This doesn't even make sense you old fart. When you see modern words like twerk just leave it to us younguns yh
When you see 'old fashioned' words like 'punctuation' ...try applying... you complete waste of a turkey baster squirt ...
Yeah funnily when I looked up the black jacks, it mentioned Robertson's as well (not sure whether they were collectables). Can't say I ever took an interest or saved any of them, I thought the dolls were quite gross looking things. I used to like the Bazooka Joes...I can't remember if this was part of the wrapper or a separate piece of paper inside the wrapper... please log in to view this image I'm sure you could collect them for free gifts, as in the example above, not that I ever did send off for anything, well I don't think I did anyway.
Do you remember Jamboree Bags? If memory serves, you got a sweet, a joke, a crappy plastic toy, and a sherbert dip all in the one bag.
Yes I do mate, I think your recollection of what was in it is correct. Looking back now, I can't for the life of me think why they were popular, but they were lol. Then I suppose that's like now and why people spent a fortune on that drink called Prime. That strange human trait of wanting something you don't need.
We used to sell them ... my parents took over an off-licence business when I was about 3 years old - so 1963 - the old girl kept it going until I returned from Uni - most profitable part of the business was the sweets - shop was on a corner and one big window was just full of the big jars of mainly boiled sweets ... loads of names no longer made - Spangles - Spangles Old Fashioned - Aztec bars - Old Jamaica dark choc bars - candy and chocolate ciggies
The Old Jamaica dark chocolate is made under the Cadbury Bournville name now, along with the run and raisin version... Old version... please log in to view this image New version.... please log in to view this image
