What’s everone favourite childhood sweets.

[BigDaddyCool]

Definitely Wham Bars and Toffos!

You can still get Wham bars today, but they are about half the size that they used to be, and a lot softer…

Ohhh I remember Toffo! You don’t see them about anymore.

Mine would be Caramac (I know they are still about but I don’t see them as much anymore)

And these bad boys to annoy the fuck out of your parents and your mates although I remember there being a parrot on the wrapper when I was a kid though.

And of course the grand daddy that would have you bouncing off the walls!

Good old fashioned pear drops that made you do that little cough?

Just a few mate. If I remember rightly everything was in quarters. So you’d have quarter of bonbons or pear drops. Flying saucers were my favs. ?

I used to really like these, and I’ve got a vague memory of a similar sweet that played music inside your head when you sucked it lol but I’m not sure if I dreamed it ?

Before M & M’s

White mice or foam bananas !!xx

[Green2711]

Oh I forgot Flying saucers, they were the bomb! Also because they was only sugar paper and a bit of sherbet you’d get value for money with a massive bag of them :D.

My mum used to help my grandad run a family owned sweet shop when she was younger as well, sadly I didn’t get that luxury haha.

[Green2711]

Did anyone ever try these? Took the lining right out your mouth haha.
