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.

Whenever I think 80s I immediately think Wham bars.

Anyone remember that yo-yo craze where you won a yo-yo with a can of coke/fanta? The rare ones to win were gold yo-yos.

Ahh see someone mentioned buying the ZX Spectrum magazine. Spent hours playing Horace Goes Skiing. Late 80s we got Nintendo with the first Mario game and Duck Hunt.

That'll be one of the really big 10p coins, maybe one of the old ones that says TWO SHILLINGS on it.

A wham bar, quarter of cola cubes, packet of cigarettes (the sweets), quarter of fizzy cola bottles, copy of Just Seventeen - and for my mum, the next in the series of the Classic FM magazine with free cassette. Please and thank you.

Has Look-in magazine been mentioned yet?

Always remember there being a poster in the middle (A-ha springs to mind)

Some peanut sweets please. The ones that are in a shape of a peanut, and covered in a sort of peach coloured opaque boiled sweet thingy, with a sort of honeycomb peanut filling inside. In a clear wrapper. Not the general peanut sweets that are sort sort of baby poo coloured with chopped peanuts in and no wrapper.

Cadbury FUSE bar

Littlemissgobby · 18/11/2024 21:14

I also used to actually get the corner shop woman to count out 100 flumps marshmallows because they were one pence and I would use a whole pound for flumps. Can you imagine that now people actually counting out sweets? I really don’t think they do that anymore. you just buy them in packets.
