Best sweets ever - and why!!

[Legendary_PSR]

i'd forgotten about sherbert cocktails, which **** up my stomach even more

i keep forgetting all these cos i don't eat many sweets anymore. my teeth are uber-sensitive

[Stephen]

rather than list my fav old sweets, there are way to many. just go here.

www.aquarterof.co.uk

They sell a lot of old sweets you may have thought are no longer made.

Texan Bars - bite through the chocolate, and chew, real slow... they were back last year but seem so much smaller now...

Zing Bars - from way back, but I was too young to remember why!

Ovaltine chocolate - it reminds me of my college days...

Worryingly I have also developed a habit of eating a Twix with beef crisps, both in my mouth at the same time. The sweet/savoury mix is heaven!

Do you know when it's due?


White chocolate mice - fond memories. I also used to love those soft sugary strawberries. Just a flat shape but made of something other than jelly - not the cherry lips stuff.

Apple Tarts & Pear Drops.........and they were tart as well, used to make the roof of my mouth sore sometimes

Oh and Rhubarb & Custards & Pineapple Chunks

Just found a few more here, especially the top two

No... I don't even know if it's just the one! Sounds like a strange mix, but I recommend anyone to try it...

sherbert fountains, spangles, and my fav toffos cause they were different flavours and very very chewy

[Nanook]

Lion Midget Gems and Sport Mixture were my all time favs, untill they were bought out by Maynards or whatever happened, then the liquorice flavour ones changed to blackcurrant. Unforgivable!

Oh yeah, Floral Gums... tasted of errrr... flowers I guess

Toffos were my favorites.

Isn't it Bon Bons ?

Anyway I used to love Lemon ones. I did buy some Asda own brand ones recently and they weren't very nice.

Sherbet Dib dabs were also fantastic.

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?

Can't remember, it's that long since I've had them. You're probably right though, knowing me
