I can remember 'Spangles' so fruity tasting they were. Such a shame when those weren't sold anymore. Although quite a few years ago they brought them back but not for too long sadly.

Opal Fruits back for limited time at Poundland!

I bought some - however had it been Starburst I wouldn't have. It's a bit mad

I've never met anyone who remembers Junglies. Cardboard collectible cubes, each side with a picture of part of a jungle animal on it, you collected the boxes to make up the whole pictures. Inside were jelly sweets in the shape of - you've guessed it - jungle animals.

Was Cadbury's Special Branch some sort of club where people could join? Looks like it.

Re: Defunct sweets?

I am intrigued by the Cadbury's Special Branch packaging - was this something which was tied in with the early 1970s police series?

I can understand why the BBC didn't want the association between Top Cat, the cartoon and the cat food.
