Used to love Lilt, with the totally tropical taste. Can you still get it?

Wow...what a blast from the past. Just had a memory of playing with these before eating and my fingers ending up with all dog hair and shit stuck to them from it

Used to love Lilt, with the totally tropical taste. Can you still get it?

Yes but it just doesn't taste the same as it did 20 years ago or, pre boozing days.

How have Kola Kubes not been mentioned yet?
Or frosties? 10p a roll of fizzy chewy goodness

Toffos were brilliant, loved the variety flavours and the original.

54321 had a great advert

both good shouts

 

[whp.blue]

Cresta drinks

American Civil War cards and bubblegum.

Omg. I loved them. Obsessed actually.

My brother still has the complete set. Unbelievable artwork on them and very gory showing a spy being hung and people dying in gruesome battle scenes. He also has the complete set of dollars that came in the packet and they still have that distinctive smell of the little pink rectangle of chewing gum.

You may also recall some other sets, Mars Attacks and Man From Uncle for example.

Seeing them now really transports you back.

For anyone who liked liquorice root, try Twinings Liquorice teabags. Leave them to stew and they taste just like liquorice root only without the twiggy element. I have a cup or two every day.

Mint Cracknel

Barr American Cream Soda and Corona Limeade
