can anyone remember a flavour called savoury vinegar,cant remember who they were made but 'smiths' ring a bell,is there such a company?They were my all time favourite i wish we could still get them.

Me and my boyfriend were talking about Tubes earlier... They were crisps, of the same type as squares, but um... tube shaped...

I think John McEnroe was in the advert.. Wish they still made them...

I think walkers bought them over, but don't quote me on that

How about Bitza Pizza crisps? My dad bought a huge box of them from macro when I was a kid and so I was forced to have a packet with my school packed lunch for over a month! Just about ready to try them again if they still make them - which I doubt.

Also, what on earth were those mints called that were like opal fruits but were white with green stripes and tended to give all your clothes green stripes in the ads? Or am I making them up?


And, yes, I think I've seen Walker's "Salt 'n' Shake" that used to Smith's and had really cute but suicidal singing potatoes!

the mints were pacers

Really? You'd think I'd remember that as they used to be my sweet of choice for ages. But that's maybe why they stopped making them - causes memory loss in young children!

Does anyone remember those large fish sweets? They were boiled sweets in a sort of generic fish form. I think smaller versions may still be available in Yorshire Mixture. But these were big and lasted about three days. Mother used to give them to us to keep us quiet (this was before I gained my peerage, of course)...

Anyway, they should bring those back. Never mind courgette stew or whatever Jamie's dishing up to the kids. Let them eat fishes - it might shut a few up!

any one know anywhere in hillsborough or town where you can get 1p pick n mixes?

Savoury straws.......made my lips tingle!!:clap:

can any of you older members remember NIBBITS?,they were a kind of puffed potato snack,similar to quavers only better!.

Sadly 1p sweets tend to be about 2 or 3p these days :rolleyes:.

A 10p mix will either cost you 15p, or contain quite a few less sweets than it used to if it's actually 10p. WOrk that one out :loopy:

Yes Iremember nibbits long time ago. Were the fish sweets coated with sugar? the ones I remember were. also crisps with a twist of salt ,witch made eating salt optioinal.

Can't help with your enquiry deelightful3, but reading this thread in the middle of the night has made me peckish. Just nipped out to the all night garage and bought some Walker's crisps. Plain though - no fancy flavours.

You mean you haven't always lived a kind of strange communal existence with your motley collection of "pals" in a castle watched over by your great aunt?

Those twins Snitch and Snatch are a bit creepy, by the way. ;)

I am rather worried by Lord Snooty's reference to his mother. I have always assumed he was brought up by his Aunt Maud, who always refers to him as Lord Marmaduke. Where Snith and Snatch, in their wonderful white suits came from goodness knows. Nor do I have any idea who were the parents of Scrapper, Doubting Thomas, he with hair like a question mark, Scrapper, S****y Lanky Liz and Gertie the Goat!!!!!!!

Perhaps the Lord would enlighten me.

Er, no. But thanks for the interest. I suppose I ought to break it to you gently..........I am not the real Lord Snooty. There - I've said it! I am actually an urchin from the badlands of north east derbyshire and there was no Aunt Maud to speak of, just an Auntie Gladys who wasn't really an auntie (the main thing I remember about her is she had a large dog called Blackie who was allowed to sit on the lavatory! It seemed normal at the time, but then, so did not having a stately home).

Sorry Bruce, may I refer you to the above post? Don't worry though, I am a Lord now and I really do have a top hat and listen to The Inkspots and I have a house.....er, hall called Toffingham Hall as well. In fact, to return to the subject, does anyone remember Lord Toffingham ice creams? I named my Hall after them you know......

oh oh i've asked people i know and nobody can remember or knows what i'm on about. Can anyone remember (not so long ago) crisps called puffs? think KP made them, oh i loved them, i know a few old corner shops sold them (probably 6-year old stock they couldn't shift).whwre are they now?

also a chocolate bar called Secret....think it was Nestle, like a moose inside a chocolate nest type thing...but the shape of an average mars bar, aero etc.

Finally, someone else who remembers Secret bars. I thought I had imagined them. Oooh, they were delicious...

