How about butterscotch gums? Also I remember a little plastic cup with chocolate in which you ate with a tiny spoon and at the bottom of the cup was some strawberry stuff! Yummy. Can buy coltsfoot rock all over the place now; also seen Old Jamaica around. But you can't get Squirrel dolly mixtures any more and they were the only true ones - Bassetts are rubbish in comparison!

Geoff Duke
'Moon Dust' sherbert that popped and fizzled in your mouth and 'Rainbow Drops' that were a bit like Rice Krispies but sweeter and multicoloured. Also, the original Golden Nuggets breakfast cereal were considerably bigger in the seventies; 'Black Bart' who made up the marketting trio with 'Klondike Pete' and his horse 'Pardner' was not written out for obscure PC reasoning at that time.

Tracey
football puff crisps and galaxy chocolate counters in a white bag with a picture of a giraffe.

Jackie

Gordon
Yes Gwenn, I DO REMEMBER MILK MOTORING and you are the only other person I've come across who does too. I'm one of those correspondents who should be saying "I thought I was losing my marbles..." Milk Motoring came in a red slip cover and was a milk chocolate bar laced with raisins and nuts. It was the most valued of all the bars in Christmas Selection Boxes, and I was a Turkish delight fan! Can't find any reference to this bar anywhere else on the web. Why not?

Baz (again)
Just found another online supplier I might try - www.sweets2yourdoor.co.uk They only seem to sell in large quantities, but they do stuff like sweet tobacco, candy watches (I think I read a message where someone describing them)., jazzies (chocholate drops covered on the top with multicolored "hundreds and thousands" and snowies - same but white chocolate.I haven't found anywhere yet selling Aztec bars or similar, but I have recently found coconut mushrooms. Heaven!

Baz
Pineapple chunks, sarsaparilla drops (and now dandelion and burdock drops), pear drops, barley sugar, etc. - try www.stockleys-sweets.co.uk Where can I buy McCowans egg and milk chews? I remember caramac - very sickly if you ate too much. Cinder toffee - delicious but like most stuuf, not good for your teeth.

Patrick
I had my last Aztec bar about 35 years ago. I still can't forget it! They were the best tasting thing I've ever eaten. My family think I'm making it up.

Gwenn
Anyone remember Milk Motoring? I also miss Triple bars and Cremola Foam (1950s). I remember that some things were only sold in certain parts of the country and not in others so it's possible some things that people are missing are still actually sold but outside their area.

Franky B, Bolton
Strwaberry flavoured Bon Bons, Chocolate Chewing Nuts I used to buy a Quarter of each when studying and only allowed myself one if I remembered the formula - they lasted ages !!!!

Those long toffee bars with chocolate running through them, Tiffin, Five Boys. And I think there was one called Sandwich Bar with milk chocolate on the outsides with dark chocolate sandwiched in the middle.Our local paper shop had three boxes in the back one with penny lucky bags, threepenny ones and if you were lucky you could go to the sixpenny one, usually on your birthday. Happy memories.

Ann
No, you didn't imagine them,smoker's kits came in liquorice or chocolate, and those cigarettes, they weren't actually sweets, they had some sort of powder in the tip and you could give the illusion (or so we imagined)of real smoke !! The good old days.

Alan
egg and milks, walkers, mojos, black jacks, fruit salads oh the joy

Nik
Bones were fab.BTW Crusha have stopped manufacturing Lime, Cherry and Pineapple crusha.This is a poor state of affairs.

Garry
Hi deb fairclough/rainhill that was called Spanish Gold,does anyone remember jubilies,Orange juice looked like a triangle we use to buy it frozen, always made your lips go numb I though Black Jacks & Fruit Salad were great,8 for a penny great value.Rhubarb stick it use to stick to your teeth like evostick! Original Liqorice sticks looked like a pice out of a hedge you would chew the stick and suck on it to get the taste, and whistlers they were made out of chewing gum and when you blew through them they would whistle

Dan Shaw
I used to buy a quarter of 'licko' from the corner shops near the local swimming baths. It was basically MnM's, Smarties and other choclate ground into a powder, which often created a sticky mess.

sam
anyone remember salt and vinegar bones in a black packet. they were my favourite.

Vic Whittle
I loved Sherbet Lemons as a kid.I tried not to crunch them, but nibble the end and suck the sherbet out.Years later I bought a quarter in a sweetshop, but for some reason the magic had gone.Mind you, if I had a choice, I think I would rather have my teeth.

