Loved black jacks , tongue tongue tongue , they brought them out in a packet like chewitts for a while but not the same. And weren't fruit salads and black jacks absolutely awesome when they went a bit sticky so you had to work hard to open them

Yep I remember these , authentic flavour

They would certainly pull out a filling

Frosties cola flavour black jacks too. Ooooh I love fish & chips

Sherbert dip for me I think or Flying Saucers can't decide, love chocolate mice too, ohhhhhh so many to choose from

aww i love black jacks. butter balls are my fav all time sweet though

Sherbert dips We have a great friend who works in Swizzels Matlow at New Mills Derbyshire , the home of the sherbert dip and the refresher , use to get sweets by the bin bag full for the kids parties

I also love the proper fruit jellies with the liquid bit inside yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think it's these:

Anyone remember a chocolate bar called "Cabana" or summut like that (?) ... a milk choc and cocanut bar with bits of cherry in it

and savoury, Branigans - roast beef and mustard crisps , used to make yer eyes water they were so mustardy hot

I think these are still around Andy:

Refreshers and kola cubes

Milky ways they used to be with the chocolate nougaty filling and sugar mice with the string tails

Always used to have a bag of the fish n chips when I went to the football as a kid with a can of panda shandy

Wham bars!!

Caramac use to be a fav, we had some the other day and it just didn't taste the same.. I love a quarter of sweet peanuts all to myself..

the best sweet ever are strawberry & cream

Rhubarb & Custard

OMG!!! .... where Kathy ???

hate coconut , but I do remeber them , not seen myself or ages though

I think I have seen the Cabana bars in Tesco in the Oriental section or with the Polish foods.

I'm looking at everyones suggestions and thinking yeah I love them.......yeah I love them.....Yeah I love them. So I have come to the conclusion I love sweets

Steve try new salt and vinegar oddities Not as good as fish and chips but pretty close
