Polo sticing together in one big lump😂😂 remember it well
Fruit Polo was great but especially in summer you needed a chisel to separate them.😂
Drop the packet on the floor, and they broke into tiny shards, like glass. 😂
I wonder if you realise how much joy you bring with these videos? thanks a million, a right trip down memory lane
That's great to hear. Thanks so much.
Toffo assorted,,,, the best !!!!! 👍🏴😉
Tooty frooties were my favourite.. the closest I can find today are skittles
I loved Blobs and Double Agents; I remember making invisible ink with Mum's Jif lemon she was saving for pancake day 😊
Fantastic!
Oh god! Toffos were amazing.
❤Woolworths pick and mix.
Miss that 👍
Grrrr! I agree with you Stu- Nestle sure have deprived us of so many of our favourite sweets and snacks! Btw, would love to see the return of the Nutty bar...
Oh yes, the Nutty was great!
Here in the US we have Payday. I told my American wife that my dad used to take a Nutty bar to work every day and it so similar to Nutty Bars!
By the way,my dad's work bag was a Wombles one (canvas) with Orinoco or Great Uncle Bulgaria printed onto it.
@@alanprior7650 Wow really? I'm going to see if Payday is available in the UK. Thanks Alan 👍
Bring back Nutty!
I remember taking marbles to school in a Gold Rush bag haha. At Christmas I’d always get one of those cardboard and string stockings full of various sweets. The Spangles would always be left uneaten, often sitting in my room until the summer when they’d melt and finally get thrown out 😄
Totally agree on the Pacers though. What a lovely flavour and texture they had and need to come back. Banana Toffos were also a favourite.
Thank you for jogging some wonderful memories 🫶❤
My pleasure!
I love Jelly Tots which you can still buy. Anyone remember Dentine chewing Gum ? Tasted like Cloves and Space Dust that popped in your mouth !
Yes! It was the only sweet my mum would allow after we'd been to the dentist! Loved the flavour!
@@Goldi3loxrox I remember Dentine. Tasted a bit unusual. Wasn't it one of the first sugar free gums you could buy? I also remember Wrigley's PK that came in little packs and you got five pellets for 5p. Had a liquorice taste and you could also get it from vending machines
Another fantastic nostalgic trip down memory lane. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the memories! Many thanks.
Nestle ruined Macintosh / Rowntrees and I not bought any of their products since the late 80's.
and they are only 12 miles from my boat mooring
True. They are also buying up free water rights and selling it back to people too. Buxton being one, thousands more around the world. That said, rowntrees chocolate was better than nestles.
I worked for Nestlè in Australia.
My dad worked for Rowntree Mackintosh from the late 1960s till the early 90s. He made KitKats and all their great biscuits. Nestle shut the place down after the take over, left folk with nothing. A company led by despicable people.
@@Theagchm Wow, that's terrible. In Australia they took over a company called Allen's confectionery & I had a good time working for them. Good pay, conditions, coat & boots supplied, cheap meals. We made jelly confectionery like snakes, pythons, strawberries, chikos, and a couple of lines for New Zealand. Sorry they weren't as nice in the UK.
The junior school that I went to in the 1970's (Shaftesbury junior school) was next door to the Trebors factory in Katherine Road in East London. The smell drifting across our playground was lovely!
'Spangles' always reminded me of 'Tunes' - the cough sweets. Probably their shape. Anyone else think that?
'Ohhh Malcolm'...actually that was Vicks Sinex :)
Yes
Fizzy cola spangles !
👍the fizzy cola Spangle was the holy grail to us 70s kids, with a can of frothy Cresta to drink with it.
Pacers most definitely 😊
Oh yes!
I often think of the original Toffos. My Grandad used to do a bit of lorry driving and he'd pick up big brown bags of single flavoured ones. Maybe it's more him I want back though because those things used to suck your 70s teeth fillings out and a lot of us seemed to end up with those 😥
Yes! Toffos were amazing! I really miss Pacers, never understood why they disappeared. Also I remember Refreshers used to be as big as Love Hearts but later shrank. Also used to buy Bazooka bubble gum in flat slabs with football cards in the same pack which I used to collect and swap at school. I don’t remember the Ipso sweets at all only TicTacs
Toffo, Tooty Frooties and Polo Fruits need to make a comeback!
