retro sweeties

Push pops! and ring pops!

 

The pez sweets! yummy lol

 

I cant believe how much our generations were raised on sugar!
I liked push pops, ring pops, white mice (I know, gross!) bonbons in all flavours including the ones with gooey toffee in, toffifees, cola bottles and all pick n mix items! sherbert saucers! and a tonne of chocolate. No wonder I ended up with a mouthful of fillings

 

I remember the advert! With them pushing it up and grinning those awful cheesy grins

We dont tend to eat many sweeties these days, but the other day I checked out the sweet counter and was so shocked...tiny bag of walkers crisps for 50p, creme eggs were minute and 70p, everythings a lot smaller and more than double the price

"Back in my day" you could get a good packet of crisps for 10p and a weeks supply of sweeties for a quid...And Im only 21!

 

Snap- i was rich if i got 50p for sweet's i could get two things! OOOOO and those hamberger things.

 

we used to go to the sweet van that used to come round when we lived in England and buy a tube of hard sweets called frosties for 10p. I also used to get that candy rock stuff you got in packets and you put it in your mouth and it kinda crackled and popped lol

 

lol I used to mix that with coca cola and watch it come out through my nose
what about highland toffee bars?? black jacks mmmmmmmmm
fish and chips and kola kubes

 

This is a bit random but made me think of it - I was on a school trip once, and got popping candy stuck under my eye lid popping away - ouch!!

 

I loved them tiny little red sweets that tasted like soap! Havent seen them in ages! lol

 

i miss the fish n chip crisps...and the puff crisps...not sweets but got me thinking bout them

I also loved those gummy things that were multi-coloured with the film over them.
