Milk bottles. I know you can still get them in places. Oh, and Barley Twists.

And the best Jelly Babies are those made by Haribo, but I can never find them when I come over.

When I was at school, we would pop over to the sweet shop during play time and buy Shoe Strings, and Fireman's Hoses. Both red licorice. There was this really tasty oily stuff inside the bottom of the Fireman's Hose. I loved it!
