Pacers ..... And Sweets Of Youth .

[Jaydee]

I was born in Shifnal.

God - loved the sugar mice.

Mojo's.
annisead balls.

Do you remember when you were little Cadbury creme eggs seemed like they were the size of footballs - they seem tiny now....

Hehe Trace - I saw your other post about the 'he who should not be named' concert with your fiance's mum. we used to take our dog to cannock chase when i was a very little person! i'm glad someone else remembers the sugar mice! and YES! the creme eggs had a similar effect on my stomach to the sugar mice lol!

How about Hoboes too, toffee and banana flavours half and half, yellow and brown, but Pacers were like mint Opal fruits aka Starburst today, like Marathon has become a Snickers, lol. Then the daddy of all sweets

SPACE DUST!

I think Pacers replaced Opal Mints, and if memory serves they weren't striped originally, just plain white like Opal Mints.

All this stuff dates us quite accurately, doesn't it. I'm 39, and I'm guessing that's a little older than many posters around here. Some of you young whippersnappers probably don't remember Aquafresh before they added the red stripe, heh!
