We would eat the liquorice when it got too soggy to suck up the sherbet and put the granules in a saucer,mix it with a bit of tap water and slurp up the froth!
I remember when walking to school in 1968 I found a half crown on the pavement. That was serious cash for an eight year old. I went to the shop near the school and bought a big bag of mixed sweets.
I loved the sweets yes we did not have sweets every day it was a treat I loved Saturday morning pictures buy your tub of ice cream or a lolly. We are all blessed to have had those days and great times for us all. To be able to look back
Oh wow loads of memories took me back to when l was six thank you l had the wrapping of the wombles chocolate bars all over my books for school great days thank you my friend Peter t darlington 👍👍👍👍
Omg the Milky Bar advert... that just brought tears to my eyes. Going to the corner shop and getting 2 pence worth of whatever, sweet peanuts, sour apples, chocolate toffee drops, then asking "how much?" when you went to pay haha! We used to do the same with the alluminium foil wrappers for the blind, I had your same thpughts back then. What a brilliant video, cheers mate!!
There used to be a little sweet shop near where we lived which used to be full of jar of sweets - acid drops, bonbons, kayli, sherbet lemons, black jacks and many many more that I cannot remember. One toffee bar I remember was Highland Toffee - we used to suck it to see how long we could stretch the toffee bar out
Love the trip down memory lane 😜 Great. I remember all the Sweet's and you got your money's worth then, unlike today big price small portion. It's true what they say, has you get older, things get smaller and the prices go up. Love your channel 😍 brilliant 👌👍🙌😀 I would love to get some retrospective sweetie's and the right size and the price I paid back in the 60s.👍
My dad had a shop in the good old days when the choc bars were so thick and so much better with less sugar than today. I must admit I tried them all but Spanish Gold was just out of this world . My taste buds have a great memory !!
I loved The Spanish Gold in mid 60's when it was really thin. In later years it was thicker and didn't have the same coconut:brown sugar ratio. Even so,the taste was fenominal 😊
What a wonderful walk down a sugar filled memory lane! My favourites were cherry lips, floral gums, aztec and amazin' raisin' chocolate bars & funny face ice cream. Thanks for the memories! 🍭🍬🍫😋👍
I remember with my pocket money buying the strawberry pink bubble gum called Bazooka Loved messing with it. At junior school opposite was the local newsagent. I would go in and ask for 1 penny bag of ‘teeth rotters’ Black cat sweets👍 👍 I would have eaten them by the time I went into school. Yes everything was full of sugar but you had plenty of exercise at school and at home. Sherbet was just fantastic I’d eat a lot of it Caylie (spelling?) was fantastic Dip Dabs😀😀😀😀👍 👍 Treats as well Animal bars👍 👍 Bar Six and Old Jamaica bar And lastly Parma Violets❤️❤️❤️👍 👍 👍
Brilliant! Barrets sherbet fountain tubes are a modern shadow of their former selves - plastic false liquorice. Uck! Sweet tobacco my favourite too. Bazooka Joes were great for the cartoons, loved them. So many fantastic memories from lots of those. Popeye candy sticks (aka cigarettes) were great for stuffing in a few at a time - no doubt junk but tasted super! And I've never been a smoker despite consuming even the ones with the red 'lit' ends, lol! The milky bar kid was on one of the funny chat shows two or three years ago (Graham Norton maybe?).There are a few shops (one in Glasgow Barrowland area) where you can get some of these old memory sweets. Nice to catch one of your excellent videos again. Take care! ATB, Terry
I forgot about the Confederate money. I've been zoomed beck to my childhood. There was a PK chewing gum machine at our grocers and if the arrow on the handle was facing west, you got 2 packs.
Bazookas , licorice pipes with little sweets on top , sweet tobacco, 4 uncle joes for a penny ❤️ kola lumps, penny Arrow bars , spearmint bars , happy days , didnt know you couldnt eat the paper on the chocolate cigs , i ate it 😅
Sweet tobacco my favourite I still buy that now as a rare treat and cinder toffee, anyone remember the big sugar mice? I used to love those twenties boxes of mini chocolate bars and I do remember the Bubbly bubble gum and how hard it was, my poor teeth!
I once spent all my pocket money on Black Jacks and Fruit Salad. 2/6 x 4 chews for 1d = 120 sweets! Cost me a fortune in dental bills over the years. My only clear memory of my grandma (Nan) who died when I was 5, was the fact she kept a supply of Nuttall's Mintoes. More unusual were Cadbury's Lucky Numbers.
You mean Bubble Gum . . You can't blow bubbles with chewing gum. . Beech Nut chewing gum was in vending machines outside - a 1p would buy a little pack of 4, but every 4th penny would vend an extra pack !

you can still get it loose but will it taste the same?
LOved Spanish Gold too! You could end up with a mouthful of very well sooked coconut. Excellent.

That Batmann badge now worth a few quid.. I remember it well. Happy days.

Great memories..be interested to compare weights and sizes in those days compared to today's rip offs ! !
its a massive rip off now
I'm suddenly hungry,great stuff.
thank you
Oh yes, I,d forgotten Spanish gold. That was a good one.
amazing flavour
Anyone remember the PROPER red liquorice before they started making it soft and strawberry flavoured? I loved that stuff 😋
I remember it
I forgot about the Confederate money. I've been zoomed beck to my childhood. There was a PK chewing gum machine at our grocers and if the arrow on the handle was facing west, you got 2 packs.
Brilliant..... although I think I just put on 1/2 stone just watching 🤔
we were so much more active then
I remember sucking the sherbert fountain and almost choked to death ha ha never had one since, still see it in the shops now.
the power on back of your throat, gagging for a drink lol
Bazookas , licorice pipes with little sweets on top , sweet tobacco, 4 uncle joes for a penny ❤️ kola lumps, penny Arrow bars , spearmint bars , happy days , didnt know you couldnt eat the paper on the chocolate cigs , i ate it 😅
wow, I had completely forgotten about Spanish Gold, didn't know they still made it, I will have to look out for that.
just called sweet cocconut strands now I think
I loved golden cup
Sweet tobacco my favourite I still buy that now as a rare treat and cinder toffee, anyone remember the big sugar mice? I used to love those twenties boxes of mini chocolate bars and I do remember the Bubbly bubble gum and how hard it was, my poor teeth!
suprised we have any teeth left
Some good memories. We bought sweets once or twice a week with our pocket money or occasionally were given some just a treat.
thats how it was back then money was tight

You mean Bubble Gum . . You can't blow bubbles with chewing gum. . Beech Nut chewing gum was in vending machines outside - a 1p would buy a little pack of 4, but every 4th penny would vend an extra pack !
😀
What was the type of chewing gum that you got out of a vending machine, and every fifth one, you got two, instead of one ?
Beachnut I think
Also PK and YZ.. remember?
@@sixtieschild1035 Yes B nut too.
Yes
