This is very strange.!
I was in bed just now and had a sudden urge for a Zap ice lolly!!!
I havn't seen these in years!Don't know if vans still sell them but i know shops don't :(
It was the 1 with the marble effect and was really sweet tasting! mmmmm
Anybody else miss some of the old missing foods??
I miss Nerdz :(
Nerdz! I remember them! I still miss wispas, even though they did bring them back for a while
Nerdz! I remember them! I still miss wispas, even though they did bring them back for a while
Were you careless with your wispa?
Wispas are still available now... On site shop stocks them.
I'm sure I saw Zap's in ice cream vans on holiday last year.
I miss big wagon wheels lol Anyone remember 54321's? Now THAT is old skool munch :D
Novachild isnt even old enough to be of "new skool" munch, let alont what we grown ups class as old skool lol.
Remember when there was that tale of Nerdz having glass in them.
Trios were nice too.
But you cant beat a good Tunnoks (I think) Caramel wafer bar
Ahhhh, wham bars... classic Marathon and Treats ( now just named snickers and m&m's )
Never did have the balls try spacedust with coke. It was ment to make you explode or something.

They are amazing. Not sure you got the name right but cant think of anything to correct it so stick with yours lol.
The local shop where i grew up used to sell "choc-lick" which is probably called something else around the country, from a big jar behind the counter, sold by weight. Essentially just all the chocolatey bits from the other sweets, thrown together into a big jar. Bits of smarties shells, bit of crunchie, and loads and loads of chocolate "dust". Its was awesome.

God Tab Clear was the strangest thing ever. Looks like lemonade, tastes like coke - it's f*cking voodoo i tell ya!
What about Macaroon Bars, FTW!!
Jack, 54321s had a fantastic Telly add. Used to send kids nuts, hoppying and jumping around.
them were the days when sweets had far to many E numbers......It was great.
/\ lol
Eat too many and go blind for a day...
Anyone remember Eye poppers? Sour Bubble Gum, came in a pack of 3 for 10p? They made your face cave in.
Also crispy pancake's are still going.You would never get away with saying "Master Baits"/"Roger the cabin boy" or "Sea Man stains" on the telly know adays lol.

Those phrases are actually a myth iirc. They were published in the media somewhere and people assumed that they had been used on tv.

No not the old mayfairs or for you maybe bauers / Graffs, the ones that you tied to your shoes and all you kind of did was try and walk on wheels that barely turned. They were red with an adjustable metal plate and black wheels.

I always find Tuesday night is the best time to go - everywhere is fairly quiet then what with it being early in the week and the day before "orange wednesday".
Rough Riders - If you were lucky you had the series 2 that had the gear change. I had the knight rider version. Oh hell yeah.

NovaLad
23-07-08, 10:48 PM

Really? They must have got it overturned then as i swear they were banned lol
NovaLad
23-07-08, 10:55 PM
Yeah can get them from most stores.
Last couple of times i have had 1 i got owned once the chocolate came out and burnt my face lol.
I was BURNT FACE MAN!
Really? They must have got it overturned then as i swear they were banned lol
yea you can get them but not like the older days. there not as nice and dont have the older flavours
Really? They must have got it overturned then as i swear they were banned lol
Watchdog went on a witchunt in the 90s trying to rid the world of this evil toasted snack - backed up by numerous consumer tales of DEATH by BURNING HOT JAM and TOASTERS catching FIRE for no good REASON! Until the people who made them pointed out they weren't supposed to be eaten straight out the toaster, and those people who's toaster's had spontaneously combusted had never cleaned them and thought nothing of jamming knives, forks, chainsaws etc into the toaster. Whilst toasting.
Too late though, by that time the damage had been done, so they're not as pop(ha)-ular as they once were.
You can still get them in the States, hense all the Fatty *******s over there.
I went to work yesterday and this has shot up another 3/4 pages sweet.
ps free bump lol.

I loved Wispas. They brought them back for a bit and now they're gone again :(
Pop tarts, eh? Must get to my Tescos and see. Where are they kept?
Usually with the breakfast bar type things. Or near cereal. Around that region.
yeah pop tarts are great i had one only the other week. tab clear was great im surprised that cokecola didnt take them over and rebrand it. (they sell all of the nasty cokes with a twist of fruit in)
i miss the penny sweets you use to be able to get at the corner shop. (sherbert saucers and straws ect.)
I loved Wispas. They brought them back for a bit and now they're gone again :(
