Retro Sweets We Still Crave - Part One

A single paper bag of penny sweets could define an entire Saturday. We crack open the jar-lined doors of the 1980s sweet shop and taste our way through the treats that shaped a generation: sherbet dips, cola cubes, flying saucers, Blackjacks, Fruit Salads, and the stubborn charm of toffee that threatened every filling. This is a father-daughter tour through memory, taste, and the tiny rituals that make sweets feel like time travel.

We get honest about flavour loyalties and grudges. One of us will die on the hill that Refreshers are the OG fizzy chew; the other swears Maoam is the upgrade. We trade strategies for eating Cadbury Creme Eggs, confess to Curly Wurly catastrophes, and debate whether chocolate belongs in the fridge. Some icons divide the room: Turkish Delight gets a ferocious thumbs down, Bounty earns a cautious pass, and Caramac and Pacers prompt a mint-flavoured nostalgia check. Along the way we trace brand evolutions—Opal Fruits into Starburst, Marathons into Snickers—and unearth lost gems like 5-4-3-2-1 bars and mint Toffos.

There’s history and myth here too. We revisit the urban legend that Space Dust was banned for sounding like “angel dust,” untangle why popping candy felt rebellious, and confront the relic of chocolate cigarettes, a reminder of how marketing once blurred play with imitation adulthood. American imports make cameos—Snow Caps, vending-machine Starburst—and so does shrinkflation, the modern plot twist that leaves our favourite bars smaller than we remember.

This is part one of a two-part sugar map, ending the tour in the 80s and setting up the 90s, 2000s, and a promised dive into Polish sweets next. If nostalgia is a sense, this episode is its taste test—funny, opinionated, and full of small details that unlock big memories. If you smiled, argued with us out loud, or remembered the exact feel of a paper bag in your hand, hit follow, share it with a friend who loves retro candy, and leave a review with your most controversial sweet take.

It was requested by a listener. It was requested by a listener. We haven't done one of these for a while.

SPEAKER_02 0:49

His specialist subject, it's Rob.

SPEAKER_04 0:51

Penny Sweets And Shrinkflation

SPEAKER_02 0:52

So yeah, Rob. Yep. So Rob will be listening to this. And I I sent him a message. He said to me, he said, uh, I said, you'll have to do a mess, you'll have to do an episode on sweets. So I sent on our chat the other day, I said, right, give me a list of your top ten childhood sweets that you used to have. Well, he sent me loads. He sent me loads. And of course, because he's married to married to Anja, I went, uh Who's been on this podcast? She has indeed. She's been a guest on the podcast. I did say to Anja, I said, Oh, Polish sweets. Because obviously she grew up in Poland. Yes. And we'll come on to them later on. So I've got some Polish ones on here. And she sent me a load, and the first one I was like, I read it what it was. It said warm ice cream. I was like, what? That sounds odd. And then when you actually read the ingredients of what it is, I went from ooh to mmm.

SPEAKER_04 1:40

Isn't warm ice cream just yogurt?

SPEAKER_02 1:42

It no, it's made from eggs. It's it's yeah, it's really bizarre. But there's like chocolate on it and stuff. It's and I'm like, I can get behind it if there's chocolate. And I started off thinking, ooh, but then I went, hmm. Looks nice. So yeah, so this is actually like how we started sort of like Gen X versus millennial versus yeah. So we're kind of going from sweets throughout the ages. Let's go. When I was a kid and when your mum was a kid, and from when Rob was a kid and other Gen X's, our our sweets from the 80s to 90s to now.

SPEAKER_04 2:16

Let's go.

Blackjacks, Fruit Salads, And Aniseed Wars

SPEAKER_02 2:17

So in the 80s, we used to go to sweet shops a lot. And we used to buy penny sweets, a lot of them.

SPEAKER_04 2:24

Can you imagine sweets being a penny these days?

SPEAKER_02 2:26

I know.

SPEAKER_04 2:26

Doesn't exist.

SPEAKER_02 2:27

Yeah. It's like, did you know Freddos as well? Freddos were never 5p, they were only over 10p.

SPEAKER_04 2:32

Oh, they were only uh although they've got bloody smaller.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

We'll come on to 25p, aren't they? Now we'll come on to that about how sweets uh how we're getting scammed now with sweets and the size of shrinkflation. Shrinkflation, the size of Yorkie bars, especially.

