Personally a fan of the "citrus"ones. Bloody wine guns do a bag of red and blacks. I'd prefer a bag with anything but the red and black

I could never find those.

Kola Kubes for me - but to be honest we were generally too poor for a quarter so it was the penny tray for me.

 

[KazakhToon]

Rhubarb and custard, or aniseed balls

 

[Seabass]

I like milk bottles the proper old school ones with dust on.

Sherbet Lemons and Cola Cubes also good!

I had to go for 20p mixes.

The 10p ones had a white mouse, sherbet saucer, one of them ****s Womble likes... I'd be left with a 7p mix.

Old bag over the road used to give me 10p for going to get her a paper from the shop every day.
