Voted for Black Jack's, but it was a close run thing as I also loved liquorice pipes & torpedoes . Come to think of it I liked most of them apart from white mice
 
Went for the multi dimensional Jazzies after some consideration for the morish Pink Shrimp.

Quite liked these things as well. 'Pencils' they're called apparently.

I’m an FOC.
When I was a nipper black jacks and fruit salads were four a penny.
As were little black s***o bubble gums.
Strangely they are no longer available.
I remember mojos at eight for a penny shows my age too, but just found this online, must give it a try

You've missed some classic sweets off your list: sherbet lemons, rhubarb and custard, pear drops, fizzy pips, to name a few.
