I can't remember bright orange bags, but sometimes the contents of easter eggs came in a clear plasic bag.

The orange bags were clear but like a burnt orangey colour if you know what I mean. A bit like the celophane that was on Lucozade years ago. I clearly remember the Buttons Eggs having them in in the 80's. I have asked a few friends (in case it's just me going mad!) and they agree that they were deffinately orange.

The orange bags do ring a bell for me, but I also deffo remember sweets and buttons coming in see through bags too. Boo the day they started to pack them separately due to choking hazzards! Pah!

Re: Old Skool Packaging

I agree!! I miss trying to break the egg into 2 halves without them smashing to bits!! It was all part of the fun for me!

Re: Old Skool Packaging

That was always tricky, when I was old enough I used to cheat & use a sharp knife on the seam. Some eggs came with the shell in 2 seperate halves, that saved some trouble.

When were Bunny Tots made until?

I can't remember them in the early 1980s when I used to have the others in the tots range bought for me.

They are a new one on me too. The one missing from the picture is Teddy tots. Can even remember the song from the ad, "4 to choose from on the shelf, rowntrees tots please yourself".

Re: Old Skool Packaging

Any body got some pics of the following.

KP wickers
KP (i think) Bones
football crazy (small ball shaped crisps)

that tattoo bubble gum me and my mates used to call germoline bubbly due to the wintergreen oil used to flavour them,
they came with blue yellow and black smiley tattoos,

Those plastic fruit shaped bottles that had sherbet in them.

Heres hoping!

I have a tale of youthfull malevolence regarding Mr freeze ice pops, around the time the blue ones came out, boots was selling hair gel in littles glass pots. they had pink green and light blue colours.
Some twisted individual filled an empty packet whilst waiting for the school bus home and waited for the customary shout of "two's on yer ice pop" offered it to some weedy kid telling him it was floral gum flavour but it wasnt frozen.
greedy little monkey stuck the open end in his cakehole and with a deft movement of the thumb and forefinger, sqeezed the lot up in one go.
you can imagine the results, heh heh heh
them were the days

Re: Old Skool Packaging

All the crisps you mention are on the crisp thread in the food and drink section. Including Smiths Horror bags/Bones but we also have a thread dedicated to Horrorbags

All sweet related items can be found on the Defunct sweets thread, but I do know you can still get the plastic sherbet fruit bottles my kids love them

Re: Old Skool Packaging

Don't suppose anyone has an image of a Mr Kipling's Jaffa Fingers box, do they?
I've just set up a Facebook group in memory of the lovely things, but alas have no picture..!

Re: Old Skool Packaging

I think I remember getting a couple of these free with Look-In many years ago.

Re: Old Skool Packaging

Ahh Mr Freeze, I remember my mum buying my sister and I a whole box of these from the cash & carry to last us through the summer holidays.
I distinctly remember sitting down on the floor sharing out the various flavours one for me one for you making sure I wasn't underdone on the cola ones, they were our favourite.
