That was for Toffo not Texan

I loved the white chocolate mice. And Caramac. Absolutely HATED Parma Violets - who thought of sweets tasting of perfume ffs?

Lemon & rainbow kalie (dunno how you spell it) just a bag of flavoured sugar that stained your fingers so your mom thought you'd smoked 100 fags.

Pineapple / cola cubes
BIG pear drops

Talking Re: What were your Favourite Sweets......

Hey,

My favourite has got to be that coconut sweet tobacco, famously known as spanish gold.

May I tempt you with:

Anglo Bubbly
Bazooka joe
Pear drops
Bulls eyes
Rhubarb & Custard
Licquorice torpedos
Mighty Imps
Dip dabs
Drumstick lollies
Traffic light lollies - yes you can still buy them
Penny chews
Mojos
Cherry lips
Edible rice paper
Gobstoppers
Flying saucers
Gourmet jellybeans,, yes they do exist!!

shall I go on......

OK then, stop talking about your favourite sweets and take a trip down memory lane.......


Check out the website; www.aquarterof.co.uk

It was started by two guys who happen to be chatting one night in a local pub about the sweets they had as children and how the kids of today missed that sort of thing. It started as simple as that and they decided to see if the sweets were still around and guess what......

They found the old suppliers and have formed a business selling all the old fashioned sweets that we all had as a child. They even sell them over the internet. I know because I have bought some when I was in the UK. They used to only deliver to UK but I think now they deliver worldwide.

As you can imagine the business venture is booming and they are inundated with orders and have recently expanded their operations. What an idea. Wish I could have thought of it.... and be rich like they are now.

So, let's put a smile on everyone's face and go shopping on this website.

Think I should get lots of karma for this........... please.......
