Are you lot still eating them sweets lol

I posted on here this morning and I think it has gone!!!!!.It was about twisted barley sugar sticks with chocolate that went down through the middle.I wanted to know if you can still get them.
There is one deleted post which I think was mine and it wasn't me that did it lol

It must have been someone who doesn't like sweets who did it Jane.
Also I wanted to add Coffee Creams to the list of sweets, I love them but they seem to have gone out of favour as I never see them now since woolworths pick n mix disappeared

they all sound good to me

My Mum just loved Turkish Delight,and Cadbury Flakes.When not eating them it would be coconut mushrooms and those liquorice whirls with the jelly aniseedy sweet in the middle of the coil.

As halloween is coming up, I thought I would mention Toffee Apples, they are lovely and they must be healthy with all that fruit

Does anyone remember 'Coffee Crisp'? it came in a gold wrapper.

Jane... I remember the sticks you are talking about... but as I remember, the one with the chocolate down the middle was a hard, crunchy pale brown coloured chocolatey twisty stick, whereas the barleysugar twirly stick was all barleysugar, & all golden !....................
I`m sure you will know what i`m on about !!
I used to like banana chews...they were yellow & brown, & I let them get soft before i ate them ! mmmmmm.....

Used to love sherbet lemons and sherbet dabs. Lemonade powder licked off the palm of your hand! Now I eat the occasional Sugarfree toffee, from the large chemist, and sugarfree or diabetic dark choc, one square only.

Jane I too remember those twisted sticks and like Christina said i don't think they were barley sugar but more like a long Werthers sweet filled with chocolate, possibly it was a butterscotch twist.

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

Oh Christina and Helen.You are the only 2 people who have ever known what I was on about with those twisty sticks with chocolate going through.I have had a good long think and yes the barley stick one was a bit different.I know I spent my thruppenny bit every saturday on those sticks.They lasted for ages

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

Thank you all for making this a nice thread

Thank you
