I loved tiger nuts and I was trying to think what the jamboree bags were called.

Sherbert pips mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
cough candy
chocolate limes

We used to have glucose sweets in the car. I think they were made by Pascall and were fruit sweets shaped like little loaves. Revolting things but we were always made to suck them as it was supposed to ward off travel sickness.

Does anyone remember the red liquorish sherbet fountains? I hate black liquorish but loved the red liquorish ones. We also had sweets to suck when travelling they were an amber colour but my memory fails me on what they were called. We have a sweet shop down our high st that sells all the old style sweets. You can get them online at

somebody else remembers Nutty Bars!!!! <remembers to breathe> right, where was I, ah yes Nutty Bars, for years I have been telling my other half about them and all that time he thought I was making them up Shocked

all he kept saying was "hmmm you can remember a bar called that?!?! Why am I not surprised?? Are you sure it was real, and not just something you imagined?"

So now bless him he has had to give in and believe me Razz

I remember Pacers (school trip sweets, to stop you feeling sick!)

Who remembers Treats? Only to be replaced with M&M's peanut ones?

Have Cabana bars been mentioned yet? Always ALWAYS gave me toothache
Rolling Eyes

Spacedust? POP! POP! POP! Our German Shep used to love that stuff (in moderation of course and yes I cleaned his teeth after............. using my brothers toothbrush Wink

)
