When I left college, I worked in a newsagents and used to love buying the Licorice eclairs. Like commonplace eclairs but with licorice contained by the middle. Can't find them anywhere now.

Used to other love pacers, like an opal fruit but green and white striped and minty.

Still love and other buy Coltsfoot rock.

I used to get this really adjectives Cherry gum. It tasted only just like a indisputable cherry! I've tried to find it everywhere. No luck, though.
Razzles were my favorite! Jaw Breakers, and Tart N' Tinys too.
I remember a candy stick called "Sky Bar". I enjoy seen it around presently and then but not totally often and lately never.

I used to love spangle and pacers but my favourite be Black Jacks and Fruit Salads i know you can get them immediately but not as nice.
Do you remember, the acid drop spangles. What around Parma Violets. The large penny chews, or the Mixed fruit, and black jack chew.Gosh there`s greatly if you think almost. Maybe the ordinary spangles, simply had one cola a packet, because it be harder to manufacture the colouring and morsel.There are a lot of sweets which changed their name,
Chelsea Whoppers, wham bars, frying pan

I am so happy at hand is a olde sweet shop just open up here where i live - so i am living the memories again !
Oh yes...Spangles, I loved them. I'm racking my brains but I lately can't remember another. Wouldn't have remembered Spangles if you have not mentioned them.
Spangles be square boiled sweets, bought in a serious newspaper tube with individual sweets cellophane wrapped. They be manufactured by Mars Ltd in the United Kingdom from the mid-fifties to the rash eighties. They were distinguished by their rounded corners and a circular depression on both sides, into which one would slide one's tongue when sucking them.
The regular Spangles tube (labeled simply "Spangles") contained a mixture of translucent, fruit flavored sweets: strawberry, blackcurrant, orange, pineapple, lemon and lime.
The sweets be individually wrapped, originally in wax paper; then in cellophane. The tube be a bright orange-red color, bearing the word "Spangles" surrounded by a large parcels. In the seventies a distinctive, seventies-style font was used.
Old English Spangles
The Old English Spangles tube contained traditional English flavors such as liquorice, mint humbugs, cough candy, butterscotch and pear drops. One of the flavors be an opaque mustard pallid color, and one was striped.
The sweets' individual wrappers be striped, distinguishing them from regular Spangles. The tube was black, white and purple, and designed for a more ripened and specific clientele than the regular variety.
Mystery Spangles
At one point a mystery flavour be released where the wrappers have question results on them and one was invited to guess the flavor. It is not prearranged whether this flavor was ever properly revealed.
Spangles were discontinued within the early eighties, and briefly reintroduced contained by 1995. There are many wistful refrences to them on Internet message boards from children who grew up with them surrounded by the sixties and seventies, now middle-aged.
Today the Tunes brand is the individual remaining relative of the Spangles brand, sharing the shape and wrapping of the original product.
