January 13, 20224 yr Will now be Mini-Gems. What about Freak-Gems, why will they remain as such? Like Stephen Merchant, Richard Osman and Peter Crouch don't have feelings? One rule for one I think.
January 13, 20224 yr Made to stink those bad boys - and stuck to your school jumper. A favouirite trick was to make them smaller in the bag by scrunching them up and then pouring them over some poor sod's head.
January 13, 20224 yr Author My objection is the substitution of liquorice for blackcurrant. You can't buy Puffs anymore, I always suspected they were a by product resold. You also can't buy Quarterbacks or those alien shaped ones that only came in pickled onion flavour.
January 13, 20224 yr Went to school with a lad who used to scrunch up his bag of puffs and then add some water to them to make a kind of slurry which he then half drank/half scooped into his mouth. Dirty cunt.

Burton's made Fish n Chips and the harder to find Chicken n Chips - however they were biscuits not crisps. As an aside did anyone else buy a Kit-Kat that was just chocolate - like winning the lottery that. Wasn't there a 'flavour and shake' once - crisps? You never see curry crisps either these days, Walkers did a balti one but their crisps are shite, I blame Gammy toe Lineker and his sleazy brother. Edited January 13, 20224 yr by Youri McAnespie
January 13, 20224 yr Thinking about it he was always being sick and the older more cynical me now wonders if he was actually making fake vomit to get out of stuff. Not thought about him or it for probably nigh on 40 years so never considered it before.

They existed - the chicken ones in the bag were chicken shaped and the chips were chips shaped, I didn't imagine it, I had high blood pressure at 9 because of them.

You can all of those in the food bit of Home Bargains. Kids love the Fish and Chips (as do I) My Dad still buys the Salt and Shake ones.

It's like the Reboot of Ringos, they used to be flat and powdery and potato based - then they bring them back as a bastard maize effigy. Wankers. Texans why discontinue them, apart from juvenile tooth loss.

I used to put some vinegar in Salt n Shake as a kid, and extra salt. Edited January 13, 20224 yr by Youri McAnespie

Mate of mine has a traditional sweet shop, i help him out sometimes, I have to wear an apron, weigh the sweets into a paper bag from glass jars and work an "open all hours" till. The punters queue outside and he can do a couple of grand on a good Saturday, Some of the old sweet manufacturers are still out there outside the supermarkets, they're becoming a bit like craft breweries. There's one in particular in Sheffield who do proper Lemon Sherberts.
