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.

I'll have a copy of Sugar, Smash hits and fast forward magazines please. Plus a blue panda pop and a quarter of sherbet strawberries please! 😍

I loved Fast Forward before I got into proper teen magazines. I remember it had an Eastenders comic strip.

If it's 1999, I'd have some Cadbury's Tasters, Chilli McCoys, Barrs Bubblegum Pop, a couple those jelly snails that's backs pop from the penny sweet section, some pink & white mushrooms, 2 giant beer bottle sweets and I think my Seventeen Magazine from America might be under the counter for me.

A Mint Cracknell, Pacers and I can't remember what it was called but a yellow packet, blue writing with two sticks of cheese like you get in cheese footballs in a sort of crispy lattice. Anyone remember what they're called?

Can you get me Your Sinclair magazine? Gotta read up on the latest releases for my beloved ZX Spectrum.

Oh, and a can of Quattro as well.

Quattro was delicious. There was a rumour going around at my school that it disappeared because one of the ingredients was carcinogenic. I hope not, I drank gallons of the stuff.

Sortumn · 18/11/2024 20:45

A 10p mixup please. Don't forget the mojos - 1/2 p each or 2 for a penny if 1/2p has already been phased out.
I'd also like a quarter of chocolate chewing nuts and some candy cigarettes complete with red ends.

🤣🤣 I love those rumours. We had one that a kid who was off for a few days had died from a Lilt overdose. 20 plus years on he sometimes serves me at Tesco and is still very much alive. Which I'm sure is a great relief for him!
