Piglet crisps were my fav from the tuck shop. Bacon and bean flavour! Spiderman crisps were nice too.

Golden Cup was always much nicer than a Cadburys Caramel.

TAB cola is still available in the USA. You can get it over here in shops like Cybercandy.
We can get TAB imported too but cannot get TAB Clear unfortunately

Arent Golden Cups in Quality Street now?
Now the toffees in Roses dont taste as nice as they did when I was young and they changed the shape
I dunno but Cadburys Caramel always seemed to have more caramel in than its present "Dairy Milk" variant

Does anyone remember Highland Toffee bars? (Had a pic of a cow on the front and were 10p) and Wham bars!! Loved them - surprised I had any teeth left actually.

I found a recipe leaflet showing really lovely cakes made with Nestles chocolate mousse mix I got at a cash and carry years ago. It was gorgeous. Now they only have it in New Zealand and Australia

I don't know if it is psychological but the brown Smarties tasted more chocolatey than the others and was my favourite

As for the blue ones...

I remember Tab Clear and couldn't stand it yuck at the memory.

Unfortuantly I had just been diagnosed with Diabetes when it came out and my whole family were really kind and would buy it for me to drink as it was sugar free and I couldn't stand it!....I drank gallons of the stuff.

OMG Quarterbacks were so nice!! They sold them at our local footy club for 10p too haha!

I remember Puffs too that disintegrated in the bag
They still do Quarterbacks. The shop where I used to live sold them, may take a trip down there today just to stock up, got a craving now.

Really sad to hear both Toffos and Texan went out of production in 2005

Toffos were especially nice
Did they definitely put Toffoes out of production in 2005?

I just remember the last time I had them was from the Uni shop, and I started uni in late 2006 so it must've been after then at some point.

I suppose it could have been towards the end of all the toffoes left. I just know I definitely had them, and they were mixed flavour, I wasn't mad keen on the plain ones, but the banana toffee was great, and i don't even like bananas (Other than foam ones)

Loved push pops, i'm surprised my teeth survived all those years!

Meanies rings a bell, but i don't think i've seen them in years. I think i preferred Space Raiders.

Meanies are still available. You can get them in ASDA.

I prefer them over Space Raiders because i'm sure SR have changed the recipe in the last year or two. They now taste like the cheap supermarket own brand alternative.

A Mars bar tastes metallic these days.

Interestingly, (perhaps for some) the best tasting bottled Coca Cola or Fanta is in Morocco. Must be something to do with the syrup they make under licence over there; reminded of great Coke from the 60's

Bones crisps were the business! The only packet of crisps that as a kid you were too scared to pick up

Salt and vinegar flavour if I recall correctly.........weren't there also Fangs?

I don't know why everything has to be cheese and onion, i really liked the cheese Nik Naks and Hula Hoops. Walkers also did a toasted cheese flavour for a while which was really nice.

Me neither I never had the walkers cheese flavor but my dad recons they was "Lush"

Its always something and Onion why cant they just invent a new good flavor with out onion in
Sour Cream and Onion
Cheese and Onion
Pickled Onion/Pickle n Onion
Steak and onion
I wish they bought back Cheese Hula Hoops and the walkers toasted cheese and cheese nik naks and cream n cheesy nik naks (Bit like sour cream and onion) for the younger generation who never had them (i never had Hula hoops, walkers or the origianal cheese nik naks)

Everything is smaller because the "Health Brigade" worried that a King Size was equivalent to a 1/3 of your daily food intake!
It's gone mad. Can't people make their own decisions!
Is this parody? I can't tell any more.

Bones - now that is a really good memory. That made me smile.

I have two great crisp memories from the 70's; Rancheros, which were a bacon flavor I think, and Kung Foos, which were cheese and onion balls, but tasted so much better than that.

I'm guessing 1974 or 1975. I'll Google them now.

I loved 'em. Sour ones were the best, though.
