Smile What sweets do you remember as a kid....

and still eat?

Can you still get them?

What do you miss, and wish were available?

I fondly remember:-
Blackjacks (I like the new type big flat chewy bars)
Rainbow sherbert
Sherbert fountains/dib dabs
Army & Navy
Cough Candy

The OH liked:-
Fruit Salads
Chocolate tools ()
Toffe & Bananna lollies
Bananna, Stawberry mallows
Fried eggs

I'm sure there was more as my pocket money always seemed to go too quickly.

Mojos 2 for half a pence

and those chocolate covered toffee sticks that used to be in a box with a picture of a squirrel on it

Wagon wheels used to be massive

Ooh someone said sherbet pips, I used to love them

Space dust, you can still get that I love it it's not as powerful as it used to be though

When I was at school we used to have those red laces and tie them around our wrists, if it ever got broken it meant that your boyfriend didn't love you Could never keep mine on longer than an hour

I had space dust a few weeks ago

Ooh cherry lips, I loved cherry lips
