Off Topic Your retro ‘go to’?

I wasn’t actually thinking of those ones

 

To be fair one of my favourite things as a kid was buying a 1/4 lb bag of lemon sherbert and a liquorish stick.

Not those godawful tubes of dry powder "sherbert", but a bag of sherbert, filled from one of the big jars.

 

And a 1/4 of bonbons.
All flavours.

 

I swear when I was a kid a Curly Wurly was like a step ladder.

Now they fit in the palm of my hand.

 

Rolos were good

 

Yes!

And Munchies. I'm sure there were mint ones as well as the toffee ones.

 

Yeah munchies were class.

 

A 1/4 of wine gums from a jar were really good as well. Back in the day when they weren’t all bothered about what was good for you and just stuck things in that made them taste delicious.

 

Yeah munchies were good, but as I remember, a premium price.

 

Can you still get those candy sticks in a cardboard box? White cylinder shaped sticks.... They were good.

 

Why arn't Flying Saucers on there

 

They're not real.

 

Since when has reality ever stopped people on here?

 

They were when I was a youngster,admittedly that was some time ago,but they were lush,you just could'nt play a trumpet after eating one

 

If on the other hand you mean from outer space,as I've said before I was taken up on a space ship back in the 70s,where I was probe and an alien device was inserted in me that changes traffic lights to red when ever I approach them,damn you aliens,damn you

 

Marathon. Bought a pack on Saturday

 

I was questioning myself, so Googled:

Snickers came first. The Snickers bar was originally introduced in the US in 1930, while the Marathon bar, which is the same chocolate bar, was introduced in the UK in 1968 and later renamed Snickers in 1990.
