    what would it be?

    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

    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

    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.

    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?

    The 1/2p coconut+choc small balls

    My favs - all gone now I think.

    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!
