What are your favouite sweets from long ago?
What are your favourite sweets/chocolate from your childhood. There are still some that you can buy even now. Like sherbet fountains and red liquorice, black jacks. My favourite of all was American Cream soda with a black liquorice to dip in. Mmmm.

I used to looooove nerds, pixie sticks & fun dip (basically pixie stick powder with a candy stick you lick & dip with). I thought fun dip had disappeared but nope, I just saw some the other day & HAD to buy it for old time's sake. Now, my only issue is getting around to opening & eating it cause I'm not a big sweets person. lol.
