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

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.

What about one of those gobstoppers that you can never even get in your mouth and should probably be classed as a weapon of mass destruction (certainly for your jaw)?

Jaw breakers. They were red and tasted 'hot'.

LightSpeeds · 18/11/2024 19:58

A Raspberry Ripple and a Jackie (and 10 Benson & Hedges for 52p)!

A couple of singles please (ciggies split from the pack).

I was going to say a pack of 10 silk cut please. And a slice of pate from one of those round ceramic bowls.

Interested in this thread?

I did my y10 work experience at Just Seventeen then bunked off the last two days, telling them someone had died so that I could lose my virginity and go clubbing in Camden. Ah I loved the 90s 😁
