Best sweets ever - and why!!

[Mr Angry]

OK, Trip down memory lane. Start listing your favourite sweets from yesteryear and reasons why.

1. Spanish Gold Tobacco.
Why? - Because I said so.

2. Sherbert filled Flying Saucers.
Why? - Like holy communion, with taste, but without the hassle of mass.

can't remember exactly what they were called but those chocolate cigarettes

yes, ok, they were just nasty cheap chocolate wrapped in paper, but somehow it made the paper taste good

fizzy cherry cola bottles
why? "because..."

Spangles
white chocolate mice
bazooka chewing gum complete with joke
aztec (these were only out for a few months in the 70's)
dundee biscutes OMG huge chocolate covered shortbread (on one side) and sugar coated on the other, they came in packs of 4 or 5 if I remember??

Refreshers. When I was about 10.

Moon dust - Remember that for the brief period, again when I was about 10.

Yorkies - Solid chunks of chocolate - not for girls. Now, aged 35!

Does anyone remember "Rondello" biscuits?

I almost divorced Mrs Angry because she flatly refused to believe there was a cereal called "Puffa Puffa Rice". But we got over it (with counselling).

[Fingy]

Parma Violets - why - no idea but I like them and can still get them

Wham bars - why - because I still don't understand how they didn't pull my teeth out

10p mix ups - why - when there were still 1/2p's you got loads!

Cherry lips - why - no idea, they taste like perfume now.

I forgot caramac (a light brown chocolate bar) and swizzles (small circular tablets) are these still available?
