Retro Sweets and Food you likely had when growing up - How many do you remember?

I remember the Horlicks tablets. They weren't half bad! Tab Clear was gross (but I don't like fizzy drinks in general). I miss the plastic tops on Smarties, but I guess they aren't very eco-friendly.

I miss my childhood. I had every single one of those products as a kid. (edited)

I found it searching on Google but it takes me to the Asda homepageI think the Dennis and Gnasher Mud Pies were the same as the ones you're referring to now as I'm almost certain they were made by the same company (Rose), possibly just didn't want to stop selling them but their license with Beano expiredRead lessRead more

I could not find them on the Asda site either. Could be a regional thing. 100% Picked some up about a month ago in the Midlands. £1 for a pack of three .

Did they change it to one with a sort of yellow and black checkered pattern at some point? I might be remembering something else but it certainly rings a bellThank you. I will keep an eye out at my local stores. Do you happen to know if it was on the main confectionery aisle or perhaps a seasonal aisle? World foods aisle? I'm not sure if they are made hereThanks again, much appreciated Read lessRead more

Pretty sure just with the normal sweets and chocolates. Don't think it has a world aisle

Pyramints!! I loved these as a kid

Another classic gone too soon

Shh! It's a...

everyone had one of these when I was little

Don't know if it was the same elsewhere in the UK, but in Glasgow we would call the frozen Kwenchy Kups "Jubilees". No idea where the name came from though.

Frufoo yoghurts!

These little beauties

Just remembered these, chocolate cigarettes. Pretend to smoke one then spend ages trying to unwrap the wet paper from the chocolate. It wasn't even nice chocolate.

Anyone else miss these?

These acted like quick set cement once chewed, totally different now though

Ha ha this thread is still going, I had to dig deep in memory banks for this one...

Don't remember the Stick Up myself and the Winner looks like a rip off of a Fab.

My fave in the 70's

Loved them!
Used to get them in Boots.
They stopped making them in the early 90's, but I remember going to Hong Kong y3ears ago and they still sold them! (edited)

I've just remembered one that will blow your mind... ...


Amazing.

Boxes of candy sticks/cigarettes with a free sticker/temporary tattoo included. Maybe this is a controversial one - so feel free to remove mods?

Personally I didn't like the actual taste of these sweets. They seemed to taste chalky to me.

Learn something new everyday! Thought you ment these at first

Maybe where the name came from, not researched it or anything!

Included bubble gum stick in every pack, hence inclusion!
