Default Childhood sweets
What sweets can you remember being around when you were a kid?

We had the great penny sweets (how I miss those) but I also remember these being massive choices for kids when i was one:






This came with a sweet iirc (my sisters had so many of these).

Strawberry whips. The full 1 metre ones that you tie around your belt at school and chew on them all day.

Every now and then I go on eBay and buy a box for old times sakes.

I remember half penny sweets! Used to get two gummi bears or black jacks etc for a penny, so you could get 20 sweets in a 10p mix up!!

There were these fizzy hard boiled sweets. The same texture as the colour polos.

They were coin shaped and they were delicious. I can't remember what they are called. There was a strawberry flavour and a coke flavoured one in the pack.
