Do you remember the days when you could buy a 1/4 of sweets and those chocolate bars the shops just don't sell any more....and every one says how mars bars and wagon wheels used to be much bigger, so what do you miss or not seen in ages....

1/4 of bulls eyes please sir

Its amazing how when you were a child you really did feel you had the choice of the world when you had a 20 pence piece for your sweets, those brown paper bags and the anticipation and walks with friends home from school, why did we all ever have to grow up........flying saucers and the scrunching of faces from the fizz, happy days

" I'm always trying to describe them to the kids."

They had a tangy, fizzy taste and were soft when the box was opened fresh and went hard when old or near the bottom of the box.

They also made great fake teachers chalk!

Screeeech!

I bet if you licked the blackboard in my class you would taste them!