I also remember Puffs, and in my childhood were affectionately part of the "scrubber bags of crisp" range, also incorporating Space Raiders, Thin Jims and Mammoth Bites.

Also, the only way to ever eat Puffs were to tip them into your mouth cos they were so tiny and broken.

Um... Have just read that back. Hope I haven't said anything incriminating there...

haha me too! NOBODY had heard of them! and yeah i don't know where you're from but definately the scrubber bag of crisps. can you still get them??

thank you Miss!

that's really weird - the second I saw this thread I thought of Secret bars. they were a treat and a half.

and they came in their own little special tray like a throne!

I don't know if I dreamt about them but I seem to remember later 70's we used to have some biscuits they were round and came in different colours green/yellow/red etc and had names like yellow peril on them, does anyone else remember or am I going mad

I wish they would bring back "Puffa Puffa Rice" breakfast cereal, but only if you can save the tokens for free Weebles or Playmobile toys.

just remembered crackerjack boxes from my childhood,they had popcorn inside and a small toy if i remember correctly

"can any of you older members remember NIBBITS?,they were a kind of puffed potato snack,similar to quavers only better!."

Gosh, completely forgotten about them - they were ace - thanks for the memory Skeggy:thumbsup:

MINT CRACKNELL

How it used to slash the end of your tongue with the sharp sugar strands! Bloody lovely! :hihi:

I now have this weird image in my mind ... like in the story, Rupert and the Mare's Nest ... where horses lived in big nests in the tops of tall trees .... only with mooses instead ... would they get their antlers tangled in the branches - I wonder ...

sweet tobbaco!

Can't remember what it was called, I think it was basically shredded dyed coconut but it was gorgeous.

if you look on a site www.aquarterof.co.uk you will find some of the sweets mentioned on here!

In lincoln there is a really old fashioned sweet shop called goodies, its at the bottom of Steep Hill, its well worth a look if you're ever across there because they have all sorts of lovely sweets in glass jars on shelves that line all the walls, and the staff are really friendly, and its worth going in just to look at all the happy children :)

But nick2, didn't these also collect in your hairy chest like chocolate bits*? (That's the rice, not the free gifts).

[* = go see chocolate thread for details]

I used to collect crisp bags when I was 9yrs old (1975) and I've got these Nibbit bags in my collection.:thumbsup:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/trendydave/Nib-itpeg.jpg

mm... some great memories, i used to love mint cracknell. my husband and i still call crisps nibbits,if hes had to get his own tea, when i ask him what hes had, he says NIBBITS in a 'hard done to' voice as if ive starved him. i can remember buying the sweet fish from a glass jar in the sweet shop, different sizes were different prices. my favourite sweets= pear drops, sherbert & liquorice, sugar mice at christmas, 1d arrow bars, bazooka joe bubbly, 4d frozen jubbleys in the summer, wagon wheels (yes they were much bigger) it was very exciting when anything new came out such as raspberry ripple lollies, because food/sweets never used to change when i was a kid the prices stayed the same for years too.

E-Type Jaguars.

One of the best looking cars ever (certainly the most beautiful British car of all time).

Even today, when you see one on the road it still looks absolutely great (despite the laughably narrow track).

They cost £1,995 new when introduced in 1961 and you had to be a rock star or a footballer to afford one.

Sorry to digress from the sweets theme, but the title of the thread is open to interpretation.

Let's hear it for British design and craftsmanship!

I wish we still had TEXAN bars, the chewy orange stuff with chocolate on... YUM. I remember the advert - the cartoon with the cowboy - how cool was he?!!! 8)

And SPANGLES !!! remember them? boiled sweets in all different flavours.... I used to hate them :gag:

oh memories!

I used to love secret bars when I was younger, am I right in remembering that the advert was 2 people on a train carriage? Or am I getting all mixed up again :confused:

Also Tab Clear, does anyone remember that? It was clear Cola and came in a see through can. Whenever I mention it people look at me gone out like I made it up in my own head or something??:confused: please someone help:confused:
Am I going crazeee:loopy: :loopy:

Rach :D :D

Hi, i really miss the vegetable pasties Both Bakers Oven and Greggs used to make - preferably Bakers Oven.