Emma
Rainbow Drops, they were like bright coloured Rice crispies Gob Stoppers Palma Violets, Yum Lippy chick, Cherry flavoured chew bars - made your cheeks laugh Wham chew bars

david coleman

Steve W Scott (Bristol)
Texan Bars - (Chocolate covered, white chewy centre)Star Bar - (Disappeared in the mid 80s and returned mid 90's)They were and still are my favourite.Aztec Bar - My recollection leads me to believe it was a breaktime biscuit for school, like the Taxi, Club, Blue Ribbon, etc..Pacers - Green & White Striped, Minty Opal Fruits (Opal Mints).Splicer - Opal Fruit type chew but in a bar and five colours, five flavours.Kola Spangles & Fruit Spangles - Memories go back to Christmas morning and selection boxes.Caramac - Tan coloured, thin chocolate bar. Admittidley, it didn't taste too much of chocolate.Space Dust / Moon Dust - Popped on your tongue, sounded quite loud in the ears and was supposedly taken of the market because there was reports of kids having epileptic fits after eating it. It briefly reappeared on the market in the mid 90s as moon rocks, the Kellogs Rice Krispies gave them away free in promotional packs in the late 90s. They called them Pop Rocks. They were 3g packs X 3 sealed in a little plastic bag. I've still got the packs. Best Before 8 2 2004 L87639There are many more sweets from my childhood that elude my memory but once in a while they pop in there and ooooooh! the memories of childhood. We had the best days compared to todays poor kids. Even their sweets have no excitement to them.Oh! another memory... Sweet Tobacco - Strands of sugar/coconut and in a little white packet with a ship on it, folded just like todays 12.5g Tobacco.Hobo's, Bazooka Joes, Black Jacks, Fruit Salad, UFO's (Rice paper filled with Sherbert).Cabana Bars - Chocolate covered Coconut and cherry filling.I could probably go on all night.By the way, I'm only 40.

Roger in Winchester
Great sweet shop in nearby New Forest sell most nostalgia type sweets (including Tiger Nuts and Liquorice Root - we called it Spanish Root back in the 60's). I remember a very hard sweet that had string thru it and you looped it around one finger on each hand, twisted it then pulled the string thus getting the thing to continually spin in alternate directions at high speed. At the end you had a very hard sweet to suck on.... great fun.

Karen
Crispets, with the word stamped on each one, sweet potatoes, which had a small plastic toy inside, McCowan's Selection Box on Christmas day(especially the egg and milk caramel), chocolate tools made from cheap chocolate which had a great taste, Fry's Milk and Plain sandwich(Think the milk one had a blue wrapper and the plain had a red one- both were divine !).Bourneville chocolate in thin bars, with little rectangular pieces which you could break up and make last for ages. Coffee crunch sweets which were sold loose from a jar.

Vickie

victor holbrook
last year my daughter found horlicks tablets on sale in singapore! apparently they are made in malaysia and someone in america has them for sale i would love to know where to buy the hard genuine liquorice sticks (they cost a ha'penny in 1959, and were wrapped in liquorice leaves) nearest taste is lion liquorice gums (no aniseed in them thank goodness)thoughts- liquorice must still be available as lion use it for these! Can anyone remember when victory v gums contained chloroform? wow! recently visited the british lolly shop in queentown nz and got some old favourites from glass jars. there is a website called britishlollyshop but yahoo cant find it- maybe the spelling is slightly different.

Ray Kerr
Opal Toffees: I did not dream these up - circa 1965. I can remember the TV ad: "Wotcha chewin'?"; "Opal Toffees"; "Opal don't make toffees"; "They do now". Help me out on this one - they were not around for as long as Opal Fruits (Starburst) or even Opal Mints (Pacers) but I can definitely remember them!

rob
please bring back bovril flavoured crisps

Les
Terry's Oliver Twist chocolate - hard and dark. Caley's Cuba - a roll of chocolate covered coconut chocolate cubes that disappeared when Castro arrived. Milk chews (2 a penny), Black Jacks and Fruit Salads (4 a penny), Refresher Chews lemony and fizzy. Anyone remember Sonnets? - eclair like toffees of many flavours available by the quarter pound or by the roll. Heavily advertised but still disappeared quite quickly. Rowntrees gums - liquorice, butterscotch, blackcurrant or fruit - made a change but done a bunk! A whole host of Spangles flavours plus Weekend Assortment and Newberry Fruits. Whirligiggs, liquorice sandwiches, Chicago bars, everlasting caramels (pulled out my filling). The nostalgia is endless.

