Oh I miss those days! My Grandad used to bring my sister and I a packet each whenever he visited and we would spend the rest of the afternoon engaged in the following activites:

- open packet
- decide she's got more than me
- decide she's got better colours than me
- steal sister's sweets
- study the colour and letter on the plastic cap
- try to chew the plastic caps instead of the sweets
- throw the tubes and caps at sister
- stamp on tubes to expel caps halfway across the room at Grandad
- have tubes, caps and remaining sweets taken away

Happy days... happy days...

It says so in the Bible.

Couldn't agree more - British Isles Shop in Houston sells the Twister Bars - Choccie with creme egg filling - I luv em but hubby thinks the chocolate/filling ratio is off :D

Candy Corn looks like a long forgotten tooth fairy collection, but would still like to give it a try! :)

Can't be worse than those horrible "circus peanuts" candy....big fluffy things shaped like a peanut that just tastes like mushy cardboard. Bleh!

Oh no, no, no, no, never liked those either.

Actually, with corn being one of the staple crops here since the first colonization, I think it kind of goes with the whole Fall "harvest" theme.

they used to have little pumpkins too that tasted like the corn.

Talk about a 'gateway substance' to cocaine abuse.

Yuummmmm...pixie stix!! :o Now, I could still do me some of those...or better yet, how bout some dippin' stix..you know where you dip the hard sugar stick into flavored, colored sugar and lick it off...

Completely agree. I love chocolate, but I can't stomach the texture of the cream..it reminds me of something, well, rather nasty
