spangles. the coloured sweets and which one was ur favourite
Answers: yes...i used to suck them until a hole came in the middle...then put my tongue through it!! - sad eh?? - those were the days!! Yep, the purple ones. Mystery flavour was mine!
The regular Spangles tube (labelled simply "Spangles") contained a variety of translucent, fruit flavoured sweets: strawberry, blackcurrant, orange, pineapple, lemon and lime.
Originally the sweets were not individually wrapped, but later a waxed paper, and eventually a cellophane wrapper was used. The tube was a bright orange-red colour, bearing the word "Spangles" in a large letters. In the seventies a distinctive, seventies-style font was used.
Over the production period many different, single flavour varieties were introduced including Acid Drop, Barley Sugar, Blackcurrant, Liquorice, Peppermint, Spearmint, and Tangerine. i remember them liked the orange i loved the black ones purple ones mmmm, you are just tryin to find out how old everyone is aint ya? I'm ancient they were like Tunes without the medicine. They brought them back a few years back in Woolworths but I guess they weren't big sellers this time round. The Old English ones were cloudy and had some strange flavours. I wasn't really a fan. I preferred Texans, Cabanas, Nutty's, Drifters, Pacers and Mintolas. yes i remember them i prefered the red do u rem the texan bar, Yes I remember spangles! We used to buy them on the way to school in the morning. I liked the black ones! I also remember Texan bars - " a last request gringo" that's how the advert went, with a tough looking Mexican type bandit putting the cowboy in front of the firing squad! Anyone out there remember sweet tobacco, kaylie, cough candy & shrimps? Yes I do. always red Purple. I think they'd be banned now. They were laced with a carcinogenic substance and LSD... well, at 8 years of age it seemed that way after 9 packets.
Space Dust was the only thing more lethal. i'm sorry i don't know what they are xxx Yes, and I remember my youthful palate being shocked by a winter warmer variety full off horrible spicy and musky flavours. I remember (I was probabaly 4 at the time) thinking, what manner of men would eat such things, and it gave me the deep-seated distrust of strangers which has lived with me to this day.
