Sydney who? Sidney Australia!

Wasn’t there an ad with a seance where they called for Sidney ?? Toffee crisp maybe ?

Shhhhhhhhhh don’t tell the children

Apologies if already mentioned but

Do you know who he was....it was my dad in our new car!

If Izzy would like to move in with me, @Neverknowinglysensible , I would consider sacrificing my childhood "flumps" for her 😂She is gorgeous!

yes it was toffee crisp. somebody somewhere is having a toffee crisp.

@Neverknowinglysensible found these on Etsy after a bit of guess work on what they might've been called. Ended up searching "fluffy with eyes ribbon eighties" and up they came!

@Neverknowinglysensible Izzy is gorgeous!

There's some old ones on an Ebay auction here, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Collection-of-1980s-Used-Promotional-Furry-Bugs/185918465009?hash=item2b499aa3f1:g:D9gAAOSwpaVkalBH&amdata=enc:AQAIAAAAwBh4ZhmvwzFe+2qUm052YhS+hzmW8Oz8vhG2wSCC2EWRASZ/ly6kRd0mHJjes3iSbDxuL1ua1VGFYnrxcvF97G4jhffIwVD5pKAjHE7dMPaxHy00+6yVXj3Hr01u2a671ddmrACHijwW8R22KlXyx1tCJWq6TVzCC5mgjGwoMuZLM7cYu6g4jecenlfL/GpZxCy38MeTYF13agezlW9r8MR7r4tHejNUGkxlj32y6hdmMkPjBOtSo+3m4uPATADmhA==%7Ctkp:Bk9SR_iZ25-SYg&pageci=08ff14ff-e479-4a04-b58c-dfe8f5c571c7&redirect=mobile

Otherwise they seem to be available on promotional sites as logo bugs but I'm not sure how many you have to purchase.

I'm glad to see that others remember those little bugs and that they're still around.
