My mam had to ban me from eating sherbet fountains as I would suck the sherbet up through the straw and immediatley choke on the dust - every time I just wouldn't learn!
Also she told the man in the shop not to sell me bazooka joe's as i put loads in my mouth once then pulled it out in a really long string and wrapped it round my head.
- one skin head later the gum was removed, and I've never touched it since!

My brother once up-ended a container of glucose into his mouth and almost choked as a result. The fool.

Did Revels become something else or can you still get them??

Loved Golden Cup!!!

I think you can still get Fry's but not by Fry's any more...

Anyone else noticed that Cadbury's have taken the nasty slithery coffee creams and strawberry creams out of the Roses selection? Unfortunately, they've also removed my favourites, Bournville miniatures.

I think Golden Cup got rebranded. Did it become Galaxy Caramel or am I mixing my multinationals?

I think revels are still around - I keep thinking of the advert on TV of the china mand and english man naming the flavours at the table, like playing Russian roulette (or that's what I thought it was like)

Revels are definitely still here - saw them in Sainsbury's just yesterday.

Golden cup - one of my favourites - so sweet it used to hurt my teeth - but, could do with one now - I know it has been rebranded but not sure what

Do you still get juicy fruit chewing gum?

Condensed milk - you can still get it, but I can no longer eat it by the tin.
Like Wagon wheels, tastes devne but makes me chuck.

Dulce de leche is even better - now, that's something you couldn't get when I was a sprog.

You get a low calorie version of condensed milk in Sainsbury's but it's awful - to really appreciate it you need the real full fat mega calorie stuff.

I was craving fruit and nut bars this morning but that's been overtaken by condensed milk...."must not go by the shop on the way home must not go by the shop on the way home"

silly question: you get fruit and nut, you get whole nut but why don't you get whole fruit? (I know you get choccy raisins but they're a poor substitute to a chunky bar of chocolate) - I reckon I could quit my job and "invent" whole fruit and hopefully retire on the profits - retiring at 25, now that would be good!!!

is space dust the same as popping candy?

Pink Panthers were like magical dream bars - fantastic idea, but coated your teeth with god knows what and always left you feeling a bit sicky.
anyone in yorkshire got info on roocrofts nut milk squares? - bought once on a trip to sylvia plaths grave and never matched.