That Double Agent advert is so funny! I don't remember them but it really made me chuckle. 😂
You broke my heart when you just said fruit Polos were retired last year, and I had no idea Tooty Fruities had been retired. You made me smile when you reminded me about Lime and Chocolate double agents!!! I remember they had little activities printed inside the label. But yes. Toffos. Fruit flavoured Toffos. We need them back.
I'll be honest, I never liked Pacers as I don't like Spearmint.
Poppets were my fav long time ago...
Yes choc raisin Poppets yum!
@@captaincluster316 Yeah, wasn't it Max Wall who did the advert for those? They were very nice.
I have just realised Poppets can still be bought in large share bags, I'm referring to the Poppets we bought in the small cardboard box with a small open/close tab. Might buy them again though!
Yeah, the fruit creme ones. 😋
@@mgthestrange9098Thanks for the reminder 🤯
Another great list. We always seemed to have packets of Toffo's in our house, loved them. Vividly remember seeing those Double Agents adverts in the cinema alongside the Pearl and Dean trailer. Also Pacers were what attendees of my comprehensive school were called on account of our white/(silver) and green ties 😂
All great sweets wish we still had them today kids don't know what they are missing, thank you Stu 😊😊😊😊
My pleasure as always!
STRIPES? I bloody loved Pacers and, I agree, that's the one I'd love to see brought back out of this fine choices. I seem to recall eating them from top to bottom, biting off each strip at a time...
That was the only way to consume them, in my humble opinion 😆
Spangles all day long, all flavours!!!
Mojos, Black Jacks and Fruit Salad will be getting their own video - "Top Ten Penny Sweets in a 10p Mix"
Oh yes!
Potato puffs were only a penny
Parma violets, refreshers, love hearts ........ lovely. When I was growing up, we pretended every different colour gave us a special power. Invisibility, strength, flight .... How our young minds worked.
I love this channel, reminds me so much of my infant and teenage years, and, of course, of the TUC shop at school.
Glad you enjoy the channel. Thanks!
Ah yes, we were big into the trade unions in our school too.
Toffo was moreish anyone remember space dust or sherbet fountain.
Sherbet flying saucers and White Mice.
Wrigley's Spearmint (the traditional thin sticks) were discontinued at the end of 2022 without anyone noticing. We all miss scraping that off our shoes.
Those old adverts takes you right back! 🧡💛💛
Oh yes, pure nostalgia!
I still miss Tooty Frooties 😢
The early 80s best time for sweeties ever !!
I was 15 in January 1980. It was a great time to grow up.
Love these videos! 😊❤️
Of all the sweets mentioned today, Tooty Fruitys are the ones I miss the most ❤💛💚🧡💜
Glad you like the videos Stacy. Many thanks!
When I was younger, and I admit even now, I was and am, fascinated by codes, ciphers and cryptography. When Double agents came out, I was over the moon and couldn't wait to decrypt the secret message on the wrapper.
Surprised fruit polos only discontinued that recently- would have guessed 10 years ago plus.
Also tooty frooties was my go-to sweet as a very young kid.
It does seem like Fruit Polos have been gone for longer.
Filling pullers toffo.
I always found those polo's sticky and always stuck together, wasn't a fan.
@lucius4556 it was perhaps left in our pockets, heated up &stuck together, some memorials amongst them,only found out the other day they discontinued topic bars.i also liked those tangy twiglets..
@@andywrong3247 Yea you could be right, I was a big fan of the cherry blobs moreso, think they wrapped them individually.
Tootie Frooties for me, but sweet tobacco and sweet cigarettes were fab! I was amazed to find the Tunes had gone. The Body Shop Christmas scent was just like a cherry tune, although I got very blank looks when I suggested that.
I loved Spanish Gold. Also, I remember Golden Cup and in the 60s there were little boxes off chocolate covered toffees called Toffets. We usually got them from vending machines at Seacombe Ferry Terminal (Mersey) and railway stations.
Opal Mints made to make your mouth water!
And Opal Fruits ❤
I still have cravings for Pacers!
