jamboree bags

[old git]

Not sure on the spelling,but remember buying these in the 70's.They had sweets and a toy, and corny jokes on the back of the bag.Remember they used to have alot in them but they changed the name and didn't seem the same after.

I remember these! Didn't they also contain those sherbet flying saucers, and little sweets called blackjacks and fruit salads? (I think that's what the second ones were called. They were pink and yellow.)

I used to buy jamboree bags. I remember them having foam shrimps, flying saucers, toffee lollies, sherbert dib dabs, blackjacks, fruit salads and a gift.

I remember then as Mr Lucky Bags too, usually ended up with a really cheap yo-yo or a sliding puzzle

Jamboree bags, for the term for a scout gathering or celebration.

When I remember them, they were a plain-coloured paper bag with the printing of a conical scout tent and scouts on them. Cost 3d in the old money. But this was the era of ha'penny chews and four for a penny flying saucers.

Yes contents including a range of the now-classic sweets with the cheap toy, but what stands out in my memory was that there was usually (always?) one on a stick. A toffee lollipop, frequently, I seem to recall.

...As was also found in Sherbet dips of the time.
Modern sherbet dip dabs seem to have changed from that.

Yep, I remember those, the cheap toy usually had "Empire made" stamped on the back.

Re: jamboree bags

Jamboree/Lucky Bags were quite a cheap thing to buy

As mentioned above they had a little plastic toy inside. Usually tacky but you did get the odd decent toy
