Youri McAnespie Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 What were those white and green striped ones - Pacers. You can still get munchies though they're called sommat else, their sister Mintola are also still about but are now snootily branded as mini After Eight chocolates. Can you still buy After Eights? I remember bizarrely there was a sterling silver miniature shopping trolley in the Argos catalogue designed to hold a box of After Eights - how chic.

leigh white Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 I was half expecting a load of tit pics to pop up in replies, but those spangles were fucking brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitestar Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 My grandma had a silver after eights holder, wasn't a shopping trolley just like a tray with shallow sides, used to come out at Christmas, as did the JPS that you could buy in a fancy round plastic pack. The JPS presentation pack would be placed in the centre of a coffee table or buffet. How sophisticated would we have looked??. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I had a JPS F1 car, a real one - couldn't get the bugger started though. I used to pilfer my mum and dad's cigs as a kid and flog them to mates who smoked. I never cared for them - I'd have an occasional King Edward cigar though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