SPEAKER_04 2:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:46

Yes, and not for girls. That we'll come on to that. We'll come on to that. So we used to have a lot of penny sweets, and the royalty, the absolute creme de la creme of penny sweets for me anyway, were black jacks and fruit salads. Do you ever ever have blackjacks and fruit salads?

SPEAKER_04 3:04

Fruit salad, yes. Blackjacks are blackjacks not licorice.

SPEAKER_02 3:07

They are essentially licorice. Yeah, not black. But they used to turn your tongue black.

SPEAKER_04 3:11

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 3:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:12

What a novelty as a kid. I know. Oh, my tongue's a different colour. Oh no, I love blackjacks. I used to enjoy um well no, I didn't used to enjoy slushies, but they also make your tongue either blue or red.

Refreshers, Wam Bars, And Sour vs Sweet

SPEAKER_02 3:24

They were licorice, but they were more aniseed. Yeah, not. They were kind of like an aniseed flavor. No, I used to love an we used to get aniseed balls as well.

SPEAKER_04 3:31

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 3:32

And they used to have a little silver thing in the middle of the aniseed ball.

SPEAKER_04 3:35

Can you is it edible?

SPEAKER_02 3:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:37

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 3:38

It was like a hard little silver, silver aniseed ball.

SPEAKER_04 3:41

Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 3:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:43

Can you crunch it?

SPEAKER_02 3:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:45

Oh no. Yeah, like uh no. I'm not a fan of aniseed at all.

SPEAKER_02 3:50

Love oh blackjacks, really. It does say here, actually. I did write down here, they're the marmite of sweets.

SPEAKER_04 3:55

Yeah, they're not for me.

SPEAKER_02 3:56

You know, you either, you know, love them or hate them. Yeah, you either love them or you hate them. But I used to love blackjacks. Nice. But you've had fruit salads.

SPEAKER_04 4:03

I have had fruit salads. They're the ones that are like pink and yellow, aren't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a bit of a bit like a rhubarb cre what are they called? Rhubarb and custard, a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 4:11

But chewy.

SPEAKER_04 4:16

I'm not fan. Is that the theme tune?

SPEAKER_02 4:20

That was a theme tune to a kid's as an 80s kids programme called rhubarb and custard.

SPEAKER_04 4:24

Oh, okay. Yeah, that's lost on me.

SPEAKER_02 4:28

Because that used to be a dessert as well when I was a kid. People used to make rhubarb and custard. I mean, I can't think of they no. No. I used to hate the taste of rhubarb. So the other things we used to have similar to the penny chews, we used to have a thing called refreshers.

SPEAKER_04 4:42

Now, refreshers.

SPEAKER_02 4:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:44

I only see refreshers in retro sweet mix. Yes, this is what it is. Yeah. I actually don't like refreshers. They're like they're like the poor man's malwam. And I will I will take that to my grave.

SPEAKER_01 4:56

Poor man's malwam.

SPEAKER_04 4:57

It's a poor man's poor man's malwam.

unknown 5:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:01

It's a love for they were quite chunky when I was a kid. And you'd like bite into them.

SPEAKER_04 5:06

Well they're malwam size. Yeah.

Toffee, Highland Teeth-Testers, And Love Hearts

SPEAKER_02 5:08

But yeah, you said like the fizzy centre, fizzy like lemon chewy.

SPEAKER_04 5:13

I I think it's because I don't like lemon. I don't like citrus. And so refreshers for me are like, mmm.

SPEAKER_02 5:18

Well, they did it did kind of refreshes with the start of it. And then the things like mawams and all that, I think, were born from refresher. So I think so, yeah. So refreshers are essentially terrible. You say they're a poor man's mawwam. I'll say they're the OG.

SPEAKER_04 5:34

They're the OG.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

They're the OG.

SPEAKER_04 5:36

They're the god.

SPEAKER_02 5:38

They are the god tier of fizzy lemon kind of sparkly, sweeties, mixed in a I don't do sour either, and I think that's again another reason.

SPEAKER_04 5:48

No, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:49

We'll come on to sour tastics and haribo later on. Tangastics. Tangastics, yeah. Similar to kind of the refresher, they had a thing called the Wambar. Have you ever heard of the Wambar? No. No? So they were born in 1980, and they were kind of like this bright pink kind of like confectionery thing, and it had sour crystals all in it.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

Ooh.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

So but there was all multicoloured.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

So you think of like neon 80s, it was like the quintessential 80s kind of sweet.

