    Fruit Salads and Black Jacks. Milk chocolate mice with pink stuff inside. White choc mice. Those flat choc sweets with yellow stuff inside, think there was a Y on them. Those brown mushroom shaped ones with desicated coconut on them, still available some places.

    Sigh....I miss 10p mix ups!!!

    Can you still get golf balls?
    Remember you could get packets of crisps for like 5 or 10p depending on what was printed on the packet!!!
    Those were the days. And flying saucers? They were class

    I never see golf balls anywhere anymore. Many a golf ball did I chew long after the flavour had dissipated, though saying that it only lasted a minute.

    Fantastic sketch. Ones called 'Big bars' were 5p, tiny though and came in white and dark chocolate, disgusting flavour. :/ Touchdown were nice.

    God, remember Crunchos... those beautifully crunchie hot dog flavoured crisps?! They were so yum. King made them and they were well expensive... at 12p a pack.
    I would love to start a campaign to bring them back- look at the Wispa... ressurected!!

    Also loved 3p Refresher sweets, cough sweets and Eat a Yolks... remember them? Chocolate half "eggs" with the suspicious yellow goo inside? They were 5p. When I was in college in Carlow, there was a real old- skool type newsagents that still sold them. We used to make ourselves sick with them for the memories!!!
