Seems its common for shops to exploit kids health for their own gain , the shop on the corner next to our school did as well.

Has there always been age limits on cigs?

Re: Defunct sweets?

Think cigs has always been 16? But what's worse the odd ciggy or the chip van that seems to be outside every school gate these days? Was amazed to see kids tucking into a full chinese takeaway the other day at lunch time...how do they afford that?

Posted on behalf of my mum, Can any one remember Spanish Juice?? They were small sticks of licorice type stuff but not chewy. Hope mum does not mind me adding she was born in 1947, may help date it!!!

Looking at the Bitza Pizza bag reminded me of Wickers. They were both around at the same time but while Bitz Pizza where little pizza slice shapes Wickers where like a little woven crisp basket affair and tasted real nice .

Also anyone remember the KP Skydiver crisps..they rocked :-)
