Toffee sweets always pulled fillings out and spangles ended up like shards of glass when you bit them.
Same with Black jacks and other chews.
oh yes indeed, the descendants of McC***n's Toffee are directly responsible for the ruinous state of my teeth.
my legal team are on the case for a large payout for compensation
Except toffee bars and toffee sweets are still available everywhere, and Black Jacks are still on sale too.
Ah now that's one I do miss, and definitely isn't available any more.
Ooh I loved Pacers, I miss Splicer Bars, and Spangles
They were great, used to get some Irn Bru bars, Taz bars and space raiders for under 50p
Marble bar.
Oh I just had a flashback - at the RS McColls in town when I was a kid, they used to sell sweets made to look like cigarettes, round white sweets with the orange bar at the bottom - can you imagine that being sold nowadays?! at least I seem to remember that anyway.
Yep those biccies are still made, although they seem to be sold mainly in discount and pound shops today.
Sweet cigarettes you can still basically buy, they don't call them that anymore and they don't have the orange bit at the top that made them look like cigarettes. They're just called Candy Sticks today, I think Barratt still make them.
Yep:

That looks right. I haven't seen those in a long time!.
There also used to be sweets that looked like hamburgers I think, like a Big Mac lol. The only sweets I've had at all recently were Haribo Starmix - I was quite keen on them as a treat until I started getting my teeth straightened, have to cut out all sweets now boo.
