I loved them Sherbert packs wee the liquorice sticks in them(Can you still get them?) and Macaroon Bars.

Wham bars were magic.

Pretty sure Auntie Betty's in Stonehaven sell those sherbet dabs still. Probably about £2 a go now mind!

Always liked Cadbury Tiffin, they brought it back as a special in small bars for a bit a few years ago but gone once again ☹️

Sherbert Fountains

[manboobs109]

Really bad for you but a bit tablet with a cup of tea is hard to beat. I've tried making it but it's a bit of a hassle.

Aye that's them.

Loved those wee chocolate tools you used to get for 2p in the early eighties 

wham and refresher bars were a chewy delight as well.

half penny sweets like chocolate mice and buttons-great

choc nibs/nibz/nibbles (depending where your from) still get them but a poorer quality

You still get the chocolate tools but they are 10p now. The shop at my bit has loads of pick and mix. They sell loads of the American shit that's really sour or sweet. The wee man is banned from them but the nippers are mad for them. I'm fairly sure they cause growth abnormalities.

I remember buying cinnamon sticks that were just dried sticks of the tree(or bush) that you sucked.

[manboobs109]

I used to sell macaroon bars, coconut ice, tablet, door to door and in my school. The whole business model was dodgy as fuck I now realise. Used to put my scouts uniform on so people would think it was for charity.

I doubt you'd be able to do that now.

I don't think one ever actually choked but that was the reason given for taking the toys out.
