Smile 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!!

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

Love them though!

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

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.


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

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.
