I loved spangles but they had to be the old english flavour. Uncle joes mintballs from wigan taste similar. Yummy I liked the tobacco too I think it was made of coconut. Can you remember when you used to get 4 gummy teddy bears for 1p now they are 30p for a bag with about 15 in. Ooh I just remembered I used to like the chewing gum that tasted like tcp. Jackie:o)

Jackie I liked dipping liquorice in sherbert too - rainbow crystals or Amercian cream soda. Your bag would be all sticky and you always ran out of liquorice so had to eat the rest with a wet finger! Debby

I liked sherbet but my mum banned me from it cos I choked on it.lol She also banned me from space dust, but it was my fault, I wanted an extra buzz and put 2 packets in my mouth, and once again I choked. Jackie:o)

Jacki, yes do remember the gummy bears, good value for money they were! Remember getting into trouble at school for chewing one of those tcp chewys during assembly.(he he) xx

Anyone remember Bazooka bubble gum? It was wrapped in waxy paper and if you saved so many up, you could send off for a free gift but can't remember what the fee gifts were! Debby

there was a chewy and you used to get a free tatoo inside, cant remember was it was called though x

Best of all though was the old lucky bags!! sweets and a toy!! wow it was like christmas come early! :)

Cadbury's fudge bars and cough candy.

Jackie, I remember the chewing gum (or was it bubble gum) that tasted like TCP. Why would we eat that do you think? I also liked sherbet dabs (sherbet with a toffee lolly to dip), sherbet fountain, spangles, sweet tobacco (it was coconut), sherbet lemons, penny chews ( actually i think it was two for an old penny) Ann Glos

Hi Amanda :) Hi Everyone :) Sadly I can no longer find one of my all time favourites. Jap Desserts does anyone remember them. Debby :) Thank you for the sweet link though I am in sweet heaven looking at some of these :) lol Colin :):)

I liked Spangles too mainly the orange ones, I used to like Mojos as well, little chewy sweets - they were great as you would get 4 for 1P - showing me age there !! oops !! My favourites though are Rhubarb and Custards. xx

Hi Colin;) dont remember that dessert, what was it? ;)

Yes Ann you are right it was bubble gum, the only reason I used to have them was because i liked the taste but I know my brother had them because you couldn't smell he had been smoking. lol Jackie

Colin I remember Jap Desserts, little square things orange, yellow, pink and brown. I wasn't that keen on them. My favourite was a bulls eye I haven't seem them about for years. Berylx

Hi Amanda :):) Sorry I was out to lunch :) Hi Beryl, :):) You are certainly right they were a soft candy which came in different colours and filled with a coconut centre :):) Most things with coconut I will eat though :) Colin :):)