SPEAKER_04 6:22

So it looked, it looked like the 80s.

SPEAKER_02 6:23

It looked like it looked and tasted like the 80s.

SPEAKER_04 6:26

I'm gonna give it a quick Google.

SPEAKER_02 6:28

Yeah, well, the Wambar.

SPEAKER_04 6:29

Yeah, you can talk about the next one.

SPEAKER_02 6:30

Uh we also used to have a thing called Highland Toffee. And that used to, I mean that that was like proper, proper hard toffee. And you used to worry about your teeth with that. So you used to get stuck to your teeth.

SPEAKER_04 6:44

Oh, okay, yeah. I'm not a fan of toffee either. Oh you quite. Oh, they kind of look like sorry, the wam bar kind of looks a little bit like like ribbon.

SPEAKER_02 6:52

Let's have a look. I've got a picture.

SPEAKER_04 6:54

Uh yeah. I don't know if you can see. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They kind of look like um ribbon sweets. Like too.

SPEAKER_02 7:01

Yeah, a little bit like that. Sorry.

SPEAKER_04 7:04

Beh, beh-mm. Sorry, toffee, Highland Toffee.

SPEAKER_02 7:07

Highland Toffee.

Flying Saucers, Rainbow Drops, And Texture

SPEAKER_04 7:08

Yeah, not heard of that one, but toffee I mean is toffee.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

It says here, it says known for being dangerously hard, is what it said in one of the articles that I think.

SPEAKER_04 7:16

That would that would remove some um remove some fillings. Yeah, yeah. So I did Luck and a Claire.

SPEAKER_02 7:21

To get to get these, I'd I'd I'd say Rob sent me a load, but I also did a Google of like top ten suites from the 80s, top 10 suites from the 90s, and things like that. And looking at some of the pictures, I was I was proper going down memory lane. Going, oh I remember that, I remember that, I remember that. Um these are still around today, but we did have them as kids. Love hearts.

SPEAKER_04 7:40

Yeah, I'm familiar with Love Hearts. Um again, they're kind of a Sherpety type thing. Yeah. They're okay. Uh they're not my favourite if I'm honest, but I I'll eat them. And I quite like it. I enjoy making sentences up with them, no matter how dirty they may come up.

SPEAKER_02 7:54

Um kiss me, be mine.

SPEAKER_04 7:57

Yeah, yeah. Some of them you can get slightly more saucy ones these days as well, which is quite fun. Um a lot of people have them as wedding favours because they're love-inspired, Valentine's.

SPEAKER_02 8:08

Well, similar to Love Hearts, we know the the substance that the substance that a love heart is made out of. The chalky. The chalky kind of sweet things. We used to get bracelets as well, made of the same thing.

SPEAKER_04 8:20

Yeah, like candy bracelets, candy necklaces, yeah. Yeah. Those I didn't mind so much. They were a bit nicer because I think they were in smaller quantities. Yeah. A love heart on its own is a bit just like, yeah, I'm just eating chalk.

SPEAKER_03 8:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:32

I'll take it or leave it. A love heart, I wouldn't I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a pack of love hearts. But if they were there as a wedding favour, I'd probably munch on them.

SPEAKER_02 8:39

Yeah. Like Palma Violets.

SPEAKER_04 8:41

Yeah, but I like lavender. I like Palma Violets.

SPEAKER_02 8:44

I like Palma Violets. Yeah. Can you remember what I did to your mum with Palma Violets?

SPEAKER_04 8:48

No.

SPEAKER_02 8:49

So remember back in COVID when your mum, because your mum did, she was really ill with COVID, wasn't she? Uh, we I we played a game one night, and that's where I was feeding her things to see what she could taste. Yeah. Yeah. And I got a load of palm of violets and was like, close your eyes and putting palm of violets in the mouth. She couldn't taste it.

SPEAKER_04 9:06

No. They're quite strong. They're quite strong.

SPEAKER_02 9:09

Yeah. Um, flying saucers.

SPEAKER_04 9:11

I actually do remember these as a child as well. I I have not seen them in a very, very long time. And they were like, um, they were almost like encased in like papery, that um melty paper. Rice paper. Rice paper, that's what I'm talking about. Rice paper. And then they're were they filled with sherbet as well? They were, yeah.

