Strawberry bonbon like the ones you have to get from behind the counter in the big glass jars and take home in a little paper bag.

I've searched high and low and I’ve never been able to ones which taste the same

I loved the red boiled candy that came with a lolly pop stick in a little round foil dish. Don't know what it was called and not seen them since primary. God knows how I still have nice teeth

I think they’re called candy sticks now and they dont have the pink bit on the end. So not really sweet cigarettes anymore

"Proper sized Curly-Wurlys "

The trouble with Curly-Wurlys is that all the chocolate breaks off when you bite / stretch the caramel, makes a right mess on the upholstery!
