What was your favourite thing to get from your schools tuck shop/vending machine?

A biscuit with Jam in the middle

At my primary school the dinner Nanny’s sold jacket potato’s for 5p at break time.
you got half a hot potato covered in cheap margarine, wrapped in a green paper towel.

I absolutely loved them!!!!

I have to know, is dinner Nannies a typo or is that what they were known as? We had dinner ladies, never heard of nannies!

Snaps and fizzy cola bottles

First post nails it 😂

Yep, they were dinner Nannie’s.
maybe a northern village thing?

Drifter

Five-finger KitKats and flavoured Toffos.

Back when I was at school there used to be hard boiled chocolate flavour lollipops. I loved them.

At my school they weren't sold with with the rest of the sweets. You had to buy them from the head mistresses office. I used to go and visit her everyday buy my lollies and stay and have a little chat with her.

Spira - we would use them as straws to drink hot chocolate from the vending machine.

Frazzles, cheese and onion Ringos or salt and vinegar Seyshells. Also a cuppa soup and a freshly baked hot roll with melted butter.

I’d forgotten about Drifters. They were delicious. Why were they stopped?!

Tudor salt & vinegar crisps, Marathon bars, Kit-Kats and Caramac.

Didn't have a vending machine but loved jamborees - deep fried jam sandwiches covered in sugar.

Cheese and onion pasties from the canteen. Or a spicy bean burger with a thick slice of cheddar.

A Boost or a Wispa Gold from the vending machine.

Used to be Sunny Delight that was the craze when I was younger which is now banned I think.

Jam sandwhich fritters, dipped in sugar. In the days when school children were largely underweight.

Football crazy crisps. 4 1/2p

Cadbury Tasters

God, I wish they'd bring back the Spira.

MB bars don't know if they were UK wide or only a Scottish thing

Fruit polos and nice and spicy niknaks.

When I was in the sixth form (many years ago)there was a vending machine that sold hot drinks - I loved the hot chocolate. 4p a cup - happy days!

A Jamboree bag or an ice cream cone. The nuns used to make the ice cream themselves and it was yummy.

I saw them in a sweet shop a few weeks ago. I’m not sure that I’ve ever had one but I’ll have to try them when I visit it again.

I went to school in Australia. Summer Rolls (a kind of nougat chocolate bar).

We had a ‘healthy’ tuck shop and my favourites were Sesame Snaps and carob drops, both very sweet, to be consumed surreptitiously in class. Carob drops always remind me of maths. Sesame Snaps were too loud to eat in lesson though.