They replaced them with vegetable bakes :(

How about sherbert dips . A bag of sherbert with a hollow tube of licorice to suck it through. Also all day suckers, that lasted ages, and mint humbugs.

Secret Bars were lovely... So was the Coconut Boost... mm mm

I used to like Fish 'n' Chips also Piggies (crisps)

Can anyone remember an Ice Lolly called Top Secret or something... It was a bit like a Feast of what i can remember but orange kinda ice cream in the middle... They were scrum! Sorry for the vague description there :?

ps... I remember Tab Clear... very cheap :)

Originally posted by SKEGGY

Yes, I remember NIBBITS, they must have been one of the first alternatives to crisps. In the fifties we used to visit my gran who lived on Clarence Street, and after tea we'd walk along to the local off-licence with a jug for my grandad's beer, and I'd get a lemonade and some Nibbits. The only alternative was a bag of crisps with the salt in a twist of blue paper.:thumbsup:

I used to love Tab-Clear... and does anyone remeber 'Cabanna' bars? Going back about 16 years now (god I feel old).

Cabanna's had coconut and cherries in them - yum

www.bagofsweets.com
NICE

Hi there, yes i remember savoury vinegar crisps!!!!! was only talking about them earlier!!! they were my fav too, sadly whenever i like something it seems to be on the market for a short time!! does anyone remember a drink called cydrax? that was lovely, shame.

I still miss frys five centres :(

I wish we still had TEXAN bars, the chewy orange stuff with chocolate on... YUM. I remember the advert - the cartoon with the cowboy - how cool was he?!!! 8)

And SPANGLES !!! remember them? boiled sweets in all different flavours.... I used to hate them :gag:

oh memories!

they brought them out again for a while didn't they?

anyone remember this ice cream which was different little shapes such as feet and hands with a lolly outside and ice cream in the middle? mmm

and i don't know if they still do them but these bacon crisps called oinks!

and white chocolate fish and chips :)

I liked the chewing gum with the liquid in the middle - can't remember its name.

Texans went on release again last year - I bought one from the Spar shop in Barkers pool/Devonshire Street.

My friend found them a few days later and bought one for her daughter (who she NEVER buys sweets for) as if she was handing her the Holy Grail. She handed me one and we all sat chomping in silence. I hadn't the heart to tell her I'd had one only a few days earlier.

And Galaxy counters. Minstrels are so not the same thing!

Paces (or were they Pacers?). Like Opal Fruits but mint flavoured. They were white at first, then later green-striped ones were introduced. I used to flatten then between my fingers then nibble at them like a biscuit.

CARAMACS.....i know they still sell them but there just not the same!!!
They seemed huge when we were kids....mmmmmmmmmmm
oh and Ruffle bars....with the pink cocunut inside.....chocolate and sweets just arent what they used to be!!!

The chocolate bar to die for....Cabana!:love: I loved Nibbits as a nipper, then moved on to Potato Puffs. The foodstuff I really adored was Virol!:love: Does anyone have the reason why this moorish, sticky sweet liquid was removed from the shelves? :sad:

the mints were pacers

COR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minty chewits!!!!!!!! Cos that's pretty much what they were ......... I'd forgotten about them .........

COR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minty chewits!!!!!!!! Cos that's pretty much what they were ......... I'd forgotten about them .........
They were bigger than Chewits though, and had a softer texture. Mint Opal Fruits, I'd say.

I used to love Tab-Clear...

What about that mid-80's flourescent green liquid called Quatro?

They were bigger than Chewits though, and had a softer texture. Mint Opal Fruits, I'd say.

Yeah, you're right ...... and I never did find an Opal Fruit which tasted of a ...... fruit .......

