out but they will only do UK, unless I send Mum down to Asda to buy and make up a box and ship them over.

It's funny how you really miss certain chocci bars when you can't have them!

I like Aussie sweets as well - I love Clinkers (or is it Klinkers?) my god they are nice, so bad for your teeth but nice.

I use to like cherry ripe but Ive gone off them. Now my favourite is Whip bars.

I am busy converting Sunny Coast Australian kids to English sweets. I was asked by Ellie's best mate to let her know where I got "those polo things" from... I have converted 2 Melbourne originally kids over to Dime bars (from my various Ikea trips)..

I feel like I should put on a liquorice dog collar and hand out wispa bars to random strangers whilst solemnly quoting paragraphs of The History of Bournville....
