AIBU..To be shocked

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

SEVENTY NINE PENCE

I mean I almost dropped my wicker basket in

Ooooh. Flying saucers. I love those! Dd is very into dibdabs atm. The ones with two flavours of sherbet with a sweety stick.

I wish I hadn't read this thread. I am now craving a packet of fish and chip crisps and a Fuse bar so much that I'm drooling. And a Marble and maybe a Top Deck as well.

Actually dibdabs had a red lolly in a packet of sherbet. Can't remember what the other thing is called.

the one there was Fiz wiz too

And some sweet cigarettes with the Tom and Jerry cards and a pink bit on the end.

And double dip was the one with the stick and two dips

Kola Cubes were fab but gave you a sore mouth.

The sherbet filled fruits! I loved them

Chocolate Limes-mmmm.

sparkling I love chocolate limes! Buy them all the time. I used to love cheery drops and abusers balls!

Oh shit haha! ANISEED* not abusers! Auto correct!

I have to ask what 'abusers balls' are Single. Is it a typo?

Thank goodness for that. 'Can I have a quarter of Abusers Balls please?'.

I cringed when realised what it said! Using my phone and apparently ANISEED isnt a recognised word

I still take DS2 to the proper sweet shop on a Saturday morning to get his little cheapy stash for the week. He gets sherbet dibdabs and flying saucers and 'candy sticks' and those banana shaped, banana flavoured banana things that I loved when I was little. And a refill for his pez.

He gets a Beano and a Dandy too.

I chose weighed sweets from the jar to keep in my bag like a proper mum.

It's like spending Saturday in the seventies.

And not cheery drops! Cherry drops*

We had Whizzer and Chips comic, or Bunty.

Love foamy bananas and shrimps Laura.

Single Was it Blubird's toffee with the hammer?

big girl yes I think it was.

What was the name of the chewing gum that came in a like a measuring tape case thing and also in square chunks?

Bubbaliscious? Single

The two flavoured sherbet was called "double dip", so sad that when you say it now, nobody thinks "sherbet", they think "recession"
DH told me the other day that chocolate bars are not 30p anywhere except in my head

Thank you. Double dip. Not sure it makes me think of the recession or sherbet. Something a bit ruder.

That's nearly 16 shillings!

And anyway, they're foul!

DH loves Sherbert Fountains. They just make me cough.

Our treat always used to be Fry's Turkish Delight. Mmmm
