I loved Spangles, I think Woolies brought them out again a few years back but they were not the same. Things just don't stay the same, is it me but I swear Curly Wurly's are now tiny compared to how they used to be. Space Dust was just so cool, wish I had thought to try it on the dog lol. I remember Ringo's first time round, what has happened to them they are now crispy and not melt in the mouth!! Do KP still do crisps I loved there cheese & onion flavour and used to buy them by the box. Kevin, I think the stripy mint chews were Pacers and the chocolate bar was Milky Bar advertised by the Milky Bar kid who is probably older than me now(old)!! I have tooth ache tonight so I laughed when I read all these sweet memories and yes that is why I have a mouth full of fillings to, but it was worth it. Before I go, someone mentioned Nutty bars, oh how I could eat one now, I used to nibble all the nuts off first(bliss)night all, Janie xx

I remember from the late 70's early 80's soft chewing mints that were Green and White stripes but can't remember the name and also the chocolate bar in a yellow wrapper, and i think they were advertised with a Cowboy or some other type of butch type person. what are the names this is going to bug me.

Not really keen on ice lollies although I love mint Feasts. Also used to like "mini milk" lollies. i also love those choc "sticks" in the purple packet. I can't remember the name. They are a bit like a flake and you get 2 in a packet

I went on the website to buy some sweets, but changed my mind when my most favourite sweets where going to cost me £20 plus £4.33 for postage. I like sweets but not that much lol

Hi all, I`ve just been browsing through the quarterof site, it looks really good. I`m now off to recommend it to my brother, who has a very sweet tooth. He also used to feed space dust to the dog when he was a lad! Rebecca

Eileen, I've never seen tatties south of the border, not even when I first moved to England 30 odd years ago. Maybe I'll get a scottish friend to get me some in Safeways!

Ahhhh fizz bombs why did you have to remind me of those. my mouth is full of fillings from all the old sweets I used to eat. It's funny i'm not that keen on sweets much anymore. I just like lemony sweets. I tell you what you try and buy a bag of lemon bon bons, strawberry you can pick them up anywhere but lemon oh no they dont. I reckon that is why I dont eat so many sweets now is because I cant find the ones I like. I'm really winding myself up here now I want all of my kiddy day sweets. Debbie
