Welcome to Not606 Charlton @torchwood I've seen these (or something very like them) for sale in one of the supermarkets I visit. Never bought any though. Perhaps the amount of artificial stuff they have to put in them puts me off. I do like sour 'sweets' though.
Aniseed twists Cola bottles, large Black Jacks Fruit Salads These immediately come to mind as favourites.
No think it was called space dust or something like that ? - I liked drumsticks, merrymaid toffees and of course wine gums , fruit gums and midget gums although not allowed to call them that now due to short peoples feelings
I wonder what Black Jacks are called now Oh yessssss, wine gums are still lovely, particularly after being in a fridge for an hour.
American hard gums, hard not soft. Cola cubes and Refreshers, be it on a strip or the small rectangular things.
That’s it space dust. If you drink it with coke at the same time you risked your eye balls falling out
I'm surprised I have any teeth with the amount of aniseed balls I used to eat as a kid, those things were pretty hard but tasted great. Also icy cups, I'm not sure if they were called something different years ago, but this is what they look like https://sweetsdirect.co.uk/product/icy-cups/ - a lot of these sweets are hard to get now from local shops, all the corner shops with shelves stacked full of sweet tubs have mostly vanished.
Did you get Hivhland Toffee dahn ere? Toffee with a chocolate coating. Dentists loved it. Gobstoppers? Penny caramels?
Cola cubes used to lacerate my tongue, I was spitting blood for hours after. Lemon Bon Bon had so much sugar in them I’d attack my teacher. Liquorice torpedo were great at pretending you had black teeth. But the best sweet for getting attention was bazzoka joe and the free tattoo which most of the time went on my face. A teacher at our infants had loads of sweets which he gave away all the time but left suddenly after his house burnt down.