Sweet Shops, Jars, And American Imports

SPEAKER_02 9:27

Because the rice paper was tasteless at the moment, and then you get into the sherbety bits the middle.

SPEAKER_04 9:34

I don't think I vibe with the texture of a flying sorcer.

SPEAKER_02 9:37

Well, when I think about what is sweet now to what we had in the 80s, some of it is a little bit kind of I mean, it was a little bit tasteless.

SPEAKER_04 9:47

Yeah. But some of it wasn't. So because tasteless, but also tasteless in a really strong way.

SPEAKER_02 9:52

Yeah, I mean, because your mum said to me we used to have these things called rainbows. Yeah. Now I remember rainbow drops. Now, the word rainbow drops that I remember were like these tasteless kind of rice papery, crispy things that were all coloured. Yeah. And that they were completely tasteless. Yeah. I I never used to like them.

SPEAKER_04 10:08

They just taste sweet. Yeah. That's all. They were just sugar, weren't they? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:12

Well, when I think about um, because I remember going when we used to go shopping, because we used to do shopping on Saturdays when I when I was a kid, and I used to hate it. Saturday mornings we go to Tesco's or whichever shop was the closest one. Other shops are available. Um not sponsored by Tesco, wish we were. Yeah. And we used to get a thing called an iced bun. And it was literally just a finger roll with ice. Yeah, with ice on top.

SPEAKER_04 10:33

But why did that taste so good?

SPEAKER_02 10:34

I know.

SPEAKER_04 10:35

It's so simple. You could make that at home. It's a hot dog bun with icing on it. Yeah. But they taste so good.

SPEAKER_02 10:41

I know, but it's it's bread and icing. It's sweet bread, isn't it? It's sweet bread, yeah. Sweet bread. Yeah, yeah. But yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:45

I do remember those.

SPEAKER_02 10:46

I don't think you get them anymore, do you?

SPEAKER_04 10:48

I think you could in a bakery, but I remember them being at school.

SPEAKER_02 10:51

Yeah. But yeah, crazy. Cola cubes. And little cola bottles.

SPEAKER_04 10:57

Yeah, cola bottles, yes, I remember. But cola cubes in a cubed format. Yeah, yeah, little cola cubes. Were they like a big colour?

SPEAKER_02 11:06

No, they were quite hard. Oh hard. They were quite hard. Quite hard. Okay. Where I used to live in Sleaford, we used to have a sweet shop, and I can't remember the name of the sweet shop. Ed, I know you listen. What was the name of the sweet shop?

SPEAKER_04 11:19

Lucky can answer us now. We're channeling Ed right now.

SPEAKER_02 11:22

I know, but he'll he'll mention it on uh on the chat. He'll mention it on the chat. Um Ed wants to come on, by the way.

Cola Cubes, Bonbons, And Dip Dabs

SPEAKER_04 11:27

Ed is welcome. Ed is welcome. I don't think I've met Ed.

SPEAKER_02 11:30

No, no, no, you've never met Ed now. Uh so we we used to have a shop. Oh god, I can't remember the name of the bloody shop in Sleaford, but you used to go in and there were literal jars all up and down the can and you would you would like pick.

SPEAKER_04 11:45

I bet the I bet the sweet shops either had someone's name like John's sweet shop or it was a pun.

SPEAKER_02 11:50

Wilson's, was it Wilson's? Wilson's sweet shop.

SPEAKER_04 11:54

If it if it is someone's name, I've absolutely aced it.

SPEAKER_02 11:56

I think it was, I think it was Wilson's sweet shop. And you have all these sweets along the back, and you said, like, yeah, choose and you go like cola bottles or fruit salads or blackjacks.

SPEAKER_04 12:06

There are some shops still like that. There's a there's an American sweet shop, I think it's Oso Sweet in um in Norwich that still has like all of the jars that you can go in and pick stuff. But they have a lot of American sweets in there because I love I love snow caps, as you know.

SPEAKER_02 12:18

Oh, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's trying to snow caps.

