I loved this chewing gum with a "cold" liquid centre.

I used to really like Beech Nut chewing gum too.

And this was good:

Found a great old fashioned sweet shop in Whitby the other week, only sold stuff by the quarter, which is 113g, I think the sign said.

I didn't care, just happy to order sweets by the quarter again!

Moffat toffee looks good, I'll need to get some next time I'm up there instead of a case of scotch pies I always seem to buy.

I lost my first filling to a drumstick lolly - big one too from a molar. I was sticking my tongue in the hole for weeks!

This was a Friday night treat when I got my 25p "spends."

I'd eat it whilst watching Starsky & Hutch.

Capt. Dobi was a miserable bastard wasn't he!?!
