AIBU..To be shocked

[BigGirlInASmallWorld]

about the price of a single packet of Monster Munch crisps?

SEVENTY NINE PENCE

I mean I almost dropped my wicker basket in

They were 12p when I was a child. What's happening to the world?

I could buy a panda pop drink, chipsticks and an animal bar for 30p in my day

2 1/2p a packet for crisps. I was around 6.
I've just eaten a packet of pom bears in full view of the window. What could I have started in my road?

I remember biscuits which were shaped like fish and chips. They came in a packet, like crisps, and were lovely. Has anyone seen any?

Freddos are 20p now. The ones in my local shop have it printed on the packet next to Freddo himself.

Since that travesty occurred, I have been unable to feel shock at any ridiculous price hikes because I am still numb from that one.

Monster Munch are my favorite crisps in the whole world. And I need some now.

Yum Lady. I don't think they exist any more.

snackspot.org.uk/images/burtonsfishandchips.jpg These? My mouth's watering just thinking about them.

lady were they Burton's? If so you can type into google and there's a website that tells you where they are still been sold

Oh, that's them sparkling. I used to eat bags of them. I found a petition to bring them back, it's dated 2007 though.

I loved those Lady but I did find the flavour was less strong.

Burtons made them. I haven't seen those for years.

I loved Cadbury's coconut Boost in the red packet.

Hope they come back.

LadySybil...have not clicked on your link yet. I think they might be my actual favourite things.
I can't remember where I got them from last, but I bulk bought, relished them and hid them from my children.

sparklingbrook: 'We had a 10p mixture at the sweet shop with or without bubbly.'

Well, if they threw in free champagne, that's not bad. Or was it only cava?

Also I am missing

Cabana Bars
Fuse Bars
Spangles
Pacers

They are the only thing I miss, those and 10p bags of sweets.

Trebor jars of weighing sweets.

Mix ups

Bluebird chocolate covered toffees.

Please tell me someone remembers cola rola balls? I was once told they were banned for being too hard.

Was that the toffee that came with the hammer BigGirl?

someone is going to tell me that you can't get a can of coke for 25p anymore.

With wheat snacks the cheaper they are the nicer they are. I have tested this theory comprehensively, the tiny packs you get in the corner shop for 7p/15p/30p or whatever are much much nicer than monster munch.

Anyone remember the hard alphabet letters that were really powdery and the lips that were rubbery and tasted of soap?

does anyone remember Banjo's ?

the looked like a twix but wafer inside and i think coconut they were really nice

I don't remember soapy, rubber lips but I think you can still get the alphabet letters.

DH loves those letters Single. Asda used to do really nice ones. The sweets I never understood were those polystyrene flying saucers. Bleurgh.

I loved the cola bottles that were blue and pink.
