Childhood sweets you loved - a nostalgic thread.

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

Inspired by the Sweets you used to hate as a child thread, I thought I’d start one about the sweets I loved as a child (and probably still love too).

Chocolate cigarettes - they has edible paper round them and came in a pack that looked like a real cigarette packet.

Anything coffee flavoured.

Swizzels double lollies.

Walnut whips - and the coffee walnut whips in particular.

I’m sure there are more - my memory is not as good as it used to be - even for sweets.

Rola, cola balls. They were silver things that you sucked.

Barley sweets
Black & Gold’s foam bananas
Mint barley sweets
Swizzel’s double lollies
flying saucers

I seem to remember it having an odd chemical taste and having a whiff of germolene.. maybe false memories

Foamy pink shrimps
Spangles
Fruit polos
Milk bottles

Fruity polos

Bazooka Joe bubble gum.
Wonderful for blowing the hugest bubbles and really loud pops!

Everlasting toffee strips.

Animal bar chocolate; lots of different animal shapes and I could never bring myself to eat their heads so would store them in a drawer for months!

Pacers
Spangles
Fruit Salad
Shrimps

The Woolworth's pic' and mix wall.
The fizzy laces and astro belts that were unbelievably sour. They are definitely more tame these days.

Mint Mojos.
Highland Toffee and Wham! bars.
Choc-lick (the crumbs from Smartie production, sold by the gram.

Cola cubes, or those silver cola balls that got banned for allegedly having Mercury in them.

Loads of boiled sweets. Army and Navy, cough candy, rhubarb and custard.

Nestle crunch bars. Terry's Bitz mint chocolate.

Refreshers and polo's.

Midget gems
Sherbet fountains
Bubbly bubble gum
Texan chew bar, you needed pretty strong teeth for those 😱

The different types of Boost bars, I’m sure there were 3, biscuit, peanut and another I can’t remember.

Mr Men icy lollies or those Dracula ones.

Getting 2 sweets for a penny in your mix up as some only cost 1/2 a penny!

The drink Quattro

Dentyne chewing gum - I loved it!

My school tuck shop sold huge pink blackcurrant liquorice humbugs shaped sweets that would take half a day to eat!

Mumbo Jumbo bars (like a mango flavoured Wham bar, minus the fizzy bits).

A little plastic coffin with a hard candy skeleton inside. 20p back in the mid-80's.

Milky Lunch bar. Bit like a creamier, firmer version of a Milky Way.

Fruit 'Liquorice Alsorts'. Jeeze they were good.

Toffee crumble - does anyone remember that? You'd buy it in quarters. It was basically like a twix that had been through a food processor.

Actually, maybe it's the same as toffee crunch that some PP have mentioned?

Dracula lollies?... do you mean the shiny bright red oval shaped lollies which cost 5p each, mid-eighties?
Thought I was the only person to remember those things. Yum.

Not sweets as such but Wispa mint and Secret bars have been a great loss to my life 😞