Debbie
My Favourites - Space Dust, Fizz Bombs, Splicer Bars mmmmmmmmm, Goldrush Chewing Gum, sherbert pips and little coloured fizzy triangular things that i cant remember the name of, bring them all back x x x

I had virtually decided I must have imagined Aztec bars as no-one I know remembers them! When one appeared on the 30 years Swap Shop celebration the other night on TV I let out a shriek of excitement and ran to get my Dad to show him the 'proof' on the screen!! I should have known some Radio Lancashire listeners would know not only Aztecs but also Ice Breakers. Anyone remember the luscious Midnight Mint choc-ices with the owl on the wrapper?? I loved those too!

pauline

That yummy sweet tobacco was made of shredded coconut and cinnamon sugar. I remember stuffing my mouth completely full of it. I also loved those sweetie bead necklaces on elastic that you could wear and eat at the same time. Rainbow sherbet, Rosey apples, pineapple chunks, potato puffs and lattice crisps.

David
Old English and Acid Drop Spangles, MB Bars, Lucky tatties (potatoes), Five Boys, Aztec Bars, mmmmm... Hey you guys - you can still get lots of the things listed here - Caramac, flying saucers, space dust,cherry lips. etc. Does anyone remember a sweet (bought loose I think) which was shaped like a small cube, had soft toffee on the inside and an outer crisp candy coating in different light colours?

sue Oatham

Lesley Walker
Dolly mixtures made by squirrel confectionery ..so much nicer than the ones you get today, and of course gob stoppers.....

Ramsbottom Sweet Shop
Nice to see people are still looking for the old traditional sweets. My wife and I run a Traditional sweet shop in the heart of Ramsbottom Village (Steam Trains passing through every weekend, and alll through December - Santas Special). We sell all of your favourites including sarsparilla sweets and drinks (Cordial and fizzy version). Traffic light lollies a great favouriite with the kids. Most of the list people are requesting are still avalable. Five boys are no longer made by Fry's. Of the Top Ten, Spangles aren't made any more, Texan bars recently made a come back, for a limited period only and have since been stopped. Toffos are still available, as are Anglo Bubbly, Space Dust (Equivalent is Fizzwizz or Sparx), Flying saucers and Cherry lips/Floral Gums made by Squirrel (Label only - previous manufacturers of your Favourite Dolly Mixtures, now taken over). Most of the sweets have a slight difference to the original taste due to EU regulations asking for particular ingredients to be removed from the recipe. Most of our elderly customers act as our tasters, reflecting on how they remember the original sweets. What my wife and I are trying to give back, is the nostalgia of the original sweet shop, the smell of all the sweets as you walk in, the old fashioned brass till (that the children love to play on, asking what 2d means? Another nostalgia trip in the shop is Tin toys (Spinning Tops, Robots) and wood toys - toys built to last, that are future collectibles. I remember going to the sweet shop for my dad every other night for tobacco and quarters of sweets. I used to spend all my allowance on beechnut chewing gum. We still have a machine from my child hood, but alas you cannot get the chewing gum any more - or win the chance of any extra packet every now and again, Still kept the old 1d piece to put in the slot machine. You usually gauge the age of the shopper by the sweets that they remember.

Linda Archbold
Kayli and spanish - my Grandma used to post it out to us when we lived abroad - gorgeous soft sherbet and hard bitter liquorice - where can I get it now???

Jo Calvert
I'm with Sarah B, where are the horlicks tablets!!!! They were great.

Colin
Lucky Bags;Kali lumps; sticky lice; sweet cigarettes; snowballs (2d each);Triple bars (milk, white & dark chocolate?);Mojos were 2-a-penny & Fruit salad 4-a-penny I recall;Pear drops; Iced Poles; Jubbleys & broken biscuits. I am from Liverpool & as a child used to visit family & friends in Kendal.When I was once asked "Do you want a toffee?" I replied in the negative, as I never particularly liked toffee.Imagine my chagrin when a tube of fruit gums or the like was passed around. In Kendal all sweets were "toffees". I soon learned !!
