Don't know if this is in the right place to post as I'm not sure if there were sweets involved with the thing I remember, but it might jog someone's memory. For a while you could get something that came with small road sign badges inside. I think it might have been sweets, perhaps in a little box? There was one badge in each pack, usually triangle-shaped and made of red plastic with the picture printed on holographic paper. Can anyone remember what these were?

Re: need help with a memory...
Just bumping this as I keep remembering them! I'd love to know what they were. For additional information, the time frame would have been approximately 1985-1987. The badges were about 4cm high with a safety pin stuck to the back, hard red plastic and the holographic paper was the sort that was most common at the time - very small squares. The designs were standard road signs. I remember having a 'low flying aircraft', 'give way', 'slippery road' and a few others. About 8 in all. Pretty sure these were something that could be bought in shops like newsagents hence me thinking there were also sweets involved!Last edited by Trickyvee; 04-02-2013, 21:52.1976 Vintage -
Re: need help with a memory...
This does ring a faint bell with me, but I cant be sure I'm not confusing it with a road safety game we had for the car.HeatherComment

Re: need help with a memory...
the only thing it sounds like to me is 'Booty Bags' but it was a holographic sticker that came with them and not a badge.Comment

Re: need help with a memory...
You're not thinking of a toy out of a cereal packet are you Tricky?......I know they don't give toys away in cereal packets anymore (health & safety I assume), but maybe that's what you're thinking ofComment

Re: need help with a memory...
Maybe, I'm really not sure as only the badges themselves stick in my mind. They are the sort of thing that could have quite easily come from a cereal packet but for some reason it is sweets that I keep thinking of. Could be wrong though.Originally posted by themilkman View Post1976 VintageComment

Found this picture of the badges on ebay but unfortunately no information on their origin. The search goes on ...Attached Files1976 VintageComment
