There's a variety of acid drops now called Toxic Test or something - dares you to keep it in your mouth for longer than 15 seconds.
I don't know if other towns have it, but in Beccles there's a true oldfashioned sweet shop - well actually it's a year old, but all the jars behind the counter, scales, plenty of wonderful choice....................

Floral gums, were they really small round chewy sweets that smelt of perfume?
