Question

that take you & what memories does it make you recall?

Answer 1

Rhubarb n custard boiled sweets, and sometimes the equally yummy strawberries n cream version.. YUM!

Answer 2

Yeah I liked those chalky little sweets and lollies, and all sorts of horrid chewy stuff.
I can't really remember the names though.

It just reminds me of childhood in general, and not being afraid to eat stuff that fell on the floor, ew! lol

oh we had penny sweets, milk bottles, cola bottles, fried eggs, big red sugary blobs, lips, zig zags, these little bits of chocolate in a coloured foil tins etc.
GOBSTOPPERS lol! ice cream in a plastic cone with a ball of chewing gum at the bottom
flying saucers (sherbert) lovehearts (with no e-mail me! lol), paper money,

chocolate cigarettes in replica packets!

most of them taste disgusting or tasteless to me now.
