Can still buy many of those 'old' sweeties :-)

Our shop sells sherbet flying saucers in different colours but haven't seen rice paper for years.

I remember Tudor crisps,used to spend my school snack money on them,2 & a half pence 

[Penguin99]

winter mixture had clove sweets, they stank! I remember tudor crisps. Didn't they used to do a spring onion flavour? They were yummy.

[jaypo]

Haha yes, I think so and pickled onion

[Penguin99]

Ooh yeah lovely, think they did gammon too.

I had to Google Tudor crisps as I'd never heard of them. Perhaps they weren't sold as far south as London? Anyhow, Wikipedia says they did chocolate and kipper flavours  . Tell me it isn't true!!!!

I dont recall them flavours ( thankfully) yep they were down south, I'm about 30 mile from London. 

[Joaniepat]

Penguin99, think I had a lucky escape there

The gammon, spring onion & pickle onion flavours were lovely, you missed out I'm glad I missed out of the other flavours! I did try the hedgehog flavour crisps once, think smiths made them.

Texan chocolate bars
Bones salt & vinegar crisps (very salty!)
Corona Cherryade - used to get a bottle of this when we had fish & chips on a Friday.
The new shape Aero bars when they first came out,me & a friend ate about 20 of those in a day.
Mum's steamed chocolate pudding with chocolate custard
Vienetta - the height of sophistication if we had guests.
In general - all chocolate, as you got a much bigger bar than the piddly little things you get nowadays.

I used to get a Texan Bar every day from school tuck shop. They were my absolute favourite! Also love chocolate cake and choc custard.
I remember raspberry ripple ice cream being a treat x

What was a Texan bar again? Rings a very faint bell

[Jane50]

Chewy toffee nougatty in the middle and choc on outside. Had a yellow wrapper I think. Advert was 'Its a mighty big chew' or something like that!

[CLKD]

No ringing of bells in this head about Texan bars 

Don't like nougart [sp] anyway. 

Who thought that jelly with ice cream might be a good idea

Production of Wagon Wheels and Jammie Dodger biscuits could be halted at an Edinburgh factory this month as staff strike over pay, a union has warned.

The GMB union accused Burton's Biscuits, which also makes Maryland cookies, of making a "derisory" pay offer that had "insulted" workers.
It said staff would stage three 24-hour walkouts, with the first on Wednesday.


Will these be stockpiled like loo rolls were
