After reading LKs thread on his dark choc (which i love) got me trying to remember the sweets i used to eat as a kid. Splicer bars,parma violets and sweet peanuts come to mind but cant think of many more. Refresh my memory folks. What did you chomp on as a nipper?

Can you remember "Pacers" they were lovely Thumbs Up!

Strawbery Bon Bons which had the sherbert all over them, cant seem to get them around here anymore Sad

Chewy nuts Thumbs Up!

Jun 2009 at 06:27 Didn't the liquorice tube in a sherbet fountain used to have a hole running through it so that you could suck the sherbet, get it wrong, inhale it and cough your lungs up? Now they are solid which to me defeats the object of calling it a sherbet fountain Bet it's H&S again

I wonder if that was the same as the Dime bar? Undecided

Different thing Zulu, Dime bars were square and flat and had `crispy bits` in. Texan was about Mars bar size with hard-as-hell toffee in chocolate. (both were deeelish though) And just to get on my soap-box for a second - Marathons were DEFINATELY bigger than Snickers!!! Angry
