Re: What was your favourite??

I always loved, Cadbury’s Whole Nut, Caramac, Munchies and Crunchies!

I got the first edition of the Bunty comic and it had a free ladybird ring in it!
I liked the Four Marys too but my favourite was the ballet dancer, Moira Kent. She was always clasping her hands to her chin. My brother used to make fun and do an imitation of her to annoy me!

Re: What was your favourite??

My BIL worked for Fry's so I got lots of freebees, I think it was Aztec bars he developed, I didn't like them, it was supposed to be their version of Mars bar.
My favourite sweet was Ling's Turkish Delight, I don't think it's made now.
I'm partial to Haribo Super Mix or similar and Mint Crumbles but, I have to ration myself.

Great stuff for pulling out loose milk teeth too. Bite down hard on the toffee, wait a while then open your mouth quickly to remove the tooth then remove the tooth from the toffee.

Place tooth under pillow at night and in the morning retrieve my "I owe you sixpence" IOU.

Sherbet dabs that takes me back and those hard little sticks of Spanish...we put them in a bottle of water shook them up and made Spanish wine with them ...very chic
And a good laxative.

Liquorice sticks anyone? The wooden sticks (3 for a tanner) you could chew on for hours.

Wasn't there a version of Munchies that had a nut in the centre?

Loved Caramac too.

Aye, nice coconut based `confection`. They did a green coloured one too that was supposed to be Popeye's spinach.

Don't remember the green one. What about the sweet cigarettes, imagine those being sold to kids today.

I used to love those, probably why I became a smoker.

Liguorice Comfits. We used to pretend the red ones were lipstick and then our mums would slap us for looking like tarts
