The list is endless but here are a few of mine. Uncle Joe's mint balls, Texan, Toffee Logs, Spangles, pacers, mojo's, mint sensations, bazooka's and many more. What are your favourites from long ago? I'm sure I will add some more to this thread. Karen |

Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 19:57 on 27th March 2008 Oh I was trying to think of Victory V's, I loved them. What was the dominant flavour? Was it licorice? To go along with the Blackjacks (probably not allowed to call them that any more) there were Fruit Salads. And I liked the hard boiled Rhubarb and Custard sweets., In fact Loved just about all of those hard boiled sweets from the big glass sweet jar, Pear Drops, Pineapple Squares, Lemon Drops, Barley Twists. Oh and lets not forget Gobstoppers and Aniseed balls. I'm on a roll now. |

I remember another hard boiled sweet that was about the size of your little finger, orange and shaped in a twist. I want to say it tasted of licorice. Does any one remember what they were called? |
Karen Pugh Posts: 858 Joined: 21st Dec 2006 Location: UK | quotePosted at 20:42 on 27th March 2008 It was called Cough Candy Twist Sue, and I thought it tasted a bit like aniseed. |
Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 20:44 on 27th March 2008 No wonder it sounds familiar, silly me . And yes, anniseed, that's right. I LOVED them, but it has been sooooo long since I had any. I wonder if they still make them? |
Karen Pugh Posts: 858 Joined: 21st Dec 2006 Location: UK | quotePosted at 20:56 on 27th March 2008 Yes they do still make them, I had some not so long ago. They are nice arnt they. We have some good sweet shops in my area, that do all kinds of old fashioned sweets. I am lucky. I do keep the dentist happy though, cos I have to go so often. |
