Wham bars are too small now and dont have as many bits in it anymore, thats f***ing outrageous

Fry's chocolate cream bar with multi flavoured fruit filling in each bit (Fry's Five Centres, previously Frys Five Boys) - now it's just the mint version (and I think an unfindable orange-only one)

The apparently unfindable orange-only one is currently available from Pipers the Newsagent in Heathfield.

and I agree 100% with the sentiment of this thread.

(which is not something that has ever happened before)

CHEWITS

there used to be a Chewits factory in the next town over, entire town smelt sickly sweet cause of it. Great for the first few minutes, not after that!

I hate liquorice but I love sherbet. Used to buy the Fountains just for the sherbert and chuck the straw away, so not bothered by the lack of straw sticking out. However I fear something will be lost by the absence of a tube you can squeeze to get the last bit of sherbert out of. I will have to stick to Sherbert Dip Dabs instead. Or flying saucers.

Re Smarties: not only do they look rubbish but taste rubbish too these days

When I were a lad you could buy sweet cigarettes, sweet matches, sweet pipe tobacco (that was nice) and liquorice pipes. Did they turn me into a smoker? - no - but my teeth fell out!

you can still buy a licorice crack pipe and sherbert cocaine with candy razor blade to chop it

These would have your fillings out very quickly!!

Wagon Wheels are microscopic now as well. Or am I just getting bigger?

I can't remember the name of it-DIB DAB or something but you got one half of cherry powder and the other orange with a crunchy stick on the left.

I used to buy at least half a dozen every Sunday lunchtime after church.Marvellous.Watching 'Bullseye' early evening having rotted my teeth with them.I don't know if they're still about.

Wagon Wheels are OUTRAGEOUSLY vile.

Someone told me once that Wagon Wheels were the final outlet for biscuits made by the same manufacturer that were about to go on the turn. They certainly tasted like it, although they were, as I recall,the only chocolate sold at the back of the west stand at the Goldstone in the 80s.

Instead of CCF, I used to 'Granny Bash'

We've all done it. I kicked three coffin dodgers sticks away in an afternoon once.

Double Dip, I believe. They are still about, in some kind of bastardised format.
