can you determine ones age by the sweet/candy nostalgia they have

[microfight]

I feel all nostalgic thinking about Texan bars and parma violets, we also ate candied cigarettes complete with red tips and after a few pretend puffs they were munched down with much enjoyment. I was born in the late 60's Anyone else have any candy nostalgia?

For all addicts!

Lets put it to the test. I miss Mojos how old am I?

38

Sour Nerds and Sweet Dweebs, Strawberry Millions.

I loved Fruit Salads and Wham bars too!

Oh! And Spira bars.

Ice cream flavour Chewits. Rain-blo and (I think) Gold nuggets bubble gum; I had a bit of a gum obsession cos my parents wouldn't let me have any. Rainbow Drops. And, a few years later, mega/sour Warheads that were either hot and spicy or really sour.

Spiras. I miss Spiras. Mumofaflump it sounds like you're a similar age to me.

Mojos, when they were 2 for 1p!!
Also liked flat circle lollies on sticks, I can imagine the taste now. Can't remember who they were made by though.

Bazooka bubble gum, shrimps, Mojos, black-jacks, Spangles, Caramac bars, fruit salad and lucky bags.

Anyone care to guess when I was born? :)

I rmeber marathons (snickers) sherbet dib dabs and getti g a ten pence mix up with penny chews and those White mice with the red stuff Inside it was a real treat if you got a twenty pence mix up.
I also remember the days wagon wheels and curly wurlys were huge amd a can of coke cost twenty pence .

About the same time as me Vallhala
Bovril crisp anyone?

I loved the dweebs and at school we all had massive gobstoppera
to break our teeth on.

Popping candywas a fave of mine too

Okay I reckon you're 39

And Cresta 'it's frothy man'

Vallhala are you 42?

I am 48 and remember mojos. Also remember when they started bringing out the "expensive" bars of cadbury chocolate ie Old Jamaican rum and raisin, Ice breaker, and there was one with a gingham wrapper that had biscuit and raisins in it.
We used to buy rainbow sherbert and rainbow or cola pips from the corner shop.

Cabana bars from childhood and Nerds from early teenage-hood. Care to take a guess?

marriednotdead I loved Bovril crisps!

oh, and Fireball Jawbreakers (had contests to see who could keep them in their mouth for the longest without crying )

microfight, I wish! You're 4 years out.

Chris - about 34?

chrisonabike are you 35?

gin - 10 points!

Nutty bars - why did they stop making them?!!
Strawberry and Cream Blobs
Chocolate-flavoured Hubba Bubba ( you could blow a bubble the size of your head)

I found 50p on Weymouth beach in 1977 and bought 5 mars bars.

God I feel old now!

Hubba Bubba! That's the name I was trying to remember. DH swore blind it was Bubblicious, but I knew that didn't sound right.

Just remembered Coffee Walnut whips.
