Sweets you ate when you were a kid

[San]

Just been reading the vices thread and it got me thinking about the sweets you used to eat as a youngster.

I used to love cherry lips and floral gums. You can still buy them but they aren't the same now.:cry:

Also, what about space dust, pacers and those licorice pipe things?

I love old sweets, google it but Im sure the site is called something like village sweet shop.

I loved the white chocolate cones with sprinkles on top, and the popping candy that fizzed in your mouth. My Nan always gave me Parma Violets, I used to hate them but I felt I had to eat them!!!! lol!!!

The salon that I sometimes work sells sweets for charity.
It's a good idea obviously because it is for a good cause.
It also lets me and Ant eat loads of yummy sweets that we wouldn't otherwise think of buying.
Mine are for the kids of course:lol:
charity sweets
It's along the lines of this and they come in and refill the box as needed.
I got a bag of white mice last week and they were just like the ones I used to eat...Rachel only let me have 2 though.

Does anybody remember Quiz Bars? They were in strawberry, banana, chocolate and spearmint flavours. Long thin bars of chewy stuff with a general knowledge question & answer on the wrapper - hence the name! Oooooh - just made me mouth water!!!!!
