This thread is making me hungry. Damned munchies at this hour of the morning. Me? I'd kill for some Opel Fruits.. No! They are not the same as Star Bursts..I stopped buying those when they changed the name.

I'm nearly sure those Flying Saucers you mention can be got in Lidl or somewhere. I must take a look the next day I'm in.

As for childhood sweets, hmm, Golfball penny chewing gums, 3p pops that used to be in a big plastic jar, and Curly Wurlys before they were shrunk into their current condition

Nevyn

Chocolate limes, like chocoalte oranges but not.

Chris P Duck

I cant remember there name but this morning ive had a craven for one of them. They were a hard chewy toffee bar with a really thin coating of chocolate on the outside. Use to get them for about 10p. I think the were called calipsos. Your jaws would be wrecked tired after eating one. Wasnt my favourite sweet but for some reason I want one today

Kolodny

Those weird pink chewy prawns.

Mr. Presentable

LLC Gums

Klipso bars

There was a shop on Camden street/Kevin Street that used to sell all these old skool sweets, it was about 2 years ago that I was in and they had everything you remember from being young.
I bought about a kilo of apple drops.

Nightwish

Nerds, Dweebs or Hi-Sours..........my mouth is watering at the mere thought of them

ghostchant

Postman pat sweets and crunchos were THE nicest things ever! Oh yeah and jelly babies - the little skinny ones, but you can still get them.
And do they still sell taz bars?

Hi

I used to LOVE a bar of chocolate in the late 80's early 90's. It had choclate mousse type in the middle and strings of milk chocolate coating the outside. It came in a slim, long cardboard holder and goldy coloured wrapper. I vaguely remember it being a 'swirl something' or probably not! It was expensive at the time about 85p but by god did it tastes good!

I've been wrecking my head and canot remember the proper name, so please help if you can before I go insane!

oops, too late!

How could we ever forget the apple drops, especially after eating about a 1/4 lb and your tongue would be destroyed.....

Yum....

Probably all the additives in them are now taken off the market....

TEXAN BARS. - THE MIGHTY CHEW

And I have them now. Bought them in from an online sweetshop in the UK .

They came out in August for a limited period - till december

Kinda hoping there is enough demand to make them keep making them

Haven't seen them in Dublin yet.

I phoned Nestle Ireland to findout if they are available in Ireland and if now why not.

They are not as cheap as they used to be but are high in memory value, bought them several times now and must say, they are as good as I remember.

bit of a cheat, but i have recently re-descovered pez after seeing them in a shop beside my work. Had'nt seen them for years till about 2 weeks ago.


Brilliant flavour packed sweets, very easy to go through a pack of ten and tear your tongue to shreads and dye it a horrible colour. Fantastic sweets, and a blast from the past now to only find a despencer...

Absolutely loved the Postman Pat Penny sweets as well. Used go to shop every day in the summer or every second day with £2 (don't ask me where I got the money, think my uncle used give me £20 and that'd last me ages, plus other relations would give me money as well) and buy 2 KitKats, a crazy amount of crisps (back when they were 10p a bag) and the rest on the Postman Pat sweets. Good times

+1 for postman pat strawberry chews, I'd sell my postman for one!
Also, Terry's Pyramids, think of a giant mint munchie (formerly mintolas) in a pyramid form, circa 1989. Mnyom.
