Do you remember the chocolate tools from the pick and mix? I used to love going to the corner shop and getting my little basket and filling it with penny sweets!

I used to have chocolate 'cigarettes' - sticks of choccy with rice paper on the outside. I bet you can't get those now! The ironic thing is I've never smoked, and never even tried a real cigarette!

Me too and I remember the little baskets to put the penny sweets in - ours were plastic!

Just on an entirely different train of thought - was anyone as sad as me to vote when Kelloggs changed Coco pops to Choco Krispies and there was uproar - i voted for them to go back to Coco pops!!!

you can still get those ciggies, they just don't taste as good as they used to!
I still have a stash of licorice roots too. I just get strange looks eating them outside!!
