tsavo Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Can you still buy other Mackintosh products: Rolos, and another one which I can't rmember the name - it was a long skinny packet with about 20 small chocolate cubes - with runny toffee and crunchy biscuit.???!!! Sounds like you are thinking of Munchies, Helbco. Also, do you remember Mintola? Similar but with a mint centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevd Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks for all the replies.Bringing back happy memories. Just found that they are selling the original BAZOOKA bubblies on a stall in the fish market sheffield £1 a box.lovely . but taste lasts about 5 seconds.still smell the same as ever though. Theres also an old sweet shop at the bottom of the hill near park square i used to take my kids there when they were younger.(grannellis) i think its called. Bring back the old sweet shops? I dont think the dentists would agree though. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jass Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 What about Waggon Wheels - when they were really big. Not like the teeny things you get these days. Used to love Floral Gums, bought by the quarter from a big jar on the top shelf. Little muti-coloured sweets they were, so you used to get loads weighed out into a paper bag. Cheers, Jas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helbco Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 yes was probably munchies. You can still buy full size waggon wheels I think - as well as packets of biscuit size. Anyone remember a wonderful cake shop on Abbeydale Road called Gregories? they had amzaing vanilla slices and 'ice tarts' which were a small bakewell tart with thick icing. Forget to check if it was still there in August last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janner Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 During the war when sweets were scarce , we could sometimes buy Spanish liquorice from the chemist,s. It came as a hard black lump , a bit like coal. We also bought sticks of cinnamon, which we tried, unsuccessfully , to smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
