Oh yeah! Loved them too. I used be a bugger as a kid! Mum would send us to the shops for whatever and she'd never notice that her change was a penny or 2 short. 2p would at give me a handful, great

I can remember when Fruit Salads and Blackjacks were 4 for a penny. I think they were 4 for an old penny at one time, which became ½ new pence. They were great for kids from big families Razz

Yellow stuff {don't know what, candy possibly?} wie sherbet in the middle, magic!

And what the hell was the name of they chewing gums I mentioned earlier? The one's with the mad cough medicine type stuff in side, with a dusting of power {only light mind you}.

I rememeber the advert being kinda trying to portray these things as being kinda futuristic {in a kinda 80's view of what futristic was}...

And bubblies!! Wrapped in like greasy proof paper, round,and made of that kinda germaline bubble gum that you got in the late 70's/early 80's that really tested the fixture of your teeth in their gum sockets; and that chewing gum you used to get with packets of collector's cards.

Think there must have been a crap gum factory, where the boss had some kinda really nasty dirty on the likes of the high heid yins of the like of Panini and those other companies that produced those cards; possibly caught in compromising positions with their secreteries, whilst they had told their respective spouses they were 'working late at the office, but in reality were away tripping the light fantastic, laughing heartly whilst their poor down trodden spouses were at home, dilligently tending to the vital household and familial matters, that held together they home lives and the overall bliss domestic mudanities that were they're lives- when they were not away screwing their secreteries.

Or maybe it had nothing to do with that all...

Haven't seen a secret bar in years. Was kinda like a shredded wheat made of choccy with a fluffy fondant centre. Not the best but memorable.
