The No1 penny sweet AKA pick n mix

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Aniseed balls. All these were 1/2p until the half pence was scrapped and the sweet selling cunts doubled the price overnight instead of doing 2 for a penny.

I'm not a real Jinn you know

But I am curiois to what your request is

(1) To turn the clock back a year and save my wife from dying of cancer.
(2) To see City win the Champions League in my lifetime.
(3) To have unlimited wishes.
I'm not greedy though, so just the first one please.

I know they were tuppence each but park drive were my favourite, and that included a single match as well

Fruit salads.

A special mention for that chewing gum that came in a little sack and looked like gold nuggets.
We had to walk to Woodhouses to the only shop we knew of that sold it.

I think it was called Gold Rush. I remember it coming in a cloth bag but then moving to plastic. Flanagans would be where I got it from.

Bit of a deviation from the thread but does anyone remember a strange fizzy drink available in the 70's called Cresta? Looking back, it was probably concocted using a particularly unhealthy combination of harmful chemicals. TV commercials for it featured a polar bear wearing sunglasses whose catchphrase was 'It's frothy man'.

It's frothy man

Fizz bombs all the way
