Re: Sweets

I've created this thread to cover the topic of sweets, please post here rather than starting a new thread for each individual sweet type. Thanks

Re: Pint Pots

perhaps they where only around for a very short time or where only available in a select few parts of the country.
hence why we do not know of them.

I'm confused too, at first I thought you meant beer flavored bottles/ pint pot glass like the cola bottles.

Re: Liquorice Torpedoes

Liquorice Torpedoes – delicious – liquorice with a crisp coating – like liquorice comfits – but bigger! Crunchy and chewy.

was never a lover of liquorice but i did love these.

Jelly Cherry Lips

Jelly Cherry Lips – Large, soft, chewy, gummy, jelly, full red lips – perfect for Mick Jagger impressions!! They are also known as Juicy Lips – for obvious reasons!

Gum Powder




Gum Powder – explosively sour bubblegum! It`s not “Toxic Waste” sour. . . bubblegum that sour would probably be just too much. But this is bubblegum. . . in packs like tiny milk cartons. . . that bites back!!

Re: 70's Fizzy Vampire Teeth

Yeah, encouraging kids to press sugar covered sweets against their teeth. Must have been invented by a Dentist.

70's Fizzy Vampire Teeth

Who Remembers This Fizzy Vampire Teeth

Fizzy Vampire Teeth – great big fangs like Dracula had – except his weren`t fizzy – at least not in any of the Dracula films we have seen

Re: The 10p mix up/10p mixture

there were worse sweets than parma violets - scented ottoes....like squirting tweed in your mouth.

straws with sherbert in them
I remember our local chemist used to sell those sweet lollys you could whistle through...and sticks of wood that were liquorice.
White chocolate skulls that had pink goo inside them.

Re: The 10p mix up/10p mixture

Aww I love parma violets. Don't ask
There were also cola bottles and sometimes lager bottles.
