Oh yes...I am that old sod.
Remember Pacers? White and green striped chewy mint things?
Fruit salads, blackjacks, flying saucers (what WAS that stuff they were made out of? Was it actually paper?). Highland Toffee? Lasted all bloody night if you got it when you came out of school, and cost just 10p? Gold Bullion? Toffee in a bar held in a little foil tray. Space Dust, or Pop rocks, of course - explode your mouth and make your head feel like it was full of bees. Sherbet Dips (or Dabs as we called them) - Pointless little lolly on a stick that you dipped in one of two sachets of sherbert. Also Sherbert Fountain - paper tube full of sand-flavoured sherbert with a noxious stick of licourice sticking out of the top...
D'you remember Quattro? Weird four-fruit flavoured pop?
Cabana bars? Coconut and cherry, covered in chocolate, like an upmarket Bounty? Texans? Sherbert Pips - a bit sour, but lovely mad things. Jawbreakers, obviously - took a damn week to get through those things. Kola - or indeed pineapple Kubes.
Lot of bizarre stuff we used to eat...Damn...made myself nostalgic for Cabanas now...

I'm not sure I remember fuzzy felt but I certainly remember the others. I used to love Spangles and Opal Fruits made to make your mouth water. Marathon, now Snickers is still available. I think Opal fruits too?
What else? Slinky springs, Etch-a-Sketch, Watney's Red Barrel. Sure I could come up with LOADS more if I wasn't so tired but good question. :)

Do you remember the fizzy drink Quattro ..it was passion fruit flavoured i seem to recall. I also remember all the things you mentioned and the creator of Fuzzy Felt lived near to me in a village called Hedgerley in Buckinghamshire (Mrs Allen ...never did know her first name)

Texan bars. Sort of a hard caramel chocolate covered thing, which I loved all through my childhood but then they disappeared and I've never seen them since.
