[sugartastic]

There are loads of good online sweet shops. that sell all the old sweets and stuff you thought you could no longer buy. (I get my floral gum fix this way). Here's a good site which lists the best of them as a directory and is easy to link to the stores: www.sugartastic.co.uk

my gran&grandad used to have rosie apples

oh and if we went to granny and grandads they always gave us a mint imperial!

oh sweets!I choked many times on Spangles. I loved lemon bon bons,strawberry bon bons,sweet peanuts,rhubard & custard,pineapple chunks, cola cubes,strawberries and cream,rainbow drops ( white choc buttons with hundreds and thousands on them)
no wonder I had to have 7 of my baby teeth out at 7 and 10 fillings by the time i was 21!

I remember jubbly lollies, they used to fall out of the packet once they had melted a bit. Does anyone remember the super hero lollies, I think they were cola flavoured and had white plastic sticks in the shape of super heroes like Superman. I also liked the haunted house lollies, a bit like a mini milk but when you licked it you got a haunted picture on the front, like a spider web or ghost.

Anyone remember mambo's? used to call them jubbly's round here, frozen orange juice in a triangular pack, and one side was juicier than the other! They were heaven and stopped me getting very overheated back in the hot summers of 75 and 76! Used to love kola kubes and pineapple chunks and also little green apple sweets, adorable!

Great sweets sold by the quarter such as Kop Kops (my favourite) and Cherry Lips.
Also Sherbert Fountain.
Those flying saucer things that melted in your mouth.
The Space dust stuff that fizzled in your mouth.
Finger of Fudge (fnar fnar) "A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat...." etc etc. I always get that tune mixed up with the old Matey bubble bath tune ("Clean fun, clean bath, clean kids")

I don't know if any of these are available anymore or not as I no longer live in the UK ;-)

Used to be a little sweet shop in Timperley Cheshire called The Chocolate Box. Big jars of the "weigh" sweets all around the shop and you'd have to pass them to the old dude behind the counter. I think it became a hairdressers and I've no idea now...

Based in Sunderland I know they have a good reputation for selling traditional sweets directly from their stall and they also sell online.
