Recommended Posts

what about spangles or even five fruit polo's you dont see them anymore there is one thing you do see but with its name changed and thats marathon what is now snickers. what about the hazelnut bar what you could buy. my favourite grub is pigs trotters and black pudding also bread and dripping covered in salt, when I was a kid I use to love fussels milk spread on thick bread or even the small hovis loafs what you could buy as a kid. can you still get beechnut chewing gum or as that now gone, I use to get bags and bags of rainbow crystals and always buy them big sherbert lollies to dip it into the bag. I also use to eat a few of the fry's chocolate cream bars and the texan bars as well its know wonder I had problems with my teeth the last time I went to the dentist he said to me your teeth is alright your gums have got to come out lol.

Does anyone remember those bubblies called either Gold Dust or Golden Nuggets? (can't remember exact name) They came in a small cloth drawstring bag and were little bits of bright yellow bubbly. The bag may have had a cowboy or prospector or something similar on it in brown I think.

 

Me and my brothers loved them and used the little bags for keeping alsorts of stuff in afterwards!

Hiya

tried "chiklin n bag"

salt n vig ....lubbly

It used to be Lion Sports Mixture and Midget Gems. Unfortunately they have been taken over by Bassets and have completely ruined the mix by substituting the liquorice flavoured ones for blackcurrant. I dont buy them anymore :(
