hey all, Im creating a nostalgia website and was just wondering for those of you born in the 80's, what kinds of sweets do you remember from your childhood that arent around anymore/or have changed dramatically since then?

i's completely forgotten about astors. they were great

penny sweets aren't the same as they used to be. they're all cheap tasting and haven't got the same feel that they used to, and the haribo ones are like eating rubber. and they're normally about 20cents for about 12 of them! grrr...
i really miss nice penny sweets
