Fish 'n' Chips - little 8p bag of "fish" and "chip" shaped snacks. Bag had faux newsprint on the front. Came in Salt 'n' Vinegar or - yes! - "Mashed potato flavour". Thats what I just found on Google and it was on a site about memories of different sweets and snacks.

Sam (hope you don't mind being called that) Up to a couple of years ago they were - I'll have a look next time I'm at cash & carry. Also the chicken ones eh! I also remember Nestles (then Rowntree Mackintoshes) doing a dark chocolate Toffee crisp for export only but the female members of my family used to work there and we were brought home Throw-outs. Also Cabana Bars - coconut and cherry and what about those coffee matchmakers oooooooohhhhh delicious (Another withdrawn product).

Oh Samantha I remember Twinkle. And the crisps I think they used to be salt and vinegar flavour and they were really salty. I'm sure I have seen them somewhere. I will keep my eye out. Debbie

Tracy Blackburn - Thanks for your reply. When I was little my mum used to buy me "Twinkle" comics. I also remember eating crisps that were shaped like fish and chips. I wonder if these are still around

Yes Maggie you can get tatties! Try Safeway, they had them in there big bags at the sweetie section. They don't have toys in them though and don't quite taste as good as I remember when I was young!

Lemonade Dippers, Oh I dream about them most days, every shop I go in I look for them,but sadly I have been looking for ages. Last time I saw them was when I was pregnant I ate loads and Loads. that was 8 years ago I last saw them about 3 years ago. I am not pregnant but I have a real craving for them now. If anybody knows where I can get them please let me know. Debbie

The first monster munch crisps, proper chipsticks , buying 2oz or a quarter of sweets,choc lick (complete swiz im sure it was just the chocolate grating off the floor!) dibdabs, proper sized wham bars, liquorice selections , pacers, banjos , the list is endless mmmmmmmm Jan x

Hi Samantha Yes I remember Spangles and unfortunately they don't seem to be still available - but Fizz bombs and Black Jacks are - I also remember a chocolate bar call Mousse (It was the same as a milky way) - I also remember the magazines Jackie which was 9p then 10p and My Guy - Now i'm showing my age what else do you remember - do you remember Tudor Crisps doing Roast Lamb and Mint Sauce.. I better give up whilst I'm ahead. Bye for now Tracy

Does anyone from Scotland remember Tatties, and do they still make them? Actually they probably don't they were a health hazard! Somes ort of Brown goo covered in I think it was cinnamon flavoured powder, with a tiny toy inside - just right for choking on!

I love all of the above, except liquorice. One sweet I love but can't find anymore is Butterscotch Gums. I have just bought a box of 18 Cadburys Cream Eggs, anyone what one? M.

no i havent tried those but they sound great, i'll look out for them now

Oooohh Yum!! I think I`ve put on weight just reading this thread!! :-) I love galaxy chocolate, revels, dime bars and yes those little milk bottles (have you tried the strawberry milkshake ones?) I used to like pacer mints, remember those?

i love the little milk bottles that you get, but i've yet to find anyone else who does - hope they dont stop making them!

I love Galaxy chocolate pink and white nougat bar bassets liquorice all sorts Tricia
