I remember detesting Black Jacks but absolutely loving Fruit Salads. Then one day something switched and all of a sudden Black Jacks were unbeatable.

Walters Potato Puffs. Last spotted around 40 years ago in a vending machine on Staines station and I think they had been stuck in there for a couple of years

It did make a brief comeback in a couple of sweetshops but disappeared again and replaced by the choc nibbles stuff.
