I know - it's no wonder kids seem to speak a different language these days. Last night the nightclub I work in had an under 18's night. It's scary to see the stuff they wear & the language they come out with. It's shocking. Anyway, I always wanted one of the cars they had on Choc-o-block.

I am soooooo pleased. A couple of months ago myself and workmates were having this exact conversation and although we are all around the same age not one of them could remember Let's Pretend.

I thought I had imagined the whole thing!

lol!! Sorry! But did you see all your favourites?! Sweets that I haven't seen for YEARS were there!:-

• Cola Millionshttp://www.villagesweetshop.com/cgi-bin/trolleyed_public.cgi?action=display_product&prodid=JRCHW13
• Cherry Lips (used to die for these!)
• Fairy Satin
• Rhubarb & Custard
• Cough Candy Twists
• Kola Kubes (remember these with a passion!!)
• Peanut Brittle
• Anglo Bubbly Bubblegum (where would me 10 penny mix be without one of these!!)
• Coconut Ice (used to go nuts for this..)
• Sweet Tobacco (..and even nuttier after this!!!! Both v sickly but used to keep me quiet for ages!!)

Used to get a quarter of something on a saturday, and it was always so hard to choose from all those jars on the shelf!

What was Fairy Satin?

Using about 1/2lb of any hard boiled sweet for example, pear drops, cola cubes,cop cops or pinapple chunks. Bash and smash them up into little tiny pieces(great to do after a hard days work!) then drop them into a bottle ov vodka. With a bit of a shake all the pieces will disolve and create a fabulous flavoured vodka. The flavoured vodka can be drunk as a shot on its own, is refreshing with lemonade. I personally like the pear drop vodka with orange juice. ummmm!

 

[Bunny]

I've had flavoured vodka shots like that mmmm, yummy! I particularly liked kola kubes & mint chocolate. They did strawberries & cream & liquorish too.

 

[ALEX]

OOHHH. I hadn't thought ov making a mint flavoured vodka. That could be fab mixed with a little milk and choc ice cream. ohh the possibilities..........endless and naughty!
