Apple tarts, extremely sour. Cant find them for love nor money now. Cherry lips and floral gums...those that tasted like you were chewing a bar of Dove are still going strong. Unfortunately.

Don't remember all of the others.

You can still get cola-cubes and chocolate limes in the shop near my kids' school and they do a roaring trade hehe!

What about the AA pop man, thinking back that was a very good green idea, getting money back for your glass bottles so they could be used again. Look at all the plastic ones we are using instead!
