Ledge

If we are on the subject. What sweets do you miss from a kid.

Space Dust
Spangles

Great

StanmoreAddick

Cola cubes!!

Ketman

Texan Bars
Half penny chews

Mortain

Wham bars.

The company that makes them (and highland toffee's) has gone into liquidation apparently.
Will be a travesty if these stop getting made.

The golf ball bubble gums.

I loved those candy cigarettes. Doubt whether you can still get them.

No wonder I was on the fags at 14.

I used to like cola balls.

Little silver balls, cola flavoured with some kind of seed thing in the centre.

Hmmm...it's a locked on fact that sweets today do not taste as good as when you were younger.

You can still get Space Dust from the various niche sites like the one Carling mentioned, but they only seem to sell the strawberry flavour, which is a shame cos the orange ones were much nicer. Spangles were foul though.

The Prince-e-Paul

i liked Bazooka Joe's. you know they had little cartoons inside the wrappers.

how about this as a blast from the past that suddenly doesn't seem any good any more. i saw a 'Why don't you?' on telly and it was crap, nothing like i remember. how things change, or maybe we all grow up a bit. even if only a bit.
