Oh gosh, we could be here for ages discussing favourite sweets GM, but does anyone remember Black Jacks? Penny Sweets, licorice flavoured I think. Or golf ball chewing gum?
Ohhh stinger bars, gloriously toxic in pink and green! the lovely yellow wedges of lemon saccharine Refreshers! Puffs crisps! Calypso drinks! and yes, yes, Golf Balls! (all the best sweets are made by Leaf in Kilcock. I used to boast to my friends that my auntie lived in the biggest sweetie-town in Ireland!)
Oh man, Wham bars, Stinger bars, Kola bars... Those were the good times in secondary school when the cafeteria used to stock them, and I was working in it :)
When I was growing up my favourite was a Flash bar. It cost 2d. Nearest thing to it these days is a Dime Bar.

Desperate Dan bars and packets of Refreshers (not those pansy bars though, bleugh).
ReplyDeleteNothing I love more than a Stinger Bar. Eating six of them is like being hammered.

I miss the Postman Pat sweets myself. Very tempted to go in search of a Macaroon bar after that pic..

I LOVE black jacks and how they make your mouth go all black.
