I had completely forgotten about rainbowdrops!!!  They were so nice!!  Anybody else remember millions??? The strawberry or raspberry flavoured ones were the nicest!!  And there was other wee sour sweets out of a wee box, I think they were called nerds or something?!

Anybody remember that 'spanish gold' stuff, it was quite the business alright.


Maybe I'm dreaming but was that the stringy stuff that looked a packet of roll your own tobacco?

Does anyone remember Dracula ice pops?  I've been told I made them up but I most definitely did not!!  Black ice lolly with a red fruity ice lolly centre combined wtih plain ice cream.

Feckit yessssssss, I do remember them.  Didn't HB make them along with the Joker, the vanilla icecream surrounded by orange/pineapple-flavoured "icing"?

What about Dentyne Chewing Gum?  Is it still around.

All this talk of sweets is killing me and my diet. Just after firing a bag of Skittles into myself.
