I remember being able to take 50p to the shop and getting a packet of Tayto (starter), a Mars Bar (main course) and a quarter of Wine Gums (dessert).

Happy days those.

When they packaged Mr Freezes, the would trap the liquid in between adjacent tubes in a sort of perfect mini-Mr Freeze tube, orthogonal to the standard size Mr Freezes.
I would cut them off and give them to my Action Force figures and wonder if the red cobra troopers were really just repurposed Nazi soldiers.
They had the same helmets and gas mask boxes.

Me too. Remember when they went up to 5p ("silver money"), we though Jesus's return was just around the corner!

I feel so old! I remember getting a newspaper cone of bon bons for 1d (yes, 1 'old' penny). The old lady in the shop (she was probably 40!) used to roll up squares of paper into a cone shape, and fill them up with sweets! Happy Days!
