    This is for the kids of the '80's on here - mid decade there were these tiny fruit sweets that looked like teeny skittles but were single colour and they came in a flip-top plastic box that had the look of Lego bricks about them. I've been wrecking my head trying to think of the name of them. Can anyone help? :confused:

    Does anyone remember eat a yolks? Turtle shell shaped chocolate filled with yummy yellow stuff. Usually only appeared around Easter.

    Popped into my local to pay for petrol last week and spotted them on the counter. Had to get a few for old times sake. Yumm!

    I was mad excited when I saw these in my local shop a couple of months ago, and bought five! I was so disappointed as the yellow goo was replaced with some white muck that was a much thicker consistency. Would love the real thing!

    Thanks for the replies, but definitely not Nerds, Pez or Runts :(

    The box was about the same depth as and about 1 & 1/2 times the height & width of a matchbox ans 3 of the sides had connectors like lego on them. The flavour that stand out in my mind is Raspberry and they came in a dark dusty pink box. For some reason I think the name began with S - like Stackers or Sticklers.
