losing, not loosing, I wish we had an edit function!

Right then, back to sweets again. The best Highland Toffee bars were the ones covered in chocolate. If I was really lucky, I might be allowed to have a Highland Toffee and a Wham Bar from the Ice Cream man..

Staying with Chewy bars, anyone remember Stripers? Those multicoloured bars?

yeah and whatever Munchies used to be called, anyone?

The mint munchies used to be called mintos didnt they?

Remember TAB Clear?

Oh yes, the sort of clear Cola with no sugar, wasn't it?

Staying with soft drinks, anyone remember Quattro? This was very like Lilt but was supposed to contain 4 fruits.

Jawbreakers and Fireballs?

It was fun being a kid.

Limited edition Chocolate Biscuit Twix with Orange Toffee!!!

Nerds and Dweebs!!

Good old Christmas selection boxes, and you could guarantee that it would be the Bounty bar that would be the last one left.

Missed out on all that Deep Fried Mars Bar malarkey. Isn't it a Glasgow thing? Maybe we should tell our Paisley friend.

DanB, everytime I've gone to a conference (huge international meeting to tiny local event), I've got a certificate of attendence? maybe it's a medical thing...

I love bounty bars too! What gets left in giant tins of Roses/Quality Street in your family homes at Christmas? In our house, it was always the nasty creams left at the end (all the toffees and fudges were eaten first). My friend's family used to do the complete opposite

I always liked the creams and my mum liked nutty ones.

Of course, in the old days before Celebrations etc. it was just Roses vs Quality Street.

Which were you? We were definitely Roses.

which ones do toffee penny? Thats my favourite and the purple brasil nut ones.

FYI: I am deeply upset no-one picked up on my hilarious Joan Osborne song-lyric gag on the v.serious thread about religion in response to Dan B's question what if god was one of us?
Does anyone else remember that song........?
I guess it's back to singing to my my cat, at least she laughs at my jokes and enjoys my songs *hangs head in shame & looks for puss*

Just a stranger on the bus....