SPEAKER_04 12:20

Did I bring you some back last time? You actually didn't. I didn't, didn't you? You let me down. Did I not bring you snowpackers? No. I put you hers, you drops, didn't I? You did, you did. I prefer personally prefer snow caps because I I always think of your mum when I think of snow caps because she always used to bring them back whenever very rare did she come back to the UK when she was living in America, but I they always make me think of her, and I you know, I hope that's a okay thing to say. Because it's it's just one of the things that always makes me. Whenever I see snow caps like in a shop or anything, I always think of Natalie Gale. Like I always do. Like it just to her, it comes into my mind whenever I I see them, but but yeah, no, you didn't bring any back. I'm I'm disappointed in you. I'm not angry.

SPEAKER_02 13:00

I'm disappointed. Or disappointed in the there is an American sweet shop in um in London, isn't there?

SPEAKER_04 13:07

Oh yeah, I'm sure there's many.

Drumsticks, Squashies, And Popping Candy Myths

SPEAKER_02 13:08

No, I'm trying to think where it is. In Leicester Square. Is it the MM one that you're talking about? I can't remember, but there's a big one, I think, in Leicester Square, because we went in there and we were like, oh yeah, I remember seeing that one in Target or seeing that in uh Tarzan in Walmart or Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:22

When are you going to America next?

SPEAKER_02 13:23

Uh not planned. We've not got anything planned. Nothing this year. Now yeah, um I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 13:30

I'm putting in my request now.

SPEAKER_02 13:32

Okay, okay. I'm not sure when we're gonna go back to America.

SPEAKER_04 13:34

Snow caps for me.

unknown 13:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Uh but I think we'll we'll go back to New Jersey. We'll go back.

SPEAKER_04 13:39

Of course, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:40

Yeah. Um so cola cubes, yes. Uh they were these hard-boiled sweets, which were basically fizzy coke flavour.

SPEAKER_04 13:47

Yeah, I I wouldn't vibe with that. I I'm not a massive fan of cola bottles either, to be honest. Even though I love Coca-Cola, I don't, I'm not a massive fan of the derivatives. I don't even really like the cola lollies that like the chubby chubs that you can get. Not a fan of them either.

SPEAKER_02 14:00

Um, toffee bonbons?

SPEAKER_04 14:02

I know of bonbons, and I know they're a bit chewy in the middle. I just it's never occurred to me that they would be toffee bonbons, but.

SPEAKER_02 14:08

Well, we used to get flavoured toffee. I remember like assorted toffee, there'd be like mint toffee, dark toffee, um, just bog standard toffee, all these different flavors. I mean, again, in the sweet shop, you'd have these jars with all these little flavoured toffees as well.

SPEAKER_04 14:21

I wish I was a toffee fan, but I just I just I just don't do licorice all sorts. Oh I am a chocolate person, I think. I think this is why I'm not that great with sweets, but yeah, toffee for me is just so meh. I I just uh there's a there's a really famous like toffee shop in all centre parks across the world, I think, have this toffee shop. And everyone always goes in there buy toffee. I just I'm just not I just don't vibe with it. I'm sorry, I just don't.

SPEAKER_02 14:47

No. Oh.

SPEAKER_04 14:48

I know.

SPEAKER_02 14:49

So yeah, I used to love love toffee bonbons, but then I put some the ones that your mum and Rob kind of mentioned as well with sherbet pips.

Pacers, Caramac, And The Mint Debate

SPEAKER_04 14:58

I remember sherbet dips, I think like dip dab. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 15:02

Dip dabs. Licorice with the dip in your yeah, and you'd lick the stick first, because the stick had something on it as well.

SPEAKER_04 15:08

And then you dipped it in the sherbet.

SPEAKER_02 15:10

We used to have a like double dab. Sour again.

SPEAKER_04 15:12

Double dabs.

SPEAKER_02 15:12

Double dabs, double dabs as well. Double dabs.

SPEAKER_04 15:15

I I think again, I think this might be because I don't enjoy sour. I don't enjoy toffee or sour. Um, this is a rubbish episode for me because I'm like, oh, I don't like it.

SPEAKER_02 15:22

Well, come on, come on to chocolate. Come on to chocolate.

SPEAKER_04 15:23

We'll come on to chocolate, but yeah, I I just do not vibe with sour things.

SPEAKER_02 15:28

I love sour, tan plastics, all of that. Oh, love it. I love it sour thing.

SPEAKER_04 15:31

I was thinking of drumsticks. I know you've got that on there.

