treats melt in your mouth not in your hand

[Jordyboy9]

[Traci66]

They melt in your hand Baza, especially if they are still covered in fresh chillies.

I remember Spanish Gold, I used to get it when I went to saturday morning pictures years ago.

[baza]

Traci I keep well clear of fresh chillies since reading your prev post.

It used to be known as sweet tobacco, way back in the non-PC days when every boy's dream was to find a smoker's set in his Xmas stocking, consisting of the aforementioned delicacy, chocolate cigars, liquorice pipes decorated with blue or red sparkles and packets of sweet cigarettes (candy sticks).

[emmie]

i remember the sweet cigarettes, and pink shrimps, which you can still get, cola cubes, flying saucers, long strips of licorice, and ones that were like a catherine wheel, with a little sweet in the middle. Smiths crisps, little blue bag of salt, and tizer, my favourite.

Gobstoppers that changed colour about 10 times. Spangles,as previously mentioned, decent sized Wagon Wheels, the times when Mars Bars only cost 4d in pre-decimal money, (and even then they were the most expensive of sweets), sherbet dips, flying saucers.

This might be worthy of some research but: are Wagon Wheels actually smaller than they were nearly 50 years ago? A Wagon Wheel in the hands of a 5 year old boy, as I was, before they were removed from the scene, even at the same size would look slightly smaller in the hands of a 30 year old man. I can see someone getting a PhD out of researching Wagon Wheels!
