Ooooo toffee bonbons, American cream soda, choc’o’lick, cola cubes, (k-lie) that’s how I pronounce it but have absolutely no idea how to spell it. And some lips for my mum.
And a cola bar while you are there please.

Aniseed balls please.

I loved aniseed balls them and gobstoppers are definitely the reason my teeth are ruined

I loved a Mint Cracknell as it was the only mint sweet with milk chocolate. All the others had dark chocolate which I hate.

Does anyone remember the Texan Bar?

They were amazing. They bought them back for a very limited time a few years ago.

CagneyNYPD1 · 21/09/2025 20:04

Cola bottles please. And a 10p mix up.

The mixed up sweets where they threw all of the last bits in the tubs into one! I can't remember what they were called. Just the best because it was different every time, a mix of everything.

And if you didn't have enough money for a quarter then just 2oz please.

Oooooh happy, innocent times.

We called it a Yorkshire mix.

i want the bonfire toffee on a lollipop stick with the metal foil round it.

Strawberry millions and acid drops. We had a shop like this is our local high street. Friday lunchtime at school always involved at trio. I returner the paper bags that disintegrated in the rain.

nonevernotever · 21/09/2025 20:09

Ooh please could I have a quarter of buttered gingers and a quarter of lemon rock? I'm 57 and I can just remember buying a huge bag of white chocolate mice with my very first pocket money (4 for an old penny!). DH says please can he have a packet of old English spangles, and he'll bring a can of Tennant's. He also reminded me about 5p singles, but I'll not having any of that nonsense.

Black and white mints, the square liquorice ones...lush.
Chocolate peanuts and raisins...the chocolate was crap but we were none the wiser back then.

Gobstoppers anyone? How we didn't choke on those I'll never know.

Also can anyone remember sweet pebbles. They were different shapes, colours and sizes.
