Defunct sweets?

Re: Defunct sweets?

I remember sometime in the 1980s Sweet Cigarettes became Candy Sticks with the ends no longer coloured red.

From what I remember Hedgehog crisps had a fairly spicy taste that was hard to discribe, but later on they had more standard flavourings.

One (thankfully) defunct sweet I remember form the early 70s was "cigarettes" made of some hard chalky type confectionary. The end had red food colouring on it to make it look like it was lit. There's no way that would be allowed these days.

Not a sweet as such but I remember the semi joke "Hedgehog Flavour" Crisps from about 1983. Had all the schoolboys snickering and wanting to buy a packet.

I am upset about the news that Kola Kubes are going to stop being made.

They are still being made by several companies, it just that Taverners has stopped making them.

This is unfortunate new, especially with the recent boom in retro sweet shops.