When I was about 4 there were some bacon puff crisps called Football Crazy ....... they were great ....... oooh, Frazzles too, not seen those for ages, much stroger in E numbers than Smith's Bacon Fries ........

mmm frazzles! hehe

Wispa Golds were fantastic! I know wispa was meant to have been replaced my bubbles but it ain't the same!

Wispa bites lovely, also scampi and lemon nik naks.

Pear Drops. The shape of pears and really did taste of them.Divine.............

Following on from the "terrible lager of the '90s" thread, it got me thinking about other products that are no longer around. I think the one I miss most is Birdall's gravy salts - proper part of a Sunday lunch when I were a lad.

What about you?

Rootbeer :cry:

jersey potatoes. I know you can still get them but they just don't taste the same.:cry: :cry:

Proper draught Bass....flat as fart with a kick like a mule :D

Pacers - they were a chewy mint sweetie and they were lovely :love:

Ringo Crisps.

Texan Bars.

Fruit Jellies (suitable for veggies) from the Co-op.

Veggie Sausage and mash from Marks and Spencer.

A really lovely veggie cumberland pie from Marks and Spencer.

That chewing gum with the liquid centre that was cinamon flavoured.

Thorntons Violet Creams.

Two dogs and Hooch alcopops (Two dogs was always much nicer!)

Badger. Not had a roast badger sandwich since I was nine years old......

Pacers - they were a chewy mint sweetie and they were lovely :love:

They were nice - they had green and white stripes didn't they?

Do they still make Tizer and Ju Soda I wonder.

What about 'flying saucers and sherbert dabs.?'

This must have been done before on here I am sure. :D

They were nice - they had green and white stripes didn't they?

They're the ones.

Also hedgehog flavoured crisps, they weren't around for long (made from real hedgehogs apparently) :suspect:

Do they still make Tizer and Ju Soda I wonder.

What about 'flying saucers and sherbert dabs.?'

This must have been done before on here I am sure. :D

Tizer, sherbert dabs and flying saucers are still available. I remember the sweets coming into the work tuck shop and selling out in no time cos everyone was buying some to take home to kids/partners!!

What happened to spangles???

Don't get me started on Marathon, Opel fruits and all the other "name changes for unity" issue:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Do they still make Tizer and Ju Soda I wonder.

oooo Ju Soda I can taste it now:)

I remember really liking '5 Boys' chocolate bars (although no one else remembers em! :rolleyes: )
And I remember buying a bag of kipper flavour crisps from the ice cream lady with the tray at the cinema...I swear I do!!

Proper draught Bass....flat as fart with a kick like a mule :D
Still available, but not sure about round Sheffield... If you're ever in Bristol, try my old haunt (http://www.britishpubguide.com/cgi-bin/pub.cgi?results:Bristol:274). No keg, no handpump - just gravity, straight from the barrel :clap:

I remember Fry's Five Boys! Though, nowadays, that might sound like some innuendo about Stephen's life? :rolleyes:

But kipper-flavoured crisps? :gag: Were times ever that hard?!

What about Jubblies? Are they still around? Used to love the shape, and they were delicious frozen.

I used to love the flavoured walnut whips!

And tesco used to do almond butter shortbreads which were so good you had to eat the whole packet. And thin and crispy frozen tuna and prawn pizza, which was the most awesome comfort food ever!

What about cheap coffee with chicory in? That was vile! :(

My mum lived on it. Until I left home I thought only 'posh' people drank Nescafe. Chicory stuff really was disgusting :gag: :gag:

Love the Avatar. :thumbsup:

when i was about 7/8 (so bout 10 years ago) i use to eat these little ice cube things, in like a long rectangle foil packet and there were like 5 different colours in them, i cut my tong on the foil EVERYTIME guarenteed but i loved them, wish i could still get them. Did anyone else use to have them?

Oh and astros, they were in what looked like a cigarette packet, little chocolate balls with a crispy bit inside them. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I used to love cadburys spiral. Have not seen any of them around for ages.

My mum lived on it. Until I left home I thought only 'posh' people drank Nescafe. Chicory stuff really was disgusting :gag: :gag:

same here! I only ever got nice coffee at me nanna's house! And she used to make it by boiling up milk and pouring it over the nescafe.

