Favourite childhood sweeties?


The thread about Holly's great grandad the Polo inventor got me thinking about the sweets I used to eat when I was younger and how annoying it is that they are so hard to come by!

My favourites were:

Citrus polos (now non existent anywhere )
Cherry lip bars
Millions
Nerds
Sherbet dib dabs
Cola frosties
Mega shockers and
ring pops (yes that IS a lot!)

What were yours?

I still love Millions. And those wee jelly teddy bears that Haribo make - I remember you used to get them for a half pence each from the school tuck shop. I also loved Double Deckers, my gran would bring me one round every Thursday after her work. And Milky Ways before the changed the filling from the grey colour to the white/cream coloured one.
