FabSwingers.com forum: Here’s 20p - what’s going into your penny sweets bag?

By (user no longer on site) OP

Right Fabbers, here’s a virtual 20p and a small white paper bag.

What penny sweets are you buying?

I’m gonna chuck in some foam strawberries, cola bottles, mojo’s, fruit salads, and a packet of those sweet cigarettes that you used to be able to buy in the 1980s

What’s going into your bag?

Noticed quite a few red and pink colour sweets...will all be cochineal.... getting that sicky feeling thinking about eating crushed beetle privates, brains, legs, shit all crushed together...to give you that lovely red colour.

Let's here it for natural colour in kids sweets... Beetles are a lovely thing compared to....I'll say no more. Clearly lots of sweet lovers here

A lot of sweets contain gelatine. Gelatine, as Wikipedia tells us, is a mixture of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs, and fish.

Mmmm they’re still delish though!

Knowledge is better than living in the dark. You are what you eat. I wouldn't eat anything without knowing what's in it, but that's me, not you.

I'm sure your intelligent enough to realise you have the facts, rather than live in the dark.

You can now make your own informed decision on continuing to eat shite or not.

People should wake up a little. This stuff will kill you

Cant get anything for 20p these days, i remember a fredo was about 5p now there about 30p

My favs... fizzy cola bottles, golf balls, eye poppers, fizzy half blue half pink bottles, flying saucers, fizzy watermellon and peach thingys, twist n squeeze, the ice cream with the ball of chewing gum at the bottom, fire balls, jaw breakers, wham bars, refresher bars, black jacks and fruit salads... yum

"See the OP being a bit tight with the 20p. Should have a least a quid.

ha I said way back up there ^^ that my base was 1980s prices!

Although 20p would have been a fortune to me back then - 10p was the actual standard I used to get! "

Cool got the half penny sweets then

The Corona van with the large bottles of dandelion & burdock for a Sunday treat. Am sure very few will remember that!

London

Kola Cubes (How many times did I cut the roof of my mouth sucking these!)

Lemon Sherbets (Ditto!)

Mojos (3 for 1/2 a penny!)

Space Dust (I once has a dog, who just loved sticking his wet nose in the packet and then freaking out and jumping like a dog possessed - then he'd come back for more. Just nuts!)

Spangles (Cola and Orange where my favourites)

Great thread!

Some Lazers bit like a long thin Cola Cube, an ice cream cone with marshmallow & sprinkles on instead of ice-cream, and some cola-bottles that I was convinced you could tip up and "drink" or suck the brown cola bit out
