Don't know if I am old enough to post here. Most sweets I remember eating as a kid are still around, excepting of course as someone mentioned Refreshers... The ONLY way i'd have some intake of banana into my body.
Still, I used to/still love:
1. Cola Cubes
2. Strawberries and cream
Not impossible to get nowadays, but penny-sweet sellers are pretty thin on the ground these days...
Oh yeah, and as Electrolyte reminded me Bon-Bons, and Murray Mints. Also... There were citrus-flavoured packs of polos I haven't seen on sale for a few years.
Edit: And why? Cuz they tased good?
