[hammerman]

Screwball from the ice cream van.....seemed massive when i was a kid and come with a little plastic "shovel" to eat it with. And i'm sure they only cost 5p !!!!!!

[kazminx]

i dont remember them...what flavour?

[joby1]

I remember the screwball's from the icecream man, by the time you ate the icecream your chewy had lost it's colour.
I loved lager and lime lollyices
mojo's and spangles and bubbly chewy's and bazooka joes.

[kazminx]

god i forgot about spangles!!! sherbert dabs and gobstoppers too!

[Dollie]

jolly jelly ice lollies
'Fab' ice lollies covered in hundreds and thousands
Strawberyy Mivvy

.... and if you're over 40 - remember when yer mam used to send you to shop for a 'brick' - ice cream in a cardboard carton and the shopkeeper gave you free wafers !!

[Sozzie]

Anyone remember `Pacers` spearmint chews ?

[Iz66]

what about Cabanas? coconut type chocolate bar, bit like bounty!

[Iz66]

and if u really wanna go back in time, i remember Ice Breaker...chocolate bar with bits of green minty bits in it and it came in a silver foil!

[kazminx]

can you still buy mintolos and fry's chocolate creams? i recently bought a quarter of sweet peanuts and cherry lips!!

[Dollie]

Izz66 - yes Ice Breakers were gorgeous - they came in during 1971 - I remember because I spent my first Five Shiny New Pence on one - thats what they cost (5p) the equivelent of one old shilling.

[Iz66]

dollie! i thought i was the only one remembed Ice Breakers! they were fantastic...and i remember them being a big bar too...well i would have only been 5 at the time so everything seemed pretty big! you got a good memory to remember they came in 1971!

[joby1]

I never liked chery lips, they remind me of parma violets and taste of perfume to me.
My hubby remembers walnut whips, only cos his mum said they were for grownup's so he used to open them, eat the choccy leave the nut!

[Katie~77]

Going back to the 60's does anyone remember an ice lolly in a sort of triangular carton, we used to bite one corner off and it took ages to eat, it melted as you ate and you ended up drinking the last bit. I can't remember what they were called!

[ermintrude35]

horselady...they were called jublies or jubleys...

[redcrx]

i loved:
cider or cola lollies
pacers
spangles
quirks (anyone remember them???)
wham bars (theyre not the same now)
oh and drumstick lollies

[horselady]
