Not banned in the UK, but they got banned in Ireland, Canada and the US. You can only get them in retro candy shops now - the Daily Mail would do its nut if they went on sale in newsagents. If you want a blast from the past go here: http://www.handycandy.co.uk/candy-classics-classic-candy-c-6_88.html Had a party a couple of years ago and ordered loads of retro sweets from here. Everyone loved it
I just smoked cigars when I couldn't get the sweets. Bizzy Lizzys. **** knows where they've gone. Can't find hem anywhere....