SPEAKER_02 15:34

Yeah, we've got drumsticks later on. Yeah. Classic.

SPEAKER_04 15:36

I like a drumstick.

SPEAKER_02 15:37

I've already mentioned the drum rainbow drops.

SPEAKER_04 15:39

Yeah, rainbow drops.

SPEAKER_02 15:40

Beer bottles. Now I love them. So you know, like little cola bowls. Yeah. We said they have bigger ones.

SPEAKER_04 15:46

What did they what do they taste like?

SPEAKER_02 15:48

Shandy.

SPEAKER_04 15:48

Oh, shandy.

SPEAKER_02 15:49

They tasted like shandy.

SPEAKER_04 15:51

Makes sense. Makes sense. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:53

So you they the beer bottles were bigger versions of the Coke bottles, but little they were like little pint glasses. Even with the head. Great.

SPEAKER_04 16:01

Were they like foamy heads?

SPEAKER_02 16:02

Yeah. Oh.

SPEAKER_04 16:04

Very cool.

SPEAKER_02 16:05

I suppose they can't promote that now because no, and that's why we'll come on to things like chocolate cigarettes in a minute. Um yeah. Yeah. So of course, these are the ones that I didn't like were chocolate mice.

SPEAKER_04 16:17

Oh, yeah. I like chocolate, but chocolate mice are made out of that white. Oh, that fake chocolate.

SPEAKER_02 16:24

Yeah, mocklet.

SPEAKER_04 16:25

Mocklet, yeah. I'm not a Mitchell likes chocolate mice, but I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

Um, drumsticks. Now you can still get drumsticks, but not on the stick. Unless you go, can you get me in those retro boxes you were on about?

Cadbury Devotion And Cream Egg Techniques

SPEAKER_04 16:36

I think so. I think they are on the sticks in the retro boxes, but I do like the evolution of those because you've got the drumstick squishies nowadays.

SPEAKER_02 16:44

I love a packet of drumstick squishies.

SPEAKER_04 16:46

They're good. Yeah. They are good. Yeah. I'm a huge fan.

SPEAKER_02 16:49

I think they've got MSG in them because once I start, I can't stop.

SPEAKER_04 22:14

Yeah, I love a cream egg. But if they were any bigger, I think they'd be too sickly now.

SPEAKER_02 22:18

How do you eat a cream egg? I know this is uh a controversial topic. Do you do you bite the top off and get your tongue in there and lick all the gooe goodness out of the room?

SPEAKER_04 22:25

I was gonna say I'm not really sure how to put this in an eloquent way, but yeah. Like I mun I I take that f the top comes off. Yeah. And then I go I give it a good old lick out, and then uh and then um and then I eat the rest of the chocolate. Do you? Sometimes I quite because I quite like the chocolate with the sweetness in the middle.

SPEAKER_02 22:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:45

So I'll bite the top off, I'll lick as much as I can out, and then I'll just like the rest of the egg.

SPEAKER_02 22:51

See, now I don't like Cadbury's cream eggs. What? I'm not a fan because it's too they are very sickly.

Jelly Tots And Realising It’s A Two-Parter

SPEAKER_04 22:57

That's why I can't imagine them being any bigger than they are. I like mini, uh like you can get a packet of them, the mini uh cream eggs. They're nice because they're very palatable.

SPEAKER_02 23:06

Yeah, I could probably eat that because it's just a mini, a small amount of tiny, yeah. Taste. A little taste, can you imagine if an Easter egg the size of a cream egg was filled with that gooey scent in it?

SPEAKER_04 23:17

Yeah, that would be too much. I'd have to eat that shit with a spoon over several evenings.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

Um you'd end up with the diabetes.

SPEAKER_04 23:25

Yeah, you would end up with the diabetes, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:28

The diabeticus. I'll have to send you a video later. If you know the stoner guy on TikTok, I don't know.

And this one guy goes on that, he like reacts to other people taking the cannabis gummies and helps them through it. So he's saying I like helps them through it like astronauts or space cadets, is what he calls them. And this one guy says, uh, he says, Why do they make the gummies so strong? Why can't you make them one THC instead of ten THCs? And then I could have like up to ten, and this stoner guy goes, Well, if they did that for me, I'd have the diabetes. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say I like man ten hippie calories.

