Sweet that you loved when you were a kid...
 
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 27-11-2010 10:32 PM

My faves were always flying saucers but you can still get them. I still love them

Kerry 27-11-2010 11:29 PM

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

I think they were replaced by caramel freddos but ive not seen them for a long time.

Kerry 28-11-2010 12:56 AM

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

Benjamin 28-11-2010 12:58 AM

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 28-11-2010 12:58 AM

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

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.
