Best Ever Sweet Shop Sweets

[Barry69]

I was thinking of the days when you get a 1/4 of boiled sweets from the local sweet shop, and what ones I liked there were many but my all time favorite was:

Rhubarb & Custard"s


What about you?

Barry,

You can't beat a 1/4 of Winter Mixtures!

[Thom15]

Pear Drops, Yummy

[John Turner]

Barley twists
Aniseed twists
Aniseed balls
Cough candy
Pineapple cubes

(My dentist loves me) :)

Kop Kops, naturally!! (and I mean Liverpool FC, as opposed to my job!!!)

And definately not Everton mints!! I find that they start strong, but get weaker towards the end, and they always seem a bit bitter!!!!

I'm going way back now; Black Jacks, Fruit Salads,Sherbet Dips, Aniseed Balls, Gobstoppers but during the summer those mega sized Jubbilies....they've got small ones in Iceland now but not a touch and the ones we had when I was a youngster.

Plus the Bars of Toffee. Callard and Bowsers was one and the other used to have a Cow on the Front. Lovely Stuff. Oh and the old 1p Arrows

How about Sherbert power and Red Liquorice. I was in Crickhowell last weekend and spent around £5 on sweets in the sweet shop on the corner

Old English Spangles, & the orange fish shaped sweets.

IT HAS GOT TO BE EVERTON MINT`S BY FAR. KOP KOP`S ARE OVER RATED JUST LIKE THE TEAM:rolleyes:

[Scouse75]

Marshy, thanks for proving my point in my earlier post.....Bitterness!! lol

Who is bitter apart from kop kop`s? Lol

Thought that I would revive this thread , I was in the same shop as Ray in Crickhowell the other day , it's called Jehu's . My old mate Eddie runs it these days . I bought a quarter of Monkey Nuts . Remember them ? Shaped like a monkey nut , mustardy in colour and loads of little nuts in the middle .
Good old days are still there if you look for them .
