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?

I loved Fruit Salads and Wham bars too!

[Mumofaflump]

Oh! And Spira bars.

[MissPaintyOeuf]

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.

[MissPaintyOeuf]

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

[ilovedjasondonovan]

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.

[Vallhala]

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

Anyone care to guess when I was born? :)

[Mrswhiskerson]

[bruffin]

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.

[chrisonabike]

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

marriednotdead I loved Bovril crisps!

[chrisonabike]

[Vallhala]

[ginmakesitallok]

[microfight]

[trubshawe]

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!

[MissPaintyOeuf]

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.

[bruffin]

Just remembered Coffee Walnut whips.
