Sour fruit Gum

I remeber something like sourfruit (it might be the same the packets look very familiar)in a machine outside the shop across the road from my mums after you bought so many it would give you an extra packet free.It did it regular so was set that way.

Re: Old Skool Packaging

No nor me but it's on Ebay and priced at 16p, wonder if it was a limited wrapper??

That was the original lion bar wrapper, I remember it very well, it was my favourite bar when it came out, which would have been around 1979. It wasn't a limited edition.
