Who Remembers the old Products

Recommended Posts

I can assure you that Walkers crisps were definitely on sale in Sheffield when I was at Ecclesfield Grammar School because they used to sell them in the tuck shop. I left school in 1966. My husband also remembers them and he is the same age as me:cool:

There is a shop at Peak Village (through Chatsworth) that sells all kinds of 'old fashioned' sweets!! Wonderful going down memory lane remembering all the sweets we had as kids!!!!

 

No need to go out to Peak Village.

There is an excellent shop at the bottom of Duke Street that sells all rhe old fashioned sweets.

Are you sure that Walkers crisps were on sale in the 60's. I might be wrong and sorry if I am.

 

Walkers began to make crisps in 1948 according to the company history, but at first they were distributed only in the area around their Leicester base, and they only became a market leader from about the 1980s onwards.

 

I remember walkers crisps being 2p a packet in the mid 1970s, when the walkers snaps came out. I remember Snaps being 1p a packet

Does anyone remember the yogurt that had the hard crust on top. . .no fruit whatsoever:nono:

I think they were called "choc top" but I know they definately did chocolate and banana flavour's.

I dont know when they stopped making them but can remember them from when I was very young:D

Who remembers Old Ma Roper's Scrubbing Gravel?

 

It was like the exfoliant of the 1950s, but made out of ground up bricks from WWII bomb sites.

In the fifties and early sixties I can only remember eating Smith's crisps, and maybe XL crisps, if they were around then, I'm not quite sure, It was a long time ago.

Monday's in the fifties was wesh day and I was usually sent to the corner shop for a bag of reckitt's blue, a very handy product, not only used for whitening, but dabbed on stings and insect bites. I don't know if it's still around.
