New to me, but will certainly seek it out

How could I resist a book with Horror Bags, Cresta & Pacers on the front cover!

Looks like a treasure trove of goodies inside

Cadbury's Silk

Wow Sixty! I'd genuinely forgotten about this. I don't recall it tasting like 'silk' as suggested by another member although I remember the lovely strawberry flavoured centre. Wasn't around for long I don't think. Thanks for the memory!

Re: Defunct sweets?

Oh yes i sure remember doing that
i loved the feel of the air as it came through the hole.
it seemed so minty fresh.


[QUOTE=Heather74;172084]I use to love these Coolmints, I remember sucking them until they were almost transparent, a small hole would appear in the center, which yo could suck really cool air though if you balanced it between your teeth.

Haha, I used to do exactly the same thing, the air seemed so fresh.

Re: Defunct sweets?

Yes, they do look familiar. Thanks!

Also, Galazy Counters. I know you can get them again now, but I am convinced (Perhaps wrongly) that they never used to look like they do now. I am sure they just used to be like Cadbury chocolate buttons only they were made from Galaxy chocolate instead. Am I right or wrong on this? It's somethng that has been bugging me for years!

I remember my Aunt having some sort of hard sweets, I think they may have been mints of some sort, not entirely sure, and the were mainly white with thinner green stripes. I think they may have been cube shaped. Anyone remember these?
