Memories of a 70s kid.

I only discovered I didn't like them once I tried them
Nippy sweetie.😃

Pear drops

Murray mints. Forever associated with long car journeys before some motorways were built and mother gave them to us to suck to prevent car sickness. There were four of us in the back, at least two dogs and no seat belts and we also bounced around and I’m convinced the Murray mints actually made us feel worse!

@Lindajonesjustcantlivemylife

too many wronguns' on this thread keeping you company. I'm going to have to hide it, like @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius my diabetes prevents me from enjoying sweets these days, so I can't rescue all the unwanted ones 😥😥

Cheerio 🙋

I liked them all pretty much, I didn't like those strips of dusty rubbery chocolate things, nor did I like liquorice but I think I was ok with everything else.

I've never liked any liquorice tea I've tried, they never taste right.
But I'm in Finland and so many things are flavoured with liquorice (some things which really shouldn't be, like reindeer salami sticks flavoured with liquorice - that was not right) or salty liquorice. I love liquorice sauce on ice cream, and Haribo does liquorice flavour roulette gummy sweets which are nice, don't know if they have them over there, only just noticed them here so perhaps they're new.

I’ve started a companion thread here for us to talk about the sweets we used to love (possibly my specialist subject).

Several mentions of pear drops. Now I like pear drops but unfortunately they don't like me - whenever I ate them I would cough uncontrollably. But I liked them so I still kept eating them despite coughing my lungs up.

Parmaviolets and those horrible white mice.

Olde English Spangles

Anything that wasn’t chocolate. I never liked sweets as a kid and still don’t now! I particularly hated the Rowntrees fruit pastilles that my mum bought when we went to the cinema. Hated the sugary crunch on my teeth. Ugh. I can still feel it now. All I wanted was a bar of chocolate!

parma violets and pear drops.

And kitkats are an abomination.

Parma violets

Foam bananas, blackjacks, black fruit gums, black jelly babies, lime boiled sweets, rock hard toffee.

Marathon
Chocolate brazils
Sugared almonds (are you supposed to like them?)
Turkish delight
Liquorice of any kind
Anything animal-shaped (in training to be vegetarian)

Goodfellows. They were very strange.

I could manage any sweets

used to bite the ends off liqueur chocolates to let out the runny fillings before eating the chocolate shell.

sigh.

Parma violets- dreadful!
also didn’t like the white chocolate buttons with hundreds and thousands on the top.

You're all just listing all my favourite sweets....

Aniseed balls, anything mint flavoured (apart from spearmint, love spearmint things!), watermelon flavour anything (hate the actual fruit too) and those fizzy 'belts' sweets (literally make my teeth ache).

Texan bars

Taxi bars - not solid enough wafer.

Spanish gold. Disgusting!

I agree about parma violets and sweetie necklaces/watches.
I love double lollies though
