An explanation may e in order. I had this as my avatar riefly yesterday:
Me saying "Don't ask me why, ecause I don't know." meant "Don't ask me why I've got an upside-down cockerel as my avatar." I didn't mean to make you look silly. Sorry!
ollocks the key on my keyoard won't loody work bbbb oh there it goes.

Sweet peanuts were monkey nut shaped and had a real nut inside. They were loose in jars and sold by the quarter.AndyTheGoth wrote:
I always thought that a "Sweet Peanuts" was called a "Nutty Bar" - I, of course could be wrong!

What I really need to see is the Cresta (OK it's a drink) Frosty Bear website
I have searched the net, in vain, I may add. If any EBGs remember the 'Rimsky Korsakov' ad, I'd be more than impressed.

Texan bars, they were great!
Space Dust was cool too, freaked you out when you were little especially when it hit the back of your throat(no rude gags please )
Wham bars, ever tried eating a whole one at once?(done it again )
Cresta fizzy drinks, is that the one with the ad that had the bubbles working out in a gym?

Pear drops?
Go to sleep now, Francis.
i'd like to point out the amazingness of giant buttons. they help reverse that scary feeling of wondering when buttons became smaller and then realising you're not 6 years old anymore and now have big hands.

Bought a 1/4 of each of these when I was driving up to some blighted northern away match recently. Very nice but all that sugar made my teeth itch.
I'll stick with Jelly Babies in future, unless I can find authentic toffee bonbons. You remember. Candy shell covered in absurd amounts of icing sugar that your mam could never get out of the upholstery. Bite into a sugary, caramel mess that took some serious chewing to get under control. When I was eight I had a jaw like Desperate Dan and perpetual neck-ache.
Happy days.
Names are just a souvenir ...

I remember Toffee Bonbons. You could get lemon and strawberry ones as well, but the toffee ones were my favourite too. Sherbert lemons and strawberries too. And a can of Spar's own coke cost 5p. Don't remember having to lick the road clean though.
Go to sleep now, Francis.

actually, you kind of grow out of wanting them when they're there for the taking.
