Default What are your favourite childhood sweets?

I was having this conversation with someone at work today... ahhh, brought back some memories... I loved all the penny chews like the pink shrimps, also flying saucers, fruit salads, cola bottles, fried eggs, banana and strawberry toffo's, wham bars, sherbet dib dabs... hehe. They used to sell something called 'booty bags' in my local shop which had a combination of the above delights and my bro and I used to fight over the sticker once we had gobbled all the sweeties...

FLIP POP! loooool I still remember the advert for that...anyone who had that was considered uber cool.

And I think every muslim kid was in denial when it was revealed that cola bottles were haram...

My faves were:

Cola bottles,

The sugar cola bottles...red and white with sherbet..

The milk cola bottles...red and pink.

The fizzy cola bottles...turquoise and pinkish...

Fried eggs...(when I had my haribo...NOONE was allowed these).

Maoam...

Strawberry lips...

Sherbet straws...

But the big daddy?

Strawberry laces...!
