Premier League of Sweets

Never liked them for some reason.

 

There’s a coupe of old school sweets shops near me, one in Lyndhurst, which does all these sweets

and the other in Lymington by the quayside,

might have to adventure that way

 

Another gob rammer
Jelly tots

 

Anybody mentioned Opal Fruits

 

Thinking back my favourite when I was a kid was Jelly beans

 

Sacco's was a big part of my childhood, Carl is keeping the flag flying! Fortes too - how lucky to have two class ket shops to visit before going to the Fairworld picture house. Happy says.

 

If sacco's didn't sell it, it didn't exist.
What a shop that was in its day, never seen so many sweets. He must have got sick of kids coming in for 2oz of loads of different sweets though. You could walk out with loads of those little white paper bags of sweets, and spend next to nowt.
Used to play snooker in the back of Fortes, the tables were crap though.

 

Going to add strawberry laces, the fizzy kind and ring pops.
But think ring pops were a 90s/00s thing

 

They were indeed, push pops were the predecessor to the ring pop in the 90s.

Anyone remember the jelly monster things you used to get from.the corner shop...something like this with a foil back....



Shout out to the Golf ball (1p) and Terror Eye(5p) chewing gum

 

I still pop in to Sacco's occasionally. Everything still priced by the 100g / 4oz, but you just ask for a punds worth and he weighs it out.

 

Football chews!

 

Gobstoppers

 

Sour apples

 

Dolly mixture

them candy necklace things the lasses bought , each piece could be bitten off

 

Aniseed balls
Those wrapped spearmint chews
fish n chips milk chocolate pieces- the chips were crinkle cut
Pez sweets and the funky dispensers

and refreshers on a stick was of course a drumstick!

right. I’m cannon up bed before I end up down the corner shop on a ket mission

 

And fired at unsuspecting victims in the playground....

 

I love toffee, these were a favourite when I was a kid.
Dainty toffee's and Highland toffee.

 

These were a special treat

 

All of these are being kept in fridge though aren't they? Please tell me they are....

 

Hope you're pleased Felltop man. This thread stirs so many childhood memories I'll be lucky if I don't need therapy before it's done. Can hardly believe there are so many sweets I now remember but hadn't thought of for 50 years. Incredible. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
