    Fruit salad. Were they 2 for a penny? I think they were.

    And those candy cigarettes in the realistic looking little packets.
    Imagine trying to market them today <laugh>

    Black Jacks are vile. Yuck!

    I'm terrible for eating sweets (I'm a diabetic). I love Wham Bars, strawberry Bon Bons, and sherbert Dip Dabs. Yum!

    Unless you go to the seaside you cannot find coffee ice cream, I used to love that with strawberrys.

    Back to respecting the thread, Galaxy was always a nice chocolate, not too popular nowadays.
