Cadburys milk chocolate is my all time favourite.

I do like fudge and at Christmas I never eat strawberry or coffee chocs.

theres our answer then BrummieHelen from Keith

we cant get them oh bugg*r lol

Spangles were discontinued in the early eighties, and briefly reintroduced in 1994, exclusively in Woolworths outlets in the UK. There are many nostalgic references to them from children who grew up with them. Spangles are associated with the 1970s and they, like Space Hoppers or the Raleigh Chopper, have become shorthand for lazy nostalgia for the time, as in the phrase "Do you remember Spangles?"[1][2]

Today the Tunes brand is the only remaining relation of the Spangles brand, sharing the shape and wrapping of the original product. In the UK, Tunes no longer have the Spangles style packaging, and they are now lozenge-shaped.

oh i loved sweet tobacco
my teeth never though,
allbran looks like it tho now, lol

oh yes BrummieHelen forgot the sweet tobacco of course it would be banned now with the smoking theme lol

Wenders, I loved them just been trawlling the net to see if they are available anywhere but they aren't. We ought to start a campaign to bring them back.

Anyone remember sweet tobacco? that's available of the quarter of sweets website.

I can't wait Helen.Wouldn't be great if we could still buy some? My tummy has gone all funny now just thinking back to that time.I can still see untwirling the plastic wrapping from the top of the sticks .The inside of my cheeks have gone all tingly too at the memory lol...(mouth cheeks I may add)

Jane and Christina,
I've just emailed the website A Quarter of sweets to see if they can help with the name of the sweets we desire. Will let you know when I get anything back from them.

Edit......but do they still make them????

Dear KingKeith

Hello

This is a nice memory thread!

My favourite sweet was a bar of fudge made with butter and full cream.

It cost 12p!! I think the make was Callard and Bowser.

Sometimes, I eat a small piece of dark chocolate.

Best wishes
