Now I wanted to call this "Old sweeties that you don't get anymore...or you do get but just somehow or another ain't as good as they used to be" but for reasons of space I could do; but have now {arrgghh , enough already - slap!}

Right, down to business...

Anybody remember Texan Bars? Now they used to be really good - don't have a clue what they were made of, nogart and chocolate I think,- anyway they were magic!! But then they {the evil omnipotent sweetie lords of the underworld} took them of the market, brought them back about six mths later and then they were rubbish. So rubbish, that me and my friends had to start taking recreational drugs to get the same effect.

Oh and on that subject Space Dust... I've no seen that in ages; they should have classified that class A+ /pure evil. What Crazy, child hating confectioner came up with that one, eh? I hope they {they being the other evil omnipotent lords of confectionery} and hunted him down like a dog!

Spangles -what a bad name in retrospect- they were rubbish!!

Chelsea Whoppers - what the f£ck were they made of?

Do you still get Double Dip { just started reminissing {?} about scramble and defender there..} do you still get them?

MacCowans toffee bars and Daintys were the mutts - oh by the way MacCowan's has since gone down the tubes just a few months ago - good people of Dundee I lament you...

And why did they change the name of Space Invaders to Space Raiders?

You're as mad as a pancake!!!! lol

Anyway, sherbert fountains always used to be my fave. I think you can still get them, but they're just not the same. And curly-wurly.... what happened to them?!! They're awful now and I'm sure they're half the size they used to be!!

I was afraid that I may be showing a powered sugar bias there.

Wham bars? Pure nuts!! I'd have one of them and be frightening motorists with my newly found Steve Austin bionic powers, thinking I could out run them to the next lamppost from a standing start at the stank {manhole grill for non-Scots}.

Do you remember Tiger Nuts, I do.............I last bought some about 20 years ago, but 10 years prior to that, they seemed to taste so much better

*stares blankly at the screen*


Right, I just asked my mum about this stuff.
She said Texan Bars were THE nicest chocolate bar ever.

They're an effn endangered species - and nae bloody wonder!, what with you eating all their f£(kn nuts!!

*sighs*

"Nae"

Good ol' Glasgow.

Don't know why they ever messed about with them - ahh...

Think maybe they {the evil they referred to earlier} thought it was about bloody time I grew up.

Glad to report, they failed!! Whey Hey!!!

Don't Wotsits make a hell of a mess of yir carpet.

Whilst on the topic of crisps {I've decided that they count to, and even though Wotsits are more of a corn based snack, but so are Space invaders/Raiders after all}, how good are crisps on a roll!! Good when hung over and helpless...

milky bar's used to be really nice, something happened to them, they don't taste same anymore, less creamy somehow.
i remember curly wurly's..getting stuck round my teeth.

yeah the double dips are still goin...only they're called dip dab's now. lol stupid name

smiley bars!!!! like chomps only orange flavoured toffee!!!! yum.

rainbow drops!

where do they goooo?

Anybody remeber thaat chewing gum that had that shit that was like cough flamable cough medicine in the middle and had were cover with a thin powdering of like chalk dust - they were crap tae...

And Haribo , arghhh don't get me started!!

Just started laughing out there at how angry I got thinking about crap sweeties!!!
