spangles
Golden Nuggets bubble gum.
Pacers(mint opal fruits),spangles,texan bar,rice paper and a chocolate bar called cobana,it was lovely.Bazooka bubble gum.
Redskins (a musk coloured and flavoured chewy bar) and those little packets of Fags (lolly cigarettes with red ends painted on just like real lit cigarettes), though, due to over the top political correctness, they're now called stix.

I used to love the huge gobstoppers that were giant aniseed balls sold at around 2 old pence each in the late 40's, they were for some reason not on the sweet ration and were more freely available. I used to sit in the Saturday Morning pictures for children, and one would last the whole time we were in there. We had competition to see whose could last the longest. The other memory was for the Barley Sugar Twists. The were about half inch in diameter and a foot long and were made in a spiral of Barley sugar. These to could be sucked at and lasted for ever or broken into bite size pieces. Cannot get either of these now.
spangles, treets and skydivers crisps
