The old "toffee shops" were great.
Mint humbugs.
Lemon bon bons.
Uncle Joes mintballs.

cherry lips

fruit salads

custards & creams

black jacks

cola cubes

;)

I always thought cherry lips tasted like soap

you can still get the space dust, my lad came home with some the other day...i tried some on my tongue and was immediately 13yr old again....i ended up nicking the packet off him and retreated to the corner of the room to reminisce ;)

lol :-) Was it in a black packet and tasted the same as it used to though?

Think I answered my own question re the Fireball sweets. Just googled it. They were Jawbreaker fireballs. Ive tried those Jawbreakers since though, and they are nothing like how they used to be. Neither are midget gems or Waggon wheels. Nowhere near the size!
