Joto Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 In the 50s when Mam got her housekeeping money she'd buy us spangles or Roundtree's fruit gums, so I guess they were my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buck Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I loved highland toffee and licorice wood and imps oh and that chocolate that was a triple chocolate white milk and plain all in one bar can't remember what it was called.They were called Fry's Sandwich bars, you could choose dark chocolate sandwiched by white or vice versa.

RodWalker Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 What about coconut ice? Red and white and very sweet. You could also get it chocolate coated. And the sweet pink mice with a piece of string for its tail. There used to be a sweet shop on Exchange Alley (at least I think that's what it was called - ran between Norfolk Street and Fargate IIRC - entrance to Victoria Hall was on it as well).
