one penny toffees in green and red paper, that when you bit them, they took your filling or tooth out, and those long dolly mixtures for one penny about 1977, used to be able to pay 25p for 25 sweets at the Post office when my got her child benefit

sweetmonkey · 08/07/2005 15:19

oo oo oo the jellys that came in individual wrappers that were in the shape of things like incredible hulk and stuff

MugTreeSpoonFace · 08/07/2005 15:22

the little red sectioned trays that penny sweets used to sit in on the shelf... how unhygenic! and those little of white paper bags.

batter bits! you never get those now!!!

sweetmonkey · 08/07/2005 15:24

MugTreeSpoonFace · 08/07/2005 15:24

Dandelion & Burdock - can you still get that?

SaintGeorge · 08/07/2005 15:30

My uncle used to be a sales rep for Needlers Sweets and often brought us full 'penny trays' when he visited.

Best uncle in the world .

It was years before I figured out it was the out-of-date returns he had collected from shops.

MrsDoolittle · 08/07/2005 15:31

Root beer

MugTreeSpoonFace · 08/07/2005 15:33

I remember Hedgehog Crisps too!

QueenEagle · 08/07/2005 15:34

It's

A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat.
A finger of fudge is just enough until it's time to eat.
It's full of Cadbury goodness yet very small and neat
A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat.

With the boy playing conkers with his mate who keeps looking at someone who's got a Fudge bar, he turns away just as the boy takes a swing with his conker.
The look on the boy's face is priceless.

I miss Creamola. Nestle bought the company and stopped production - the evil multi national . And Texan bars.

almostanangel · 08/07/2005 15:34

Sweet tooth moi? never!

tiredemma · 08/07/2005 15:40

can you still get cadbury's caramac? remember the advert with the overtly sexual bunnyrabbit?

SoupDragon · 08/07/2005 15:41

The sexy bunny was Cadbury's Caramel I think.

Anyone remember ovaltine chocolate bars? I think it was just chocolate with flecks of ovaltine in but was scrummy.

MugTreeSpoonFace · 08/07/2005 15:42

Oh yes you can still get those but I think they are aimed at adults now!

PeachyClair · 08/07/2005 15:44

Caramac seems to have made a come back, but it is sweeter than I remembered it.

Dandelion and Burdock can be bought in Morrisons (I think- they certainly do the squash), I often kid my children it's coke, coz I think it has less caffeine

Pacers.... ah whatever happened to those?

sweetmonkey · 08/07/2005 15:44

AAA im sure you will both enjoy it LOL
i cant wait til thurs, cant believe i havent been tempted to munch yet LOL

Blu · 08/07/2005 15:50

Funny Feet lollies have had a recent revival.

Rennet? hester, you feel nostalgic for rennet? isn't it some sort on enzyme from a cow's stomach???
