I'm probably showing my age here, but who remembers those torpedo shaped coca-cola flavoured lollipops on a white paper stick? They were great, except for the paper stick always started to disintegrate once the old choppers got stuck into the lollipop! Also who remembers Jamboree bags? Always a disappointment inside

I want some Spangles

Not a clue what your on about, were these in the UK?
I love Fireball Jawbreakers & Tooty Frootys.

Yes and do you remember how adults always bought the ones with the funny colours, like mustard colour and brown, and not the "nice" ones?

mmmmm used to love Spangles. Love Hearts and Refreshers are two more I adore, they turn up in the Brit shops here sometimes

Haven't seen spangles for years. Do they still make them? I always remember them coming in the Christmas selection boxes.

I think they stopped making them years ago.

I always thought Tunes were Spangles for when you were ill.

I don't remember Spangles but I liked Tunes even if I wasn't ill.

Aaawww!

Confession time..as a pre-10 year old (before the age of criminal consent notice) I used to rather like Love Hearts...it was the sourness...
and the ease with which one could get a purchase on each sweet..in the packet...

I can say this as I am well below my BE quota when it comes to this sort of thing...in fact I have several years of backlog...

You should try prune juice for that!

Ah yes..thank you - I will keep you notified as to the outcome...cheers..

My mum had a passion for Walnut Whips.
I loved anything that could be found in a 5 or 10 penny mix .... except horrible Parma Violets.

I love walnut whips and anything with the same aspect as walnet whips...

Limited local experience here...I'm tipping that the Violets are the same as Love Hearts only coming in one purple flavour? Because that's how they taste - how they probably would taste, rather?