Grandad used to eat this bacon called 'fat bacon' - it was highly cured and all brown, but damn tasty. I've tried different dry cure stuff since but have never found that kind of bacon!

Horlicks sweets, they were about the size of a polo, in a paper tube, just compressed horlicks.
They were nice.

PK bubble gum wow i loved that some other brands have a few similar flavor's but their not the same!

What about Nibbits?

Did they come in a yellow box?

Also a paper tube of coloured popcorn. Cant remember what that was called either.

God, I remember Secret Bars now they've had a mention! God how could I forget- they were gorgeous!

I liked those American Quarterback cheeseburger flavour 10p crisps- last seen in Wilko's and the sarni shop on Newfield Green.

Also Poppets- the one with multicoloured 'fruit' flavoured centres- only ever see toffee and mint ones these days.

M&S Did the nicest banana ice-cream ever, actually tasted like banana not like banana flavour IYKWIM. Think it had bits of 'nana in too. Mmmm.

I liked those Fry's choccy bars with different flavour/ colours sections too.

Also liked Scampi n Lemon Nik Naks and Scampi fries (can you still get these in some pubs?). And Brannigans crisps, esp. the Roast Beef and Mustard flavour, yummmm..

I am sure I will think of more!!!!!!

What about Nibbits?


You can get something very close to a nibbit in M&S "crunchy combo" crips.

(very expensive though)

Horlicks sweets, they were about the size of a polo, in a paper tube, just compressed horlicks.
They were nice.


No, they were wrong:suspect: I'm sure they made them out of the stuff that floats around in the bottom of the mug when you've finished drinking it even though you stirred it.

A strange green fizzy pop from the late 80's called Quatro ........ it was rather nice ........ Frazzles were never the same after about 1988; I don't know if they're still about ........ can't seem to find Um Bongo anywhere either, but apparently it's still being made ........

Wispa bars too ....... I remember the annoying ad campaign in the mid 80's .......

Oh my God, I was talking about this only today!
Can anyone remember- Wispa and Wispa Gold bars?
Oh and vice-versas!! They were so so so nice. OHHHHHH and foot lollys!

I'm only 19, i feel like im a right old man after saying all that...

Time expired wisdom.

With such casual use of exclamation marks after every sentence you don't write like a 19 year old... really! ;)

What did happen to Wispa then? Never really noticed or lamented its death because there was much better confectionary on offer even when it existed.

With it being Cadbury it must have suffered a pretty large decline to get rid of it.

Bugger off! :P
I was just getting over excited I think...having said that, i'm already finding it hard to not use exclamation marks (just to prove a point of course).

There was no better confectionary! Wispas and vice-versas were the best thing to happen in the history of all things chocolate. I might write to Cadbury and make them bring it back, do you think they would listen? :P

Whats the chocolate you'd like to bring back then?

Oh crap, I used an exclamation mark. Hoiw did I not notice!?

Frazzles can be found at Asda or Morrisons but only in packs of six. They also come in a multi pack of squares and something else. Yummy!!!!!!

horlicks sweets and germaline bubblys

Twist and Squeeze. It was this flavoured drink that came in plastic bottles. You had to twist the top off and squeeze the bottle to get the drink out.

I loved that stuff and space dust (until it got banned for some reason, someones head exploded or something)

I think walkers bought them over, but don't quote me on that

oh, sorry :hihi:

can anyone remember Trio biscuits??? i used to LOVE them, they had them in strawberry and toffee flavours if i remember rightly, used to love em!!! wish they still made them!

I refused to buy them on account of the irritating TV advert, which is now going round my head.

Yay! Someone else remembers 5 boys! :D

Jubblies are still around but theyre now called Calypo's and its the truth about the kipper flavour crisps..honest.

Daft thing is they seemed quite nice then:gag:

Tizer, sherbert dabs and flying saucers are still available. I remember the sweets coming into the work tuck shop and selling out in no time cos everyone was buying some to take home to kids/partners!!

