I do remember getting pretend (sugar) cigarettes at Christmas time. And then my mum wondered why I started to smoke at 13 (gave up at 15). My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Bought some Soor Plooms last year in Edinburgh and they still taste jolly good. Must get some more. Nurse! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Haven't seen Caramac for years, and as I recall it tasted like toffee and probably was disgusting but I liked it then! Sugar mice? Anyone rember them? They truly were awful.
