The all-new 10p* bag of mixed sweets thread (*1982 prices)

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

This thread is as old as the hills, but hey, what isn’t on the forums these days!

I’m giving you 10p*, now run along to the newsagent and get yourself a little paper bag and fill it with a penny (or less - yes, I remember Mojo’s, 2 for 1/2p

) mix of your fave sweets!

What are you putting in?

(*1982 prices. Kids, I dunno, let’s call it 50p now?)

I’m definitely chucking in a few fruit salads and blackjacks, some foam strawberries and some cola bottles (with our without the sour sugar coating .. I’m not fussed) amongst others.

What are YOU having, Fabsters!?

Fizzy cola bottles, some dolly mixtures and chocolate jazzles.

A quick Google search reveals that a 1982 10p is 39p in today's money
