I'm just popping down to the 1980s/1990s corner shop. Anybody want anything?

[Lostinidea]

Think I'm going to get a raspberry Panda Pop, a Cadbury Taz bar and hopefully they'll have the latest issue of Sugar magazine.

Opal fruit to starburst to

Never understood what the point of changing it was.

I still find some retro sweets at the local home bargains but I've not spotted black Jack's. I'll have to keep an eye out.

I need 2 packs of cigs and a diet coke please

Yes they are in this box I seen these in Asda to but first advert came up iceland

10 silk cut, More magazine, Secret bar. About £3!

I'd like pear drops and pineapple cubes. I'd like to be there though to see them being weighed for me to have the whole experience. Can I also have some space raiders (?). Damn, I've only got twenty pence, penny sweets it is then or maybe a couple of Freddos?

More madazine with position of month in lol

I totally forgot about the boxes they used to have. I'm grieving my dad and found that post oddly comforting x

À quarter of pineapple chunks please!

Sugar magazine and a quarter of toffee crumble please!

Sure I can't tempt you with a cherry 7UP instead? (Randomly just remembered that existed!).

Actually I've changed my mind on the Freddos, can I have a 20p pack of giant smarties please?

💐

Cadbury marble bar and some calippo shots. Chuck in some wotsit waffles and I will be happy!

My mum’s sent me down for 20 silk cut please

Copy of Just Seventeen, Um Bongo drink, blue raspberry panda pop and space invaders crisps please. When can I expect you back?

@Iamthemoom . I remember those cheese snacks. Were they these?

Well as they're for your mum of course they'll sell cigarettes to a minor 😬.

I might be a while, I've got a bit of a list! Luckily they'll put it all in some of the flimsest carrier bags on the planet, that will probably biodegrade in the year 2241.

A packet of scampi and lemon Nik Naks and some Fireballs please.

20 jps

That made me smile. Haven't been asked to get them since I lost my dad.

Spira please, ready salted chipsticks and a Blue Jeans mag.

Yep. Quick google, see Asda brought back the original branding.

Slightly off topic (thought this might be interesting), but while we are reminiscing about our corner shop habits in the 80s I saw this video on YouTube a few months back and was shocked at the contrast of our experience in the 80s to the Soviet kids. We had so much choice, they did not (and a v strict budget too)
