fav childhood sweets

[marie_77]

i just loved wham bars and highland toffees. white mice and mojos at one point they were half a penny! i rem when eating paper came out it tasted horrid but everyone had it as it was the gimic of eating paper!

i also love those 2p skulls they were white choc with a red gue inside.

its been amazing remembering what we used to wear, listen to and eat sees so far away now but nice to look back. is so different these days with kids what thrilled us and made us happy does not seem enough these days which is quite sad.
