Rather than get into pointless debate over the best (it was a Cabana bar, any other suggestions are not worthy of consideration) What were the minty opal fruits called? I am sure they were white with a green stripe.

Must have been pacers

Fangles were the best, end of.

Opal Mints

pacers

Yep, definitely Pacers.

Not a patch on a Fruit Salad, mind you.

Okay, Opal Mints originally but later became Pacers

Not a patch on a Fruit Salad, mind you.

Blacks Jackets were better, plus they had the added bonus of being outrageously unPC

What were "Fangles" btw, were they like Spangles only spelt different ?

Im my day, Black Jacks and Fruit Salads were 8 to an old penny, we could buy 240 for the equivelent of 10p today -(in my day that was 2 shilling or twenty four old pennies)

Cue Hovis music for neverfastenough.
Black Jacks weren’t around in your day you old bugger.
Wed night…? Get them lights charged.
Off up to Derbyshire on Sat if you fancy it.

Pacers, mmmm

i always liked those cigarette shaped lollies… whatever happened to them? And the big cigar ones were good as well 🙂

A chocolate smokers set for christmas, spanish gold sweet tobacco and chocolate cigarettes in weekly sweet bags those were the days. Try as hard as my father could I still ended up a non smoker I must have been such a disappointment.

Takisawa2,
Lights are charged, Chris Fancies it as well on Wed,

No can do Sat due to commitments, – the boss is coming cue sound of tiny feet.
