classic sweets!

wheres me jumpa

i had a chomp bar tonight for the first time since i was 12!! now that bar is what this country was raised on! brought back memories of touch down bars, taz bars, desperate dans and macaroons!!!!!

what were your faves???!

NotMe

What you mentioned plus laser bars, stingers, tangy bars, curly-wurlys..

wheres me jumpa

i was going to include one in my list but wasnt sure what it was called, it was small toffee tingy covered in choc, and it was a time or big time or sumthing like that

My favourite sweet from years ago that they don't sell anymore was those toffee lollipops...for some reason, they stopped stocking them. Shape, they kicked ass...

Oh, and I always had a think for woppas. The old ones, all soft and schtuff.

NotMe

Oh God! This thread is making my mouth water. I haven't eaten any of these sweets in years.

Frosties! I used to always buy them.

wheres me jumpa

lads two words for ya..... chocolate mice!!!!!

NotMe

Mmmm.. white chocolate mice...yeah

Cola bottles, Postman Pats, Refreshers...

Sherbet!

Stephen

apple drops... nyom.

wheres me jumpa

postman pats!!!!!! it was so hard to get the paper off!! but worth it. remember the cough drops that used to be in jars next to the postman pats/apple drops they were nice too.

and of course the highland toffee bars! can you still get the slim dairy milk bar? that was the nicest cabury bar

NotMe

Remember the ufos with sherbet in the middle that melted in your mouth. Or the straws full of sherbet that you'd choke on. And the lollies you dip in, Double Dip I think.
