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.

Has Look-in magazine been mentioned yet?

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

Just 17 magazine.
Golden cup chocolate bar.

Same, please! But also a quarter of aniseed balls and a quarter of sweet peanuts.

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.

I did exactly the same thing with aniseed balls. Expect your bag was a lot lighter than mine

Ooh… a Walnut Whip, an M&S Fresh Vegetable Bake (food of choice for teenage vegetarians in the mid-late 80s!) and a nice, double sized bottle of Lambrusco to wash it all down, please!

WhereAreWeNow · 18/11/2024 21:16

A copy of Just 17, a wham bar, some milk bottle sweets, and a packet of pacers please. Thank you.

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.

LostittoBostik · 18/11/2024 21:18

Can I have a blue raspberry push pop. And I'll have a copy of Smash Hits too, but have a flick and make sure it's got the biscuit tin feature

I'm disappointed that Lilt was recently rebranded as Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit. It also tastes disgusting now it has artificial sweeteners in it.

Loved them ice pops but also does anyone remember them rings that had like a hard lollipop type sweet on and you sucked while it was your finger

Oh and a box of Black Magic for my Nan please, the one with the butterscotch.

Awww

Lidl version of lilt is a close alternative I think.

The chocolate was so much nicer then. I'd like some cadburys crème eggs, some Caramac's and some milky bars. Thank you

"Push a push pop"

Early 90s iirc.

The change from Marathon to Snickers was a big moment.
