:D A cheerful subject on the forum makes a change of late......My Favourite sweet when i was little was a Sherbet Fountain or Freshers i think they were called?.

What were your Favourite sweets?



:twisted: t020

*when you WERE a kid.

I WAS, you WERE. 8)

I was more of a chocolate man myself, and still am. Sweets were OK and I used to eat quite a lot of jawbreakers, but mainly I used to eat chocolate bars like caramels, crunchies, dairy milks, etc.

Cola Cubes, Wine Gums (the hard ones, not the soft rubbish that are more popular today) and those red laces covered in sugar, I can't remember their name.

Pear Drop n Chocolate covered peanuts! Mmmmmm

Used to be those red or green sour belts you got from the icecream man (Archibold.)

Texan's, Nutty Bars, Toffo's, Caramac :)

Yep, very tangy and dirt cheap.

Space dust...popping and fizzing in your mouth....too cool 8)

Oh, and curlywurlys, although we didn't call them that.
For a transatlantic flavour: Sugar Daddys (yes, sweets :lol: ), candy corn, tootsie rolls, and Hersheys Kisses. And sugar lollys (made with cubed sugar :?: )

I used to like these litle white sweets with an outline of a dove etched on them. They always used to cheer me up.
