Don't remember the Tiffin but I do remember the Lion bar...and lucky bag...and frozen jubbly

I loved Jubbly's. I remember always buying one on the way to school, but as the school was only about five minutes away from the shop I used to end up having to throw half of it away because I didn't have time to finish it. Lol

Aniseed twists, cola cubes,Rhubarb and custard and those Sherbert Lemons that you used to suck the end to get the powder bit out then make your tongue sore from the hole you made because it was sharp!! :shock: Lol

Oh yes I loved sherbert lemons...Pear drops also made my tongue sore after eating almost a quarter all at one go...loved em! :smile2:

I used to like Golden Cup and Spangles.
