double-trouble Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Valentines day and er indoors has bought me as a treat a sherbert fountain ( you remember the ones with the liquorice stick ) . After getting over the shock and searching the house for a present that was more substantial it got me thinking of my younger days , again .What else did we get as kids to suck and chew on after school .A 10p mix up would last all night as kids and included various flavour mojos , fruit salads , blackjacks , twizzlers , sherbert saucers , cheroots and many more .What were your memories and favourites , some are still around while some are making a comeback ?

I liked Astros when i was a little younger - don't know what happened to them.She's a good un .Or maybe she's taking the pis* .Shopping done and she's got a little prezzie at the bottom of the carrier .A quarter of the white and a quarter of the brown chocolate drops with the hundreds and thousands on them . What are they called ?? Was it Jazzies or Drizzles ??Apoplogies as I thought she'd dipped into them on the way home , she's suitably informed me they are a hundred grams each .

zookeeper Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 To go with your retro sweets you can also get some retro clothing at truffle shuffleThey've got some quality t-shirts on there and also a bristol company! And no I don't work for them, just everything on here has been retro related fro the past few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