Me too!
Ah yea pacers, loved them. Loved the old English spangles too, until i was sick when eating a blackcurrant one, cant eat anything blackcurrant to this day 😂
Thanks once again Stuview, you make us 70s kids reminisce and smile.😉 I really can't remember most of these sweets? I'm pleased to say I wasn't a sweets kid (that's why I've kept all of my original teeth today, except one)! I 💖 Fruit Polos, but true they had to tendency to stick to one another and the Spangles - Fizzy Cola was refreshing. Tooty Frootees, were sickly like Skittles and Toffos stuck to your teeth, the banana flavour was the best. The rest completely evaded me! 😮
Thanks as always Brian.
Oh what i wouldn't give for a packet of Spangles ❤❤❤. I remember eating Spanish as well. Great sweetie memories. Now, does anyone remember Mo-Jo's? Little spearmint chews, 4 for an old penny.
All of these sweets were fantastic. The memories flooding back thanks Stu.
My pleasure!
I loved Polo Fruits and Tootie Fruities but Spangles were no 1 Especially the Older English Liked Pacers too Wasn't that bothered about Toffo but if that was the only option I'd eat them all lol I'd never heard of the others Another brilliant reminder of my childhood
I think the Old English variety were my favourite Spangles too.
WOW i remember the boxes of Ipso,but not the sweets lol.Core memory unlocked.... Rainbow drops or Flumps!
Brought back some memories there Stu. I'd forgotten about nearly all of them. I would never have been able to connect the "Hurry up, you'll miss ya train" advert to Ipso but I remember saying it to a lad I'd just met on the first day of high school in 1980 and we became best mates for those high school years.
I remember nearly all of these. But
I think my taste has changed over the last 45 years as I wouldn’t be in a hurry to buy any of these again even though I loved them all as a kid.
Possible exception might be Toffo!
Another great video Stu.
Thanks Alan.
Being a fan of Lego I loved the Ipso sweets just because the boxes were like Lego. Though I can’t remember if I ever tried using them with Lego or if they were compatible with it.
Some of my other favourites in this list were the Gold Rush bubble gum, Tootie Frooties and Toffos especially the mixed fruit flavours.
Thanks for the video , great nostalgia once again. Did anybody notice Nicholas Lyndhurst at the beginning of the Spangles advert and Pogo Patterson from Grange Hill at the end. I loved Banana Toffo and Tooty Frooties plus Pacers. Pretty much all of them really. cheers!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks!
When eating Spangles the centre used to dissolve leaving a hole. That used to cut your tongue the edges were so sharp. Happy days 😂
Hello Stu🙋♀️ Thank you for a sweet treat down Memory Lane. I was more into chocolates 🍫 than sweets 🍬🍬🍬 Strangely I don’t remember “Ipso” but the advert is familiar... I loved spear mint chewy sweets. I also remember Fox’s “Glacier Mints” and I am sure there was a Fruit Variety...(?!) Looking forward to the next Video 📹
Yes there was a fruit flavour variety of the fox's glacier mints. I liked both the mint and the fruit flavour 👍
Hello Alison! Many thanks as always. You mentioning Glacier Mints has reminded me that I haven't had any for years now. They still make them so I think I may have to get some next time I'm in the supermarket!
Double agents also helped keep down littler as the sweet wrappers had a code on them.
But yes Spangles - as advertised by Rodney and Pogo Patterson.
Had totally forgotten about Blobs and Gold Rush. Love these videos!
Many thanks!
@@stuviewtv 👍
Thanks Stu, great memory lane video. Just to remind everyone, many of the sweets you showed were made by Trebor and they were made in my own town of Chesterfield. My own favourite discontinued were Thornes butter dainties - rugby ball shaped toffee outer case and chocolate inside - delish !!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Many thanks.
Another great top 10, thank you 👍 pacers, spangles & toffo's were my fav's.😀
Top choices! Glad you enjoyed the video. Many thanks.
Im with you stu pacers were my favourite also. I can even taste them watching this video lol but I also did love toffo. Thanks again 👏👏🍻
My pleasure John!
No Way.......I was convinced Chewits would win, I certainly remember the dinosaur in the advert
And you can chew chew chew a chewit. My favourite of them all.
