    I’ve tried most of the sweets in these shops that sell everything, 90% don’t taste anything like the originals, so you need to just let your brain wander and forget the taste of the bland s hit you are eating <laugh>

    Its all on @FellTop to decide the top 10, but I'd be disappointed if Liquorice Allsorts weren't in. <cheers>

    Spangles, particularly the old English flavoured packet,
    Spanish gold,
    Fry's 5 centres,
    Texan bar,
    Sasparilla tablets obviously,
    Fizz bangs, or was it fizz bombs?
    Tootie fruities,
    Red sugar covered marshmallows things with blob of green icing type stuff on top corner, no idea of name,
    Flying saucers,
    Pineapple cubes,
    Red liquorice string things, bootlaces?
    Edinburgh rock,
    Sort of hard candy flat squares, raised edges, orange or blackcurrant flavoured I think.
    Going mad trying to remember these things, think I'll lie down for a bit.
