Nestlé Golden Cup, when I was younger if I had the choice of pick and mix or a Golden Cup, that would win out every time.

Stopped making them in the 90's though

I'm with you on the Golden Cup, you got the 2 sizes of bar, it was always a great day if I got the larger bar.

I loved space dust (popping candy). My mum banned me from having it after I dropped a whole pack on the floor and she tried to clean it up with a damp cloth. It was so funny it was popping all over the carpet.

I think the hoover would have done a better job.

I've recently discovered that Iceland do ice lollies / ice creams based on a load of these... the flumps, fruit salad and drumstick squashie ones are FIT.

I'm always worried stuff like that won't live up to the hype, but honestly they really really do! my treat drawer in the freezer is stocked up with them
