Sweets

I found a company called aquarterof that sells loads of the old sweets. I haven't put the full address up as I didn't know if it was allowed.

It's a real trip down memory lane, I can't find the black bubble gum though!!
 
I was browsing in a book in wh smiths today about classic sweets,lollys etc and came across somthing called Tiffin bars i think they were out in the late sixties does anybody remember them or what they tasted like :)
 
I think we can still buy Tiffin bars, Amos. Cadburys? I'm sure they're still out there. Are they the ones? Or is it a different make?

The original Spangles were a boiled fruit sweet.

Why do they change the names? I still look for Opal Fruits and a Marathon! (Snickers is a silly name for a chocolate bar in my opinion, for what that is worth!)

Please read this carefully as you will be very pleased.

Two day ago on the bbc, there was a show called "nigel slater life is sweets" It is a documentary on sweets going back to when we were young. What memories it brought to me. I saw it as I was able to download it from "The Box". It mentioned sweets that we didn't mention in this thread. To look for it as I sadi you have to click on Documentries.
 
It was a good programme. I enjoy Nigel Slaters cooking shows. He's so pleased with flavours.
 
When I saw him suck through the liquorice that white sugary powder it reminded me of when young. Infact I am going to put it on a dvd and keep it. This is history.
 
I was really pleased when they showed the Aztec bar. It proved I wasn't going barmy and it was a real bar of chocolate. Not a figment of my imagination!
 
Yes remember those, I think you can still get Drifters, pretty sure theres one in a section box I bought!
 
How can you think of sweets with all the Christmas Cakes, Puddings, Mince pies etc all around you. But I won't say no to a box of Quality Street.
 
I profer the sweets to be honest Compo, don't mind a nice cream cake but I find Xmas cake a bit too liquorishy now adays :(
 
I use to make it and everyone liked it because it was really good and because it wasn't to fruity. Then I started buying them. It was hard to find a good one but once the one I got from M&S was quite good. you might not believe me but the cheaper ones are really good. Once I got one from Woolworths. Susan, the name isn't everything...
