1970s 'Speech bubble' small stickers

[70sLad]

These were very small, about 2cm by 1cm and in 1978/9 everyone was sticking them on their school books. They had silly insults or messages on and were coloured on white backgrounds-a bit like 'Love Hearts' but possibly with more 'insults'.

Can anybody identify them please?

I well remember these stickers, they were a bit of a craze. One teacher to administer the cane to anybody who put one of these on their exercise book. Apparently, somebody in another class want too far. The craze seemed to disappear overnight.

Many thanks for your replies. I'm not convinced they came with sweets as I seem to recall them being stuck on an A5 backing sheet-but my memory might be wrong! It was definitely 1979 era though. And yes-the teachers didn't like them.
