Spangles were awful. Worst. Sweets. Ever.

Texan bars though? YUM.

I wasn't particularly fond of Dime Bars but I loved the advert for them. My mate's slightly posh ex used to randomly shout "ARMADILLOS!" on nights out in tribute.

Refreshers were good, though can still be had I presume?

Space Dust was always exciting fun, whether taken orally or administered to the family's pet dog

Barratts recently sent us a letter telling us to stop using the wording Black Jack on liquorice rock as they owned the rights. It's taken them about 30 years to catch us.
