Riley's chocolate toffee rolls.

[Ken4155]

Sarsaparilla tablets - yum yum :-)

[mallyh]

cinder toffee
cough candy

[SlackAlice]

Barley sugars, lemon sherbet and Mars bar. Because of their high sugar levels they are "banned" for me.

[ponkle]

Sherbert dips

I love sniffing out humbugs.

[ToraToraTora]

blackjacks, used to get 4 for 1p when I was a saucepan and they had a picture of a golliwog on them.

Floral gums

[JJ109]

Old fashioned mint humbugs (small brown ones that came in a tin)

[jazzyjen]

White mice. I know it wasn’t real chocolate, but hey!

[pastafreak]

They seem disgusting to me now...pink shrimps and other equally rubbery sweets

[Prudie]

Chewing nuts (small balls of toffee covered in cholate)

[Jackdaw33]

You got 4 Blackjacks for 1d. 1p would have got you 9 or 10.

[masterchef]

A caramel flavoured candy stick with chocolate up the middle

[Dagman]

Coconut tobacco, like stringy coconut covered in sugar, came in a red packet.

[tiggerblue10]

Cola cubes and those cigarette sweets, can't remember what they were called. Not sure if they were the sweets that had the tattoo transfers but I loved those too.

[LadyCG]

Palma violets, fizzy fish and cola bottles were top of my list.

I was rather partial to a pink shrimp too.

But I'd give any of those up for a bag of Pickled Onion Space Raiders.

Sharps toffees. Was at school with the daughter of Mr. Sharp. Lot of freebies

[chelle7272]

Bon bons and army & navy sweets
Chocolate limes
