Is there anything from your childhood or more recent that you liked but they dont make any more?

Sure they used to make the nestle munchies when i was a child with a turkish delight centre, can any one remember those?

Also Mcvities sport biscuits in the blue and white striped wrappers

ooo that's one of my faves, don't see the green packet one either.

We are spoilt in Horwich as we have the best sweetie shop ever that has all the oldies in. Have to cross over to stop me going in every day though.

Got some popping candy in the cupboard that I keep meaning to give Rhett a BJ with

The problem today is huge companies buying up all the small ones and making everything the same, walkers for example swallowed up tudor which was a crying shame and on top of that the health police spoiling all the tasty ingredients, they wont be happy till everyone is eating rabbit food.

Bring back the unhealthy stuff that actually tasted nice instead of this healthy crap that tastes like carboard!

Sweet Tatties - maybe just a scottish thing, but a novelty sweet made to look like a potatoe.

Less likely to get banned than sweets made to look like cigarettes, but also did not last.

What about beer can openers before the days of ring pulls so you could open your sweet heart stout?

Izal - Oooo the luxury! - When I was a lad ...

We had an old lady who lived next door who kept the Izal for special guests only - everday use was squares of old newspapers kept on a string!
