  3. Question Sticky Thread Sticky: Defunct sweets?

    During the mid 1960's Iam sure whilst on holiday in Cornwall that I bought a bag of Mintesers. does anyone else recall these? I seem to recall they were in a green bag instead of the red ones you get maltesers in. Or is my memory playing tricks<

  5. Captain Scarlet Bars............

  6. Oodles

    Anyone remember these sweets from the mid 70s? They were basically tiny gobstoppers in different colours but they weren't fruity or minty flavoured.

  8. Candy floss at the circus

    When I was five, I was taken to the circus for the first time. During the interval, I was given candy floss. I found it revolting. It’s the only time I’ve ever been to a circus, but I remember very little of what happened in the ring: only that disgusting pink stuff. Thirty years later, I...

    I can't remember for the life in me what these sweets were called, though I remember the packaging quite well. It was a grey segment shaped plastic container like a piece of cheese. It had a rubber tail attached to it. I think there was a flap for the sweets to come out. They were cylindrical...
