Do you remember those bags of chocolate Mis-shapes you used to be able to get?
I don't know whether they were Cadburys or Rowntrees, but they were the chocolates that weren't quite the right shape to go in the boxes.
Rejects in other words.
It was such a treat to share one of those!..
You don't see them now... all the chocs must be made the perfect shape!..

I miss some biscuits from way back too...
Lemon puffs, gypsy creams.
The reason some of these chocs have disappeared is that I ate them all

I remember the Candy Cigs, The sherbert dips, and Lucky Bags.
I also remember when Starbursts were known as Opal Fruits.

Thats a good question... I can't even remember what was in them!... ..I think you got a small toy or something as well as sweets though..
I remember Spangles.. Do you remember the 'Old Fashioned' Spangles that tasted different?

I think Snickers was the American name for them.
I don't like them...
I much prefer 'Double Deckers.'

After looking at that Spangles Site..
I realised they weren't 'Old Fashioned' They were Old English Flavour...
Whatever 'Old English' tastes like?????
