Sweet that you loved when you were a kid...

[Pyramid*]

But can't get now?

I used to love Aztec Bars, Mint Cracknel Bars - as well as crips you don't get now, Tudor were the make and their best flavours were Steak-n-Onion and Gammon, no crisps today come anywhere close!

Anyone else fancy a trip down memory lane!!:hugesmile:

You still get whoppers... but they aren't quite the same as I remember them being when I was a kid.

Love them though!

[Kerry]

Just remembered footballs. Not sweets but crisps. Little round balls which were like a smokey bacon flavour. Uh, they were gorgeous

[Beastie]

Wonky Bars. Marble.

A quarter of choc lick which was ground up smarties and crunchies and other choclate bits was my fave.

Wham bars and strawberry refreshers. My local shop still sells them. I send my daughter for them (for me) :D

[Benjamin]

In my day (god I sound like I'm 50) we had penny sweets. I always used to fill the bag with more than what I said was in there. :hugesmile:


But FTW is Toffee Crumble. By far the most amazing thing in the whole wide world.

[Kerry]

Oooooooooooh and strawberry laces. Cola bottles too! I know you can still get them but soooo nice

[Pyramid*]

Old enough to be Cher's mother!!!

Aztec bars - must have been about 7 or 8 when I last saw them. Similar to a Mars Bar with raisins in them...delish.

Mint Cracknel bars - was a flat thinnish bar, thin chocolate covering with what can best be described as slivers of minty sugar (imagine very fine shards of glass...but in minty sugar slivers)... .they were brilliant.

Nerds! damn no sweets in the house im gonna pig out tomorrow.

Did they also come with a 'transfer' - you know, like a pretend tattoo on a bit of paper that you'd lick, then slap it onto your skin!!!

[Stacey.]

[billy123]

Did they also come with a 'transfer' - you know, like a pretend tattoo on a bit of paper that you'd lick, then slap it onto your skin!!!I was thinking the very same thing i have vivid memories of trying to use the comic strip thing as a tattoo and it never working so maybe sometimes it was a tattoo and sometimes a comic strip.

No, but I know what you mean. These were like pink chewy sticks. I've just been Googling like mad but can only find Dentine (which are similar but too small)
