Blackjacks

[remember]

Four for a penny, Blackjacks were little chewy sweets wrapped in greaseproof black and white paper wrappings and a favourite for the old mixed-bag selection. More like a chalk grey than jet black, too many of them would turn the inside of your mouth and tongue a nasty black colour, much to the dismay of many mums. Because of this, it wasn't a good sweet to sneakily eat at playtimes. Blackjacks often used to be mixed with 'Fruit Salad', a chew sweet or around the same size with a distinct favour and bright yellow and red wrappers.
