Nah, frazzles were something completely different, they looked like little fried bits of bacon.

Wheaties are still around today. They are like tubes, bacon flavoured

That crackling/popping candy rocked too And sherbet with the liquorice stick thing you dunked in (which I never used cos liquorice is nasty)

 

[Perplex]

and pear drops The ones that had a realyl toxic vapour to them, so if you ate too many you'd almost choke when you inhaled

OMG!!!

we were always late and got done by that anally orientated late-prefect

That crackling stuff is in the Wonka Xploder chocolate bars, pity the chocolate tastes like dog wee

[Durzel]

Bazookas and/or Astro Belts

[old.[CS]Sentinel]

WHAM! bars with the exploding bits of candy embedded in pure sugar! Man they ruled...

Anyone ever try snorting sherbet from the sherbet fountains? You're ears go "Fzzzzzzzzz....pop" for about a minute afterwards.

What about Nerds/Dweebs/Ever lasting Gobstoppers?

Heheh

[old.[CS]Sentinel]

I likes Armadillos! LOL remember that advert?

That mans a nutter!

Errr - tab clear! Lol! Did you guys know COke released a new drink before Xmas called Burn? Its a Red Bull competitor that is relying on 'Viral Marketing' (word of mouth) to sell. Its only available in a couple of Style Bars in London - but I got to try some at a trade show the other day and its well nice!

Apparently, the more 'buzz' there is on Burn, the more bars they will sell it to.

Quality drink man!

Tangy Toms

I agree with Stu. The king of cheap crisps (and they actually taste nice). Only one problem, they leave some red gank on your fingers that refuses to stop smelling after you have washed it off.

 

[Nighty-]

Talking of cheap sweets, does anyone have a newsagent near by that is run by complete and utter weirdos? There's one in Sutton with a small man who has a giggling accomplice in the back room who checks bank notes for validity? We also saw a chainsaw in his van. Everything there is stupidly over priced too. The 10p crisps were being sold for 30? Even though it said '10p!' on the bag :|

 

[Testin da Cable]

^^

ummm....that prolly isn't a newsagents you went in m8

[old.Morpheus]

What I really miss, 'cos you can't seem to find 'em anywhere, are the chocolate covered banannas

You know the ones - in the 2p sweet box you used to get small bananna shaped foam things, and sometimes they'd be chocolate coated. Man, I loved those stupid things.

 

[Nighty-]

They still sell them in Woolworths Pic'n'Mix
