there's nowt wrong with Crewe as long as you can speak and read Polish, you feel like a tourist if you ask for something in English.

Who remembers Red Aniseed Balls that turned white if you could suck them for long enough?

What about Grays Herbal Tablets or the little black triangles of something horrible that came in a little flat tin. Weren't they called Imps or Nips or something like that?

but the mosty bestest sweet of all ever time was a Bazooka Joe - an inch square lump of pink chewing gum that would last for a whole afternoon and you could blow the biggest ever bubbles and the wrapper even had a cartoon strip printed inside.

Sorry - slipped back fifty years for a moment there.

If they still made Love Hearts what would be written on them for todays kids?

"Pimp my Ride" or
"Crash me a Fag" or
"Shake my Booty" or
"Got any Carlsberg Export Mate"

I remember that with Bazooka Joe that if you saved enough cartoons you could send off for the free gifts etc including the x ray specs Did anyone ever get cos I didnt but always wanted? They were also advertised in all the comics

Moon dust although my kids generation but not mine was good also all that crackling in mouth