What happened to spangles???

Don't get me started on Marathon, Opel fruits and all the other "name changes for unity" issue:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:
I regret that they stopped making Spangles in 1984. I used to like the black ones - they had a faint taste of lead.:gag:

Ice cream soda flavour Hubba Bubba (sob!)

Pear Drops. The shape of pears and really did taste of them.Divine.............

Can still get them in a proper sweet shop. :)

I like quattro too, but not the day-glo colour....

Rootbeer :cry:

I thought that was the American name for Ginger Beer?

Watney's Red Barrel anyone?

Texan Bars

Sweetcorn Relish flavour Skips. Part of me died the day they stopped making them.

What about cheap coffee with chicory in? That was vile! :(

I was called 'Camp' coffee, and was an ersatz type of thing as proper coffee was not available during the war years.
It was liquid in a bottle, and on the label was a soldier sitting in a kilt.
I don't think that is why they called it camp though. :hihi:

Anyone remember chessey criss cross blue and yellow wrapper with soft cheese inside a quaver like coating ?

Hedgehog crisps how strange. Does anyone remember Bettabars. They were like a block of puffed rice coated in varnish or was it toffee.

Hedgehog crisps how strange. Does anyone remember Bettabars. They were like a block of puffed rice coated in varnish or was it toffee.

When you think, hedgehog flavour crisps was a good description.
Not many people, apart from true romany gypsies know what it tastes like, and most crisps feel as if they have prickles on anyway. :hihi:

Springo! The alcho pop with 0.025% vol which you bought at school and thought you were so cool cos you'de got booze (Of a sort)!

Would those be jubblies?

The ****ty coffee substitute made from chicory and non descript dung, is called camp.

Does anyone remember a nestle 'Nutty'? A real confection of a stick of fudge with unroasted, unsalted peanuts stuck round the outside of it.

im only 19 too and can remember Wispa bars, really chunky with bubbles inside the chocolate...mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I sent an email to cadburys yesterday asking if i can still get them anywhere..Maybe in the US or somethig. I hope so! I'v got a right craving for one now :P

The 70's would not have been the 70's without a party seven or two cracked open. The pressure would build up quite alarmingly so when one hole was punched in the top, the beer inside ended up on the ceiling!

It sounds like Cheesey Moments. Though, that's with a green and yellow packaging. I think you still can get that in pubs along with Scampis as well, no ?

I loved space dust when I was at school, almost blew yer tongue off!
I REALLY miss wispa mint, much nicer than mint aero. I hope Cadbury bring them back!!!!

Yeah ,if I remember right I think it was Watneys that started them.
You opened them with a tool which hooked under the rim and cut a triangular hole in the top. Failing that it was punch 2 holes in the top with a screwdriver.:hihi:

What about chipmunk crisps when you were a kid ?? if we were good at primary school and picked up loads of crisp wrappers from the school grounds you were awarded with a packet of grass seeds (bear with me !) which you then planted in an empty boiled egg shell filled with cotton wool, after drawing a suitable face on the shell and waiting a couple of weeks your eggface sprouted bright green hair !!!!! small things eh ? heres a few other ones i remember: the obligotary spangles, swiskits (yuk),proper aniseed balls with the seed in the center that used to really burn your tongue, original gravestone victory v's with ether or chloroform in em:loopy: o/d'd on these most winters !! and lastly mojo's you could buy hundreds of these with your pocket money (kept many dentists in business for years)

Yes, I remember NIBBITS, they must have been one of the first alternatives to crisps. In the fifties we used to visit my gran who lived on Clarence Street, and after tea we'd walk along to the local off-licence with a jug for my grandad's beer, and I'd get a lemonade and some Nibbits. The only alternative was a bag of crisps with the salt in a twist of blue paper.:thumbsup:

Am getting mixed up here. Were Nibbits like small hard chips, or am I getting confused?

I can remember George Lazenby (next James Bond after Sean Connery) doing The Big Fry advert. Was it Fry's chocolate?, as I remember that.
