sweets.

[cupid04]

what were your favourite sweets when you were young? mine was sherbet fountains and jamboree bags.

[carrot99]

yeah jamboree bags but for the toy not the rock hard little sweets and toffees. Lengths of licorice with a `diamond' ring tied on it - hated the licorice loved the rings! Fry's 5 Boys (?) a little bar of chocolate with heads instead of chunks, all with different soft fillings.

My mum used to work at Barratts Sweet Factory and if you knew how they treated the stuff you would not touch any of it! The sweepings were used to make the sweet tobacco. My favourites were the jelly dummies, even though I knew where they came from.

JMR27 - Highland Toffee if my memory serves me right - you could get different varieties (normal, strawberry, banana etc).

My favourites - MB Bars

[mrs_overall]

zzxxee - it's a Smarties one.

I will replace it - I learned my lesson when the kids were little and I got an attack of the munchies. All that was in the house was their advent calendars.

I convinced them that December only had 17 days

[JMR27]

Well done annie. I forgot about there being different flavours.
And does anyone remember Lucky Bags.
