Do you miss any?

[Bigmallly]

Following on from a idea (thanks Wayne), I thought it would be nice to reminise a little. Personnaly I miss spangles. What were your favourites?

You're welcome dude.

Not entirely sure if I miss the sweets per se, but I have fond memories of buying sweets from the vending machine after swimming.

Rainbow Drops, Sherbert Dib Dabs, Double Dips (the one with the lolly you could eat the whole thing), Popping Candy, Wham Bars, Jawbreakers (especially the Sweet & Sour and Fireball ones).

We used to be able to buy sweets from the ToniBell guy that included a cool badge of your favourite popstar. Early 80's - but I can't for the life of me remember what they were called. The badges were black plastic and had the popstar's name in shiny silver, gold or various other shiny colours.

I remember those black plastic badges! I had a Dexys Midnight runners one. Didnt they come with the Wham bars? Not sure though

[OverWyreGrower]

The Spira - twirls etc are just not as good!

No, I'm sure they came in a little box - bit like a matchbox and it was bubblegum I think. This was almost 30 years ago though and I have trouble remembering stuff LadyWayne told/asked me 30 mins ago.

Is moon dust popping candy??? Northpaul

You can still get it in wilko's. I love it an so did our old collie when we were kids.

Wasn't a hugee sweet person but NERDS watermelon and someother flavour in a double ended box.

[HeyWayne]

Northepaul Aldi do little chocolate Easter eggs with strawberry moondust in - very exciting!
A friend once fed moondust to her horse - who made some very funny faces about it!

[elsie-scot]

can still get a type of moondust, seen it on posh cookery show

another Texan bar fan, think as it was one of the first tv adverts I saw and remembered

spangles

10p mixes, when you could get 20 1/2p chews, or the difficult choice of buying a sweet that cost 2p or not
