ABC letters, the really chalky ones
Sweet peanuts
Rhubarb rock
BonBons the old fashioned powdery ones

Another fan of Pacers.

Sherbet

Retro sweets? Sweets from the 70s then?

Sherbert dips! You can still find them in supermarkets’ sweets shelves, although I’ve only recently discovered this. My dog eats what’s left of the liquorice straw.

Cola bottles when they were flatter and longer and not all squat and square like now!
Sherbet pips/Tom Thumb drops
Lion Sportmix or midget gems when the black sweets were still liquorice flavour
Choc limes
Blackcurrant and liquorice
Floral Gums
Milk chews
Spangles(remember old English flavour- they were all brown?!)
Double Agents-a tube of sherbet filled round boiled sweets. Toffee apple or strawberry and cream!

Cough rock
Chelsea whoppers
Apple tarts

Flying saucers

Rowntrees butterscotch gums
aztec bars
jolly bars
sour apples

Flying saucers, orange mojos, space dust.

my DM’s were pear drops and toffees eaten together!

Flying saucers!

Sports Mixtures and Midget Gems

Alphabet letter sweets

Bubblegum bottles but they have to be really sour and pull your mouth to the back of your head.

Runts

They're not the same anymore are they? . I think you can still get the original Lion's recipe in some sweet shops though , or online .

Anyway, a recent discovery of mine is “Stripes” by MAOAM - fantastic fruit-flavoured chews, thoroughly recommended.

Cherry lips and floral gums - mixed up in the same bag

Sweet peanuts - but can’t get them anywhere ! I think they may have stopped making them 😒

I love Dolly mixtures but so few places seem to sell them now.

Also used to love Cola Cubes, apple sours and rhubarb and custard.

The white chocolate and raspberry flavoured skulls. They used to be in Wilko pick and mix but I can't seem to find them anywhere these days!

Blackjacks!
