I'm going to the sweet shop to buy a quarter of...

...strawberry sherbets, or Yorkshire Mixture. But they make one's mouth sore so I might have to get some toffees - mint, treacle or rum butter - to scoff afterwards.

What will you have from the sweet shop ? Don't worry about the cost, or your teeth. MNHQ is picking up the shop and dental bills for everyone.

Unfortunately not 😂

Turkish delight 100%

White mice, and proper strawberry shoelaces, not the sour ones!

Cola cubes, clove rock and cinnamon lozenges

Chewing Nuts are top of the list. Ahh, memories of my weekly trip to "Candies" while at boarding scool in the late 70s. Whatever happened to Chewing Nuts??

Failing that, I'll have Aniseed Balls, Strawberry BonBons or Licorice Comfits.

Maybe a couple of Black Jacks or Fruit Salads with my change.

Sweet Tobacco 😊 not seen it since I was a kid though

Coconut mushrooms and sweet peanuts

Are there any dentists out there reading this thread in despair or looking forward to cashing in ?

What is the very distinctive aroma shared by pear drops and nail varnish ? Some sort of acid ?

Iced caramels. They were square with pink or white icing, in clear wrappers. Delicious!

Choc lick and chewing nuts please!

Army and navy
Milk bottles
Those white chocolate mice 😍

American Hard gums or the rounds beaded blue or pink sweets in liquorice all sorts.

Yes to pear drops, rhubarb and custards (original, not the less nice stuff available now), aniseed balls and, thanks @TaffyandTeenyTaffy, white mice!!!

The sweet shop from my primary school years (70s ) also sold Pink Panther chocolate - it had an almost strawberry-like flavour, like the sort of thing you find on the outside of a Charbonnel pink Marc de Champagne truffle 😍

Choc lick and pineapple chunks

Red paintballs or strawberry bonbons

Satin cushions please! Or some toffee bonbons. Cola cubes for my sister, sherbet lemons for my grandma, 10 sheets of rice paper, and a pink sugar mouse.

@WildRosie
Ketones. If you know anyone with this send them to a doctor!

Cherry lips and floral gums please

Oh and a couple of blackcurrant and licorice and banana éclairs too please?

Milk bottles, the proper ones with the cornflour on the outside!

There is a site called ‘a quarter of’ where you can buy a lot of these….

Chocolate Bon Bons which don’t exist any more 😢
Icy cups
Merry Maid toffees
The big round foil wrapped toffee with chocolate in the middle shaped like a sweet tea cake, cannot for the life of me remember the name
Bananas
Milk bottles
Those disgusting fizzy bubble gum bottles which I eat and enjoy despite being fully aware how repulsive they are.

@VerveClique

Barley sugar Cola cubes Pineapple chunks

Mmm all these please plus aniseed balls,and i want to carry them home in little white paper bags.My mouth will be lacerated after eating all these!

My teeth are itching as I loved nearly all that have been mentioned. Rainbow sherbet and sherbet pips were my favourites, with aniseed balls and coltsfoot rock as I 'matured'!

Did anyone like coffee Revels??

Liquorice Torpedoes, Milk Gums, Iced Caramels and Sherbet Lemons... and a dentist appointment!
