    Anyone know if its still possible to get those chewy Apple Jack sweets, or Postman Pats. Used to love them until they disappeared from the shelves of my local shop one day and left a gaping hole in my life. I know you can still get black jack sweets and Fruit Salads, so surely Apple Jacks are still around??????

    They were great for a bit of sugar during the last few hours of primary school. I haven't seen applejacks around. Don't forgot the black linseed (I think) ones. :)

    mmm. my mouth is watering. all i have to do is think of black jacks thought to stop that. ugh. i thought blackjacks were liqourice.
    I rememer the packets. black jacks had a black thing with a bulbous nose and legs, his cousin was also similar on the apple jacks, only green. postman pats were blue and pink with a pic of him on it and the fruit salads were orange and pink.

    Postman Pats and Apple Jacks were my favourite penny sweets! Why doesn't somebody create a bebo to campaign for them to be brought back (ala Wispa :D)
