Ha ha disco girl, yes the sweets were awesome back in the day!
The chocolate cigarettes were nice! Seem to recall the name being changed to ‘ candy sticks’ more recently. Probably un pc to call them cigarettes!

I looked it up and they had all different kinds. I cannot remember the ones I saw though. It shows they had things like football and Thunderbirds.

I just read that chocolate had cashew nuts. I wonder why they stopped adding those to chocolate.

True, although they use hazlenuts.

Oh yes, white mice. Some were pure sugar and others white chocolate.

Aniseed balls. I’ve eaten them by the dozen.
Not all at once, my mouth isn’t that big.  ;D

Just remembered, I scared my grandma to death with one of those once, I let the  red colour of the sweet, dribble out of my mouth, all down my chin, and I pretended I’d hurt myself. When she saw me, she was flapping about, saying What have you done, what have you done? ….I turned round smiling, and she knew I was kidding. …..yep, got a clip round the ear for my trouble!  ;D ;D

Jillydoll, your poor grandma  ;D

I used to break a gobstopper as soon as it was in my mouth. My poor teeth!

I did not travel by train so cannot remember those small chocolate bars.
