Posted November 3, 200618 yr anyone remember sweet tobacco when you were a kid? Coconut strands covered in brown sugary stuff - gorgeous - of course, all but disappeared due to political correctness.... well, you can still get it.... have a look here for some fab retro sweets... http://www.handycandy.co.uk/sweet-tobacco-p-103.html http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/russy68/sweettobacco.jpg (looks like gone-off worms or beansprouts here, though :-/) also, remember Space Dust? The sherberty stuff you'd put in your mouth and it'd fizz and pop? Invisible on the high street - but this fab site sells it: http://www.handycandy.co.uk/fizz-wizz-popp...andy-p-164.html Other retro stuff you don't see anymore... Fortune Fish - remember these? They'd curl up and tell you you were due a 'long, happy life', or summat like that.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/russy68/fish.jpg Sea Monkeys - remember those things you'd add water to - then these mini prawn-like things would start swimming about? I had loads of these... ended up with a plastic tank full of rank water in the end, though..... did anyone else have these? Still available, apparently... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/russy68/seamonkeys.jpg ...Smoking Monkeys - pop a fag in their chops, light it up and revel in the monkey puffing like Dot Cotton on it... also available today, of course, the Smoking Baby - LOVE this... so wrong, but so fab... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/russy68/smokingmonkey.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/russy68/smokingbaby.jpg this is my very own smoking tot - notice how his little nose and upper lip goes brown over time, bless him... ;D
November 4, 200618 yr Oh space dust is awesome...I remember smarties had a spacedust bar out last year...and Ive tried lollies with spacedust on them...theyre so cool. I remember some woman on TV saying she tried it to kink up her sex life & got her boyfriend to put some on his tongue then lick her...and she said it was agony. :whip: :angry:
November 4, 200618 yr Oh, I remember Space Dust.....you can still get it, tho I can't remember the brand name...my kids love it! And we've had Sea Monkeys recently too!! Weird little things! Anyone remember Spangles, Nutty bars, Rainbow Drops?

Anyone remember Spangles, Nutty bars, Rainbow Drops? Yeah I loved Spangles :wub: they tried relaunching them about 2 or 3 years ago and it was a total FLOP :manson: I still call Snicker's Marathon's and Starburst's Opal Fruits etc And who can forget the cute Gollywog's on Robinson's Jam that got banned because they were supposedly racist :rolleyes:

Anyone remember Spangles, Nutty bars, Rainbow Drops? I'm sure Space Monkeys are still around, although i've never owned them before personally. And maybe its age, but i've never heard of Spangles or Nutty Bars :lol: Are you talking about the Rainbow Drops which are little coloured chunks that you get in a packet? Because they're definately still around.. they're gorgeous :P
November 4, 200618 yr I remember when Starburst were Opal Fruits. Can you remember the adverts they had on during the whole 'name change' thing.. where they had the monkey in the lab place? Scientist guy: "Opal Fruits?" (Holds up card)..*no reaction* "Or Starburst?" (Guy runs past window with massive bunch of bananas) *monkey starts going mad* "Starburst it is then!" :lol: Maybe it's just me but I prefer 'starburst' :unsure:

Do they still do Fruit Tang?
November 4, 200618 yr No I don't remember lol. Do they still do Fruit Tang? I've never heard of it, I don't think :unsure: ... what was it?
November 4, 200618 yr I've never heard of it, I don't think :unsure: ... what was it? Like sour chewits sort of, you'd get green yellow and pink I think in a bag.
November 4, 200618 yr Like sour chewits sort of, you'd get green yellow and pink I think in a bag. No, I deffo haven't seen them before. Shame, they sound nice -_- Although saying that I don't think Chewits are as nice as they used to be... especially since they lost the rollerskating dinosaur singing "I like to chew it chew it" :lol:
November 4, 200618 yr When I was young I used to collect Thomas The Tank Engine and all the characters. They were actual metal ones back then ans they rusted and my mum even took me to this place with old trains and stuff. Thomas was great :wub: Much better than the $h!t on TV for little kids these days. The Animals Of Farthing Wood - gone but never ever forgotten - I was CRAZY on them. Also Lucky Charms - a breakfast cereal they stopped making when I was 6ish. Loved em - like I think Cheerioes with little marshmallow moons and stars and hearts in.
November 4, 200618 yr http://usera.imagecave.com/wigglywiggly3/Jul01/fruitang.jpg ^They're bars of them. Only picture I can find. :unsure:

You legend! :o I ADORED Thomas The Tank Engine when I was a little kid! He was like my favourite character EVER!!! The Animals Of Farthing Wood was absolute class. I used to watch it every day when I came home on BBC One (When it used to be decent)... loved it And I loved Lucky Charms as well, although my mam used to go off it with me because I used to eat the marshmallowy bits and leave the cereal :lol:
November 4, 200618 yr http://usera.imagecave.com/wigglywiggly3/Jul01/fruitang.jpg ^They're bars of them. Only picture I can find. :unsure: I remember them now! They were gorgeous! ^_^ They were around not too long ago, actually. Maybe last 6 or 7 years?... I think they may have possibly tried to bring them back at one stage
November 4, 200618 yr I remember them now! They were gorgeous! ^_^ They were around not too long ago, actually. Maybe last 6 or 7 years?... I think they may have possibly tried to bring them back at one stage Well I used to have them before we moved into our house, and that was 9 yrs ago.
November 4, 200618 yr Well I used to have them before we moved into our house, and that was 9 yrs ago. Yeah, and can remember the cafe in my secondary school selling them for a while during years 7 and 8 which was only about 7 years ago!
November 4, 200618 yr Yeah, and can remember the cafe in my secondary school selling them for a while during years 7 and 8 which was only about 7 years ago! I thought I saw them in a shop recently. I remember them being so sour lol, I dunno why we ate them.