SPEAKER_04 24:13

Yeah, it's so funny, so funny. Ten mega is really not that much.

SPEAKER_02 24:18

No, no.

SPEAKER_04 24:19

It's really not.

SPEAKER_02 24:20

So the query curly whirlies.

SPEAKER_04 24:23

Yeah, I mean now. They are still a thing. I find curly whirlies incredibly difficult to eat without getting chocolate. Like the chocolate breaks off the do you know what I used to love doing with curly whirlies?

SPEAKER_02 24:35

Go on. Putting them in the fridge.

SPEAKER_04 24:37

See, that is just that is serial killer behaviour because that is just how do you eat it?

SPEAKER_02 24:43

SPEAKER_04 24:50

Yeah, nah. I like them, but they're just too awkwardy.

SPEAKER_03 24:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:56

I find the same thing with a flake, I'm sure it's coming up.

SPEAKER_00 24:58

SPEAKER_04 25:07

The next one.

SPEAKER_00 25:09

Yeah, we used to get bigger ones. Used to get bigger ones, bigger chom bars.

SPEAKER_04 25:17

They're fine. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

Again, smaller version of a curly whirling, very similar to a curly whirling.

SPEAKER_04 25:22

Yeah, I I enjoy them more than a curly whirling. They're easier to eat. But yeah, not something I choose, but I'd happily eat.

SPEAKER_02 25:28

Now the next one can get in the frickin' bin. I know. Whoever invented fries Turkish Delight or fries is of fries is wrong.

SPEAKER_04 25:39

I don't understand why you would want to eat soap. I know. I just cannot fathom that. It's so rank. I I cannot, I cannot. I I hate that more than anything else we've talked about on this podcast. I will, I will, I will eat a sour sweet over Turkish.

SPEAKER_02 25:55

I will I will not go near Turkish Delight. No. I've had real Turkish Delight. Real Turkish Delight from Turkey is nice.

SPEAKER_04 26:03

SPEAKER_04 26:07

I don't know if you've got it in here, but um those what they're called, those marzipan fruits.

SPEAKER_02 26:12

Oh my god, no, I didn't write about them, but they're rancid.

Wrapping The 80s And What’s Next

SPEAKER_02 26:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:21

Get in the bin.

SPEAKER_02 26:22

So we'll move on from Turkish Delight.

SPEAKER_04 26:23

Yeah, not a fan.

SPEAKER_02 26:24

Bounties.

SPEAKER_04 26:25

I think they're fine if you like coconut.

SPEAKER_02 26:27

Yeah, I like a coconut bounty.

SPEAKER_04 26:29

I would happily give my bounty to you. Uh it's not something that I like.

SPEAKER_02 26:33

I like a bounty.

SPEAKER_04 26:34

But I can see why people would like it. I'm not, I'm not against this one. It's just more like coconut's not my thing.

SPEAKER_02 26:39

Yeah. But then, of course, we've got the the topic bar. You ever had a topic?

SPEAKER_04 26:43

No.

SPEAKER_02 26:43

SPEAKER_04 27:04

Oh, Nestle.

SPEAKER_02 27:05

Nestle. Because then you've got the classics that are still around, which which we had, which was like flakes.

SPEAKER_04 27:12

I'm looking at the pictures now. Okay. Topic looks like a Mars bar.

SPEAKER_02 27:15

SPEAKER_04 27:20

Aren't marathons the new Snickers? Yes.

SPEAKER_02 27:23

They were called marathons back then. Yeah. Yeah. Uh moving away from chocolate slightly, we also got opal fruits. Do you know what opal fruits are now?

SPEAKER_04 27:32

Uh yeah. Are opal fruits similar to pear drops?

SPEAKER_02 27:36

No.

SPEAKER_04 27:37

SPEAKER_02 27:38

You can still get opal fruits. Can you? But they're not called opal fruits anymore. They're called Starburst.

SPEAKER_04 27:42

Ah.

SPEAKER_02 27:43

So when I was a kid, they were called Opal Fruits.

SPEAKER_04 27:45

Ah, Starburst is a such a much better name than opal fruits.

SPEAKER_02 27:49

Don't know why, but in it was in 1998 they announced I Googled that when it was they changed the name. 1998, they changed the opening. In my time. In my time.

