don't know about toffee..

Used to love that Highland Toffee. I also thought it was called Highland Chew at the time. Can you still get 'Bazooka Joe?

milk chews and daintys were the dogs bollocks,

old style highland toffee assortment with toffee hammer going cheap in bargin shops at present

Pretty much every single sweet from back in the day is available on this site.

I was an absolute fiend for a quarter of Kola cubes, pineapple chunks and Callard & Bowser butterscoth. All at the same time

i bet there's no Sambô

always buy the mother and father inlaw a big box of barrets liquorice for xmas

just had a look on tinternet & some Yank wanted $15 for one racist wrapper - as he called it

Pineapple chunks, they bring back memories, being the horrible sod as I was, used to get the toilet cakes out of the urinals, cut them down to size and mix them in with Pineapple chunks, and give them to the wally kids to eat.

used to get 10 sports mixtures for a penny out of hills bakers back in the day

Deptford that is just wrong on every level!

a lad in the pub used to drink  a pint with one of them toilet rings in the bottom for a free drink

CLEEVES TOFFEE

now were talking

More than anything i'd give my right bollock for the original

Chocolate pie, anyone?

Pear Drops were my favourite.

As a small boy it was my job to visit the sweet shop once a week to buy a ¼ of pear drops for me and ¼ of winter mixtures for my grandmother. :)

i presume most of the posters on this thread now have false teeth ....

Most of the posters have sold their teeth for a bet

I'm more partial to a hard boiled sweet now days but can't resist crunching the sods early doors, surely nobody sucks one of these things til it's literally disolved?? I'm talking pear drops, rhubarb and custartd, cough candy type confectionary..I still have no fillings and I am 47!

I used to love boiled sweets and roasted nuts but my teeth just say no now

even as a child when i saw my mum smash up bags of nut brittle with a hammer i was thinking this stuff can't be good for you . chocolate limes were the worst , crunch them and a pale green needle popped up from the shell and stuck into the roof of your mouth . happy days !

What about that stuff that crackled on the tongue? We used to shovel that in by the packetful... until the reports arrived it was carcinogenic.

I remember that Poker, not the name though, its no wonder all chit chatters have teeth like Albert steptoe after all the rubbish we ate.

Space Dust wasn't it? Brought it back on Apollo 11...

Still readily available in US. They call it popping candy.

Spacedust is correct, the missus said sparkles also?

Deplasterer

Do you mean McCowans Penny Caramels?

No mighty mac never had those but they look nice, instead of me having 5 original teeth I would have had 2 if I ate those bad boys

Deplasterer. Does she mean spangles? Like Tunes without the menthol. Blimey are Tunes still going come to think of it????

Many greatly missed.

Sorry to sidetrack... you watching game 7 TMM?

Yes HGS, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer unfortunately

Mighty, toffe treats, classic.

Wilmslow   ...always remember seeing that on all the sweets

Matlow *

Trebor used to have a factory about 1/2 mile away from where I grew up. Black Jacks and Fruit Salad were staples in our house.

Shocking omission Mikael Black Jack's, 2 for a penny, great call.

Chocklate logs about 10 for 5p, anyone rember those bad boys?

Yes Mikael, I certainly will. Been a wonderful match up. Not had a bet tonight. If I was sure Scherzer was fit, I would have bet them. What do you think?

Sorry Mikael, I never seen your earlier post until now. Good luck if you are betting!

If you are still about Mikael, I have started a WS fred on North American.

Some more deplasterer.

Sky Bar and Aztec Bar were gooooood!

Mint munchies Mighty

That first picture has a brown box of after eights along with the green which is still going today. Can't remember the brown ones. What was the difference?

back to the op , check out swizzels matlow ltd website . factory still in full operation , is next to canal and you get a lovely sweet smell if you cycle past !

Never ever saw/tasted brown after eights either HGS, Windsor will check that out. Not sure if these were sold in England, emerald sweets, Oatfield Confectionery Ireland Ltd, caramel and nougat choclates

HGS - the After Eight brown box had an Irish Cream filling instead of mint.

They also done them with Orange filling in an Orange Box and Lemon filling in a Yellow box.

Anyone remember "Matchmakers", used to have them at the cinema with a choc ice and a carton of Kiora orange squash. I've given away 3 boxes tonight to trick or treaters, tangy orange from Tesco only a quid a pop.

They still make different flavours today but packaging is different. Normal green box with an Orange band on box for Orange, etc etc.

Matchmakers are great but when you start eating them you can`t stop until box is empty.

Frys 5 Centre was my all time favourite chocolate Bar.

Well I never knew that. Cheers Mac. Yes Frys 5 centres, mmmm.

Matchmakers are also delish and you ain't wrong about starting them.

Old chocolate bar I used to like, Golden Cup. Bloomin lovely. Used to get different forms and sizes depending on price. Think they are extinct now.

you fascistsszzzzzzzzz   have a lot to answer four

Nigel Farage was my schoolmate, he was a good bloke. The teachers all hated him as they they could not deal with him.

Matchmakers were always a Xmas treat in our house, loved them but were a poor man's version of after eights

I woz always in trouble at seminars and eventually got kicked out for challenging our Marxist professor#

I asked him why he wasn't with us down on the Bread Strike  picket line trying to stop management driving lorries out of the bakery. he couldn't cope with that 1977 - I think that was

  Yes another powder puff hiding behind his texts/books ho ho ho

they got nothing - gutless - all from a book like some other lot you may be familiar with (but not so gutless)
