Does anyone remember sherbet flying saucers?    They were horrible 

They really were horrible. I hated parma violets too.

My favourite chocolate bar when I was a kid was called a Wig Wag, from Cadbury I think. Now we have them called Curly Wurly.

How funny they changed the name when it moved to Canada!

I like toffee crumble, which I think I smashed up twixes that looks like poo but tastes v nice. And pink bon bons.

[Flossieteacake]

Strawberry bon bons were the best followed by lemon bon bons.

Ooh yes lemon ones are nice too! And I loved shrimps and bananas!

When I was little, I would go into the local sweet shop and they would would know before I asked that I wanted a 1/4 of white drops costing 3d from a glass jar on a shelf. ( old money, 1/4 lb of white chocolate drops). The people who owned the shop were lovely people.

That's a lovely memory Ju Ju.

I remember our local sweet shop (maynards it was called) and they had a tray of 'nice things', little compartments with sweets in and sometimes tiny little toys. I felt I was the bees knees when I stood on the little stool and she brought out the tray of nice things xxx

Haha! Sherbet Pips. They’re so tame these days, but when I was a kid we would have challenges of how long a person could hold a handful in their mouth before swallowing.

There we would all be, eyes watering and tight shut, trying not to drool, then heading home with the skin stripped off the inside of our cheeks and roof of our mouths.

Yes I remember sherbet pips xxx

When my mom picked me up from school, we nearly always went into the shop round the corner, the lady who owned the shop was lovely, she’d sit me on the counter and mom would buy me a glass of lemonade. I loved that lemonade.  Then mom would say, which one do you want this week? ….she’d buy me a small animal ornament, can’t remember they’re name now, there were loads to pick from, I had quite the collection.
Wade. That’s they’re name. Anyone remember wade animal’s ?

[discogirl]

I can't remember wade animal's Jillydoll.

But that is such a lovely, lovely memory you've shared xxx

Does anyone remember those pouches of pink and orange powder with a yellow stick that you dip in the powder? I used to like them. Can’t believe I used to eat pure sugar! It was great though!

I remember that. When reading your post I could taste the sugary stick! 🤮

I just checked and it was called double dip.

[Katherine]

Yes that’s it double dip! I just remembered gob stoppers, did anyone else call those big bubbly gum gob stoppers or was it just me and my friends?!! I would be scared of choking on them now
