Vintage Nerds and Dweebs.

[Born Wrong]

i use to love these bubblegums [


and these sweet peanuts was whoresome.


I also use to love flying saucers.

[Ingenue]

Omygosh dweebs & nerds. I absolutley loved them <3

[Feel_Good_inc.]

I can still get hold of that gum at my local shop.
A weird thing: I was never a fan of flying saucers until recently. It was weird but I suddenly developed a taste for them.

OMGOMGOMG NERDSS
proper got a craving 4 them now!!!!
Can you still get them??

[craola]

I tried these last week-



They're called fizzbombs raspberry ones and the sweet itself is nice but its covered in bicarbonate of sofa its so nasty it fizzes in your mouth and tastes all nasty. I had to wash them before eating them.


These are the best, I don't know why they stopped them.




Mmmmm

Ewwww. I used to LOATHE those sort of cola bottles. If one accidentally made it into my sweet bag I'd have a huge hissy fit. =P

And those bubblegums? Nom nom nom. 2p each.

[craola]

They're not cola bottles!
They're beers!!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

[Feel_Good_inc.]

beers, and you wondered why they stopped making them.

[craola]

Yes I do, I mean there was nothing wrong with them, they didn't exactly encourage drinking. They were yummy :)

[Alone and Scared]

You can still get those beer sweets!!

I LOVED nerds!!!!!!! :)

And the silver packet of fizzy sweets, with the bottle top on, you can still get them too!!

My weekend is becoming good again!!

I had rainbow drops today! They do them in the co-op round the corner :)

I think they do those bubblegums in a classic sweet shop near me.

They stopped doing Fuse bars?!?
Gaaah, s'been so long since I went out and bought a chocolate bar I hadn't realised. That sucks. They were yummy.

What were starbursts called before they were starbusts?

Neither did those candy sticks encourage smoking, but people still wanted them off the shelves for that exact reason.

Opal Fruits.
I think they changed to recipe to get rid of all the E-numbers and artificial flavours, so technically it became a new product and needed a new name.
That's the story I heard.

[craola]

You still get candy sticks.

In fact you can still get these to-



Chocolate cigarettes :)

[Feel_Good_inc.]

I didn't say you couldn't get them, I just said that there was a large call for them to be taken off the shelves because they could encourage children to smoke.
surely, looking at those pics, you can see why?

[Sweetest Downfall]

I get those from franceeee!!

[craola]

These...I guess the packets aren't necessary although they aren't like packets inside, but candy sticks? No. If we are going to ban any thin sticks because it could be a cigarette...well. That's just stupid.
