Re: 70's sweets

I loved the advert for OPALFRUITS, when they were playing in the sea, and the jingle - Opalfruits, made to make your mouth water. Starbursts do not compare. Loved the green ones.

Daz posted the opal fruits advert on defunct sweets just a few days ago. Its on page 27, if you want to watch. xx

Loved the sweet tobacco and saw it being sold loose in a shop last weekend. One of those shops that sold the old fashioned sweets in the large jars. Only thing was some of the sweets looked as though they had been there since the 70's, shame they had some really good ones as well.

THis stuff was called spanish gold.... i lovvvved it !

Loved chewing nuts and sweet tobacco, does anyone remember "IMPS"
they were tiny squares of very strong hard liquorice and were sold in small boxes - have done a search on them, but cannot find anything on them (where are you Daz and Oggy - search Kings of DYR!! )

Another sweet I remember and you use to be able to buy them loose, was small soft chewy toffee lumps with coconut mixed in the toffee - can't remember what they were called, really nice though

omg, I found some 'IMPS' in a shop in Blackpool.......couldn't believe it, I hadn't seen them for about 30yrs+, just had to buy them!

Urrgh! I don't remember that, but it sounds horrid. Did you like it Claudine?

Re: 70's sweets

I don't think I did like it that much Kaz, can't remember who kept buying the stuff but hey, it was sweet so I'd eat it

Re: 70's sweets

Saw some Coltsfoot for sale in a sweetie shop today, but I'm sure last time I bought some it had a different name?

Re: 70's sweets

I remember my friend having floral gums, & they seemed very strange tasting.