Chewits are still around...just about! There just aren't many flavours available now sadly.
In the 90s I bought a Chewits rucksack (which I used as a lunch bag even though I was an adult by then). You could only get it with coupons along with a postal order (remember them?) or a cheque.
Chewits and Fruitella?
Chewier than Barrow in Furness bus depot 😂
Remember that advert very well, as I lived there!
At the ripe old age of 57 your channel makes me feel old, cheers Stu 😂🤣
My absolute pleasure! 😉
I recall the first time I ever tasted Tooty Frooties. My nan bought me a bag in 1974 (I have good recall in case you ask).
Spangles 100%
Blimey this brought back so many memories and probably the reason why I have got so many fillings 😂. So spangles, blobs and double agents after eating a load of them your mouth was in tatters like chewing on broken glass 🤣 Brilliant video thank you 😊
Many thanks!
When Stu mentioned the Lime & Chocolate Double Agents you could almost hear the drool running down his chin 😂
Yes, I almost fused the microphone!
OMG! Spanish Gold!! Takes me back 50+years. We had a 'rag man' that came around the tenements offering sweets or toys for any rags. He had a suitcase of wonders! I remember him pushing his fairly large cart all by himself. He seemed to be the only source of Spanish Gold - we only had one shop a the time and it didn't stock it. I generally didn't get sweets so this was extra special.
One of my earliest memories is going up to this fairly small man in a long 'camel hair' type coat and a trilby style hat (this was around 1968/9) and handing over what rags I had pleaded form my mum - desperately hoping it was enough to get Spanish Gold. I can still see the picture so clearly in my minds eye - the wonderous contents of his large suitcase, all the bright sparling, shiny things. To this day, I still have no idea what most of his wares were! Thanks for bringing back this wonderful memory Stu.
What great memories. Many thanks!
losing Spangles was devastating for me as a kid.
this episode reminded me of Grandma's sweetie draw.
Another excellent video! I'm really enjoying your content! For me, it was Mint toffos and Tooty Fruities - I'd pretty much forgotten them, so thanks for reminding me of the days when we were all fed oodles of sugar! I now have diabetes ! I guess the good times had to come to an end sometime, sigh. I'm quietly impressed that I've still got all my teeth after all that toffee!😆
Glad you are enjoying the channel. Thanks!
Wham bars and McGowan's toffee bars. 10 and 5p each, respectively. I also loved the chocolate covered McGowan's....Mmmm!
I couldn't see what would be number 1 if it wasn't Spangles but it all makes perfect sense now :)
Gold Rush. You've given me a big smack in the nostalgia gland there sir.
i liked cola spangles. tooty fruities, were one of my all time favorites. toffo, i loved the liqurish and the chocolate from the mixed pack. i used to eat liquorish imps, which came in a little box
Trebor were the boss at coming up with interesting sweets. As well as the ones in this video, Mummies were ace. Sweets and spooky tales…what kid could resist?
Some memories here. Never tried IPSO or Gold Rush. But remember them. Fruit Polo's were always stuck together. Blobs I loved as well as Double Agent sweets. And spangles were my favourites. Especially fizzy ones. Pacers had once been Opal Mints as mentioned. And Toffo's were awesome. The Assorted ones were nice, though the chocolate one was rather bitter. I loved mint Toffo's.
I think I remember all of these. Fruit Polo's did have a habit of sticking together once the packet was opened, much like all boiled sweets of the time.
My favourite sweets from my childhood were the original acid drops. The ones that you get today calling themselves acid drops are just not the same.
😂 Fruit Polos
You just ended up eating a long multi coloured tube of fruity loveliness!
Gold Rush and Spanish Gold, I forgot all about those. Remember buying them from the newsagents on my estate in West Bromwich. And all the others !
I remember the chocolate and lime flavour Double Agents making me (and my brother) feel sick. Just the thought of that combination all these years later brings back that sickly feeling. The other three flavours were great though!
Pacers! Always my number 1! I was just starting to love them when they vanished sometime in the mid-eighties. Mint Opal Fruits really (Starburst to the kids).
They were the best!
