When I was little used to love an iced bun, but then realised it was a hotdogs roll with icing on so felt cheated from other bakery options

God, I don't know if I can remember exactly. 🤔 Probably something like Smiths Scampi and Lemon Fries.

Still love them now, to be fair.

I used to love a candy whistle, much to my parents disgust!

Those jelly sweets which were shaped like Marvel characters

And the white candy sticks which I used to pretend I was smoking a cigarette

I’d eat anything bad for me back then. Chocolate, jelly sweets (particular faves were cola/fizzy cola bottles, beer bottles, midget gems, fizzy cherries, red laces), chomps, whams. Anything I wasn’t allowed at home.
