Re: Defunct sweets?

I remember bars of 'Laurel' toffee that was made in Crook Co. Durham (near where i'm from). It was really bright and the bars looked like stained glass. Really nice.

Neon multicoloured bars of glass like toffee with psychedellic pattern. Will make enquiries for more information.

Ahh ok, I was wondering if you meant what we called Laser Beams, but yours sound different http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/laser-beams-p-1230.html

Mintessa

Got to be honest there's no date on these, but with a price tag of 12p.. I think that puts a bit of age to it.

Also mentioned on this thread a few times
Montego

Re: Defunct sweets?

Has anybody mentioned those laser Lances or the tools but in the shape of aliens yet?
The Alien shapes weren't around for very long unfortunately and despiter vague memories, I remember them being green.

Re: Defunct sweets?

Changing the packaging effects the flavour. I used to be a printer for food packaging and you wouldn't believe how much effort the designers put into packaging food so it tastes as it should when it gets to you. Putting Sherbet Fountains in a plastic tube is like putting fish and chips in a polystyrene tray, it just alters the taste from what it should be.

Re: Defunct sweets?

I recently had a sherbert fountain and I was discusted to see that they had done away with the old style packaging. What I thought was going to be an amazing re-visitation to my childhood turned into a bit of a damp squib.

Sly - I picked up a 3pk of Sherbet Fountains in Semi-Chem a while back and they were in the old style paper packaging. I must see if they've still got them as they're obviously selling off the last of this stock.
