The wrappers in Quality Street

[veggiechicken]

Even I remember those ^^^ You could buy a packet of 5 in the school sweet shop and hang around on the street corner, having a drag. Had to give up "smoking" after the 11+ 'cos the school was too far from the sweetshop

I have a poem somewhere called, "Remeber When"... shall i find it and post it up?

Do you remember candy cigarettes, them were the days. puffing on a bit of sugary goodness.

Sugar and substitute smoking! You couldn't do that now, tobacco and sugar the 2 greatest Devil substances known to man!

Spangles, there's a blast from the past, they had apple flavour ones

[bearded bloke]

Polo's now there's a con, make you pay for the hole they do.

Ahhhhh, Polo the sweet with the less fattening centre

You can still buy them, they're not that accurate (don't think they ever were that realistic, remember them being thin) - Candy Sticks (Candy Cigarette) at oldestsweetshop.co.uk the best retro sweets online!

You could get chocolate ones an all but, they tasted nasty.

My OH has a sweet tooth and one of the kids bought him a nostalgia pack of sweets...they got the candy cigarettes, bubbly bubble gum, fruit salads and space dust. I'm sure he's eaten half of them already

I curse those choccy manufacturers, bring back the opal fruits and the marathon though I didn't like that much...! nuts and chocolate are food of the devil.

.

Peanuts and chocolate are definitely yuck. In fact I wish manufacturers wouldn't put them in virtually everything nutty. I like peanuts but not in anything sweet.

[Dorothy rouse]

Nuts and chocolate, in any form, are the best thing ever!

How about popping candy? Its sometimes called different things but its the stuff when you put it on your tongue it gives a popping sensation.
Use to have a dog once that loved to eat the stuff.

Well, I guess that's another newbie who won't return....................

The OP's question was answered, more or less, in the 2nd post and expanded on in post 8.
I think the conclusion is we don't know what has happened but we wouldn't risk putting the wrappers in the compost.
Now, does anyone have any purple ones they don't want

I have a box of it in front of me. A friend said she loved it but couldn't find any. I had some in a drawer as left over stock from a business.

Ooh, Quality Street. A friend of mine calls them 'Quantity Street.' Tee hee!

I like the blue coconut ones best. But then, I like anything nutty. Which is why I like you lot...
