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....

OMG those jelly monsters! blast from the past!
 
me dad would get pontefact cakes from a sweetshop near Neville's Cross, or one on the way to see his family in Wheatly hill.

im sure fizzy cola bottles have been mentioned
Pontefract cakes taste like sh1te these days imo.
The liquorice was sourced from Yorkshire now I think it's Australian and they're bloody awful.
 
Bloody hell Smarties, another where you ram 20 in at once.

What a waster <laugh>
I used to spend hours laying them out in diferent paterns and eating the spares, gradually reducing them down to a ludo board . Simple pleasures.

Think Damien Hurst had similar ideas.

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.
What it is all about mate, memories from being a bairn. Love reading it all.
 
I love mints. Fox's glacier my all time favs.

My Dad reckons it is my Grandads fault. He died when I was a youngun so no real memories. But my Dad reckons I would run straight in the house jump on his knee and wouldnt go anywhere else until I had an extra strong mint. He always had a bag of them loose in the table next to his chair. He used to break a bit off one and give it to me, I was about 3 or 4 then.
