Answer 2

I used to love the huge gobstoppers that were giant aniseed balls sold at around 2 old pence each in the late 40's, they were for some reason not on the sweet ration and were more freely available. I used to sit in the Saturday Morning pictures for children, and one would last the whole time we were in there. We had competition to see whose could last the longest. The other memory was for the Barley Sugar Twists. The were about half inch in diameter and a foot long and were made in a spiral of Barley sugar. These to could be sucked at and lasted for ever or broken into bite size pieces. Cannot get either of these now.

Hi I used to like mojos lol and them green chew bars that you used to get off santa lol there were spearmint,I used to remember the old lucky bags that came in paper not foil or plastic, Spearmint pips, Chocolate bon bons but not the hard chewy ones the ones that are like the nibbles, there like big balls of nougat and have flour on them their divine.
I also used to like the sensation toffee sweets with chocolate mint inside, there are them swirl chewy sweets some where liqurice with a pink and yellow swirl in the middle.