Wish they all could come back
I remember all of these sweets. Spangles were my favourite wish they were still available
I remember all these! Although only a vague memory of Blobs and Ipso and never tried Spanish Gold. I used to love Gold Rush bubble gum and didn't know fruit polos were discontinued last year which is a shame as I would occasionally buy them when I fancied a fruit sweet, but yes they were a pain to get apart. Tooty Frooties I used to love too and the chocolate and lime Double Agents were delicious. The top 3 are definitely my top 3 too. Loved spangles, all the flavours. Pacers and Toffos were my absolute favourites though, I couldn't decide between them if I had to choose just one to come back. I loved all the flavours but especially the banana and strawberry toffos in the mixed pack and the liquorice ones as well. Thanks so much for this taken me right back to my childhood.
My pleasure!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I used to love Aztec bars, bit like a Mars bar
I stuck a Spangle up my nose when I was 5 and my dad had to take me to hospital to get it out 😂
😂😂😂
I used to love that coconut tobacco. Tried the new version and it definitely doesn’t taste the same and it looks like it’s dyed red.
Loved lemonade spangles, I can still remember the slight fizz in my mouth. So many memories of them all, change is not always a good thing 😞
I could even taste the strawberry and banana Toffo as I watched this of to the UAE for me !!
So many sweets i remember and so many sources of my teenage cavities and subsequent fillings 😩
Loved gold rush, also Spanish gold ,spangles ,the sweet I miss most icebrackers
My dad’s cousin used to work for Mars in the 70s. Always looked forward to him visiting - with a sackful of Mars products, including dozens of packets of Spangles - dentist was not happy!
I remember one or two of them, I bought some Tutti Frutti not long ago, not sure who made it.
Space Dust was something I liked, I know it's now called popping candy, it's just not the same.
Ohh jings! I remember the ipso advert! Summer 1979! Spent a week at a caravan holiday park at Clayshant near Stranraer. Great times as it was also across the road from R.A.E West Freugh and I was in my element with all the buccaneers, F4 Phantoms and a Nimrod!
Bring back SPANGLES
We used to get spangles in military ration packs back in the day!
Great video! I’d completely forgotten about Spanish Gold and Gold Rush and I used to love them. My favourites from this top ten are definitely mint toffo and pacers. I recognised Rodney but although I knew the other kids face I couldn’t name him 🤔
The other young lad is Peter Moran who played Pogo Patterson in Grange Hill.
Ah yes of course. Now I can picture him. Thank you.
Another thing I miss, corner shops selling the loose sweets in jars. Buy a quarter sherbet lemons, chocolate limes, pineapple chunks, cola cubes
And licko , ( not sure if that's how it's spelled, was powdered m & m's I think ) i always got a quarter going to school lol
@@stevenwhitelaw1306we used to call it choc lick
There are loads of retro sweet shops up and down the country and online but I know what you mean about the corner shop. Kids today will never understand the joy of going to your local sweet shop with your pocket money for comic and a bag of penny mix!!!
@@mattgardner1969 Theres one retro shop in my town Matt. The only other one I know near me is Milton Keynes. Way back all you had to do was run out the house and down the street to the corner shop and the window would be full of sweet jars
@@DAVIDE-bk8by for most modern kids I'm sure the closest to our experience is the Ole 1970s Willy Wonka with the "Candy man store".
I loved the mint toffo's
Spanish Gold absolutely loved it!
God, it was revolting! 😂
I remember buying Fruit Polo’s in the 80’s and 90’s
They were very tasty
Tooty Fruities
Once a packet was open I’d eat the lot, one after the other
Spangles - another teeth rotter I loved❤❤
Pacers I remember in the sweet shop but didn’t like them
The other brands in this video I had not heard of when I was a kid in the 70’s
😍😍🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴👍
I'm with you on the Opal Mints/ Pacers. What utter madness to end them. What about Opal Fruits though? Equally crazy to stop making them as well in my opinion
Opal fruits became Starburst.😮
Trevor lemon mints were a fave of mine, not seen them in years.
Toffo’s were fab and so we gold nuggets. Fruit polo were very sticky but good. Tooty fruities yum ..😀👍loved treats but they are so different to m and m’s
