aw they were little mini cadbury bars and things xxx

I remember when they were sold in a toy. I think it was a money box. You had to put money in and a mini chocolate would come out. They used to advertise the toy around Christmas.

i do think i remember those flossie xxx

[jillydoll]

Ohhh yes Flossie, I had one of those. 😃

[Joaniepat]

Jamboree bags anyone? Or Caramac?

[CLKD]

Yes Joaniepat - remember both.  Not a fan of the latter - though we did wake early 1 morning because the dogs in the street were barking: on looking out of the window there was the Cadburys bunny and Caramac bunny floating quietly by from the local Balloon Festival  . along with about 25 other shapes and sizes .

[discogirl]

I remember caramac's.

That must have been a funny sight CLKD to see the cadburys bunny and caramac bunny floating along being chased by a lot of barking dogs xxx

[Flossieteacake]

Jillydoll You were lucky! I always wanted one.

I remember caramc but not jamboree bags. I looked them up and they sound brilliant. It must have been nice to see what the lucky charm was.

[jillydoll]

Ohhh, we called them lucky bags. Are they the same?
Never liked caramac. Found it too sweet.    (she says, who it seems, lived on sweets)   

[Flossieteacake]

I remember lucky bags. Maybe they are the same thing.

[discogirl]

Aw I loved lucky bags xxx

[Flossieteacake]

Aw I loved lucky bags xxx

It was like reading a comic and getting a free sweet with it.

Or a large square blot of bubble gum which one had to fold in order to be polite as 1 stuffed it into 1's gob

beech nut chewing gum (remember those, the little packets of chewy, and I think you could get them in different flavours too)

[Songbird]

Does anyone remember sherbet flying saucers?    They were horrible 

[CLKD]

Yep.  Rice paper and chemicals  our village shop sells lots of old fashioned sweeties but I don't think that they are the same recipes
