Old Jamaica is lovely. I've only seen it in massive bars though. Have they always been this way?

Fizzers! Tiny sherbety sweets. Round but with concave top and bottom so that if you sucked, they stayed stuck to your tongue
![]() Anybody have any memories of a fruity/fizzy, 1 inch square, thinish, sweet. I think you were supposed to dissolve them in water to make a fizzy drink but my memory might be wrong......they have a unique place in my memory as I once took one, without paying for it ![]() I couldn't eat it....had to take it back next day and it took forever to get the shopkeeper to go out the back so I could put it back in the box... What an admission .... |

Back in '70's my granny's sister's husband (my great uncle
) owned a sweet shop/newsagents in Chichester.It was a real old fashioned place, with all the sweets in massive jars on shelves, and old fashioned scales to weigh them out. People would come in and buy sweets by weight, and take them away in a little paper bag (or big one if they were greedy!) Whatever sweet you could think of, he had in a jar, he was a bit like a real life Willy Wonka. Bit of an irony that I didn't like sweets, or chocolate, never have. I think it amused him; that a small boys dream would be to have the run of a sweet shop, which I did, but that I didn't want anything there. |

I miss barley sugars. You can't find them for love or money. Although, I am sure you can get them online.

Aztec Bars = Cadbury's answer to the Mars Bar. Did they taste like Mars bars too?

Used to be 100g bars when first introduced in the 70s, but Cadbury's, god bless, do keep bringing them back. Also at the same time they had Grand Sevilla bars, bournville chocolate with orange flavouring and candied orange peel bits - haven't seen that for a while though.
