Well there's only one answer You can still buy these things. Now known as candy sticks rather than sweet cigarettes and they don’t have red food colouring on one end to indicate the ‘lit’ end. I also remember at Christmas getting a chocolate “smokers’ kit” comprising of a pipe, a couple of Cuban cigars, cigarettes, etc., in that shit cooking type chocolate.

That Bluebird toffee in foil trays you could actually buy little hammers for. Highland Toffee and Wham! Bars were also apt to remove fillings and/or stretch into a two foot long strand from hand to gob. In the case of Whams one never knew if a crunchy bit was the embedded fizzers or a bit of amalgam from your teeth. Texan bars were great. 'Hold on there bald Eagle, whilst I get my Texan bar....'

Youri McAnespie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) With the smiley faces? Dubble Bubble - aka Germoline bubbly..? There was one bubblegum, came in flat sheets like spiggy, that came with excellent detailed tattoos, unlike the shite smiley ones. Think they had a pirate on the (flat) packet. Only one shop top of Calvert Road sold 'em. Beech Nut and PK spiggy half-packs if one was brassic? As an aside, one summer in the eighties, does anyone remember loads of white rubber circles appearing overnight on all the streets? About the size of a crumpet diameter-wise about as thick as a stick of chewing gum? It was almost like a van had drove around tossing them out the back... We went around collecting them for some reason. I made my pile into a shite 'deck' of cards. Possibly the shittest thing to make cards out of, crumpets would've been more shuffle-able. We made our own entertainment back then, simpler times. Edited March 4, 2021 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 6, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hard-boiled sweets which, part way through, developed a crevice from one side to the other just wide enough to amputate a bit of tongue. Peardrops were particularly viscous bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