SPEAKER_04 27:57

No wonder I've never heard of them. Yes, Starburst. Yeah. I oh I don't know whether I need to should I confess this? Go on. Oh, confess this. You know you used to give me lunch money at school. Well, uh, where I went to school, and I I'm not going to say it just to hide a little bit of my lost here a little bit, but um, there was a leisure centre attached to my school that you could walk into at lunch if you wanted to.

SPEAKER_02 28:19

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Still there.

SPEAKER_04 28:20

But the only reason anyone ever went in there was because one, you could get a hot chocolate in there from a machine. Two, there was a vending machine. And I always used to buy star first from the channel.

SPEAKER_02 28:29

Did you really? Yeah, I did.

SPEAKER_04 28:30

I don't think I ever told you that. Well. Yeah, start first.

SPEAKER_02 28:33

Confession time.

SPEAKER_04 28:34

Confession time. Yeah. And then you were like the good kid, like, because i I didn't always like all of the flavours, so I knew someone that like really enjoyed the green ones and the orange ones, so I always used to give them out and keep all the strawberry ones to myself. Confession time.

SPEAKER_02 28:49

So it chewets were very similar to kind of opal fruits, greens, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 28:53

Same thing.

SPEAKER_02 28:54

Yeah, same sort of thing. And then there was a chocolate bar that we used to have called 54321.

SPEAKER_02 30:45

No, no, no. It didn't have a ball in it, but because of the way the it was actually shaped for like a whistle.

SPEAKER_04 30:49

Damn.

SPEAKER_02 30:50

SPEAKER_02 30:55

Candy whistles. Candy whistles. That was great fun, they were. Um I don't think you can get them anymore.

SPEAKER_04 31:02

No. I don't, I don't, I've never seen them.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

But the other thing that we used to have in the 80s. It was acceptable in the eighties. That wouldn't be acceptable now. Because we could buy chocolate cigarettes.

SPEAKER_04 31:17

Now, I have a really weird, vivid memory of being really young at like one of those Haven holiday parks with my dad. And I do recall having they were candy cigarettes. I don't I I think they had like a really loose paper round them, and they were they there was just like a chunk of cylindrical chocolate in them.

SPEAKER_03 31:39

Right.

SPEAKER_04 31:40

They didn't taste very nice, but I uh for some reason I had them and I used to eat them just as a as a roll of paper. And I remember candy cigarettes used to come in these tiny little boxes, almost like the raisin boxes. And the ones that I only remember had Spider-Man on them. Well the ones that- Isn't that a weird thing to think?

SPEAKER_02 31:58

The The ones that we had when I was a kid, they were packaged like real cigarettes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:02

They were like Marlborough or Yeah, see, I think we had them. I definitely had them as a kid, but they weren't packaged as cigarettes, they were more in the raisin boxes. Do you know what I mean? Like the little tiny cigar.

SPEAKER_02 32:12

Well, we did have candy cigarettes as well. We had candy sort of like uh the white candy style, but we actually had chocolate ones and they would have come in the paper around them as well.

SPEAKER_04 32:21

Yeah, that's what I meant earlier. Like um like chocolate. They had like uh edible paper around them. Yeah, the paper never really seemed edible.

SPEAKER_02 32:27

Oh no, but hang on a minute. If I remember rightly, I think when I was really young, the paper was edible, but then as I grew up, the paper wasn't edible or This is exactly what I mean.

SPEAKER_04 32:37

This is exactly what I remember. The Spider-Man was you'd get a tattoo in them. Yes. You'd get a tattoo that you like a fake tattoo that you could put on.

SPEAKER_02 32:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:46

Um, but as for paper cigarettes.

SPEAKER_02 32:48

Yeah, have a look, have a look at chocolate 80s chocolate cigarettes. Pull up a picture of those. You could probably put some of these pictures on the uh video as well.

SPEAKER_04 32:55

Uh you say that, but that's yeah. See, they actually look, yeah. See, you've got the actual butt and the white bit. I don't remember there being a butt at all. They were just white.

SPEAKER_02 33:05

Yeah, that's what I remember.

SPEAKER_04 33:06

Yeah, that's not what we had.

SPEAKER_02 33:08

Actual proper, proper cigarettes.

SPEAKER_04 33:09

Yeah, they they look like a pack of cards almost as well. Um paper cigarettes, if I put in um nouties, let's see if there's slightly different. Because I'm sure. Oh no, they're just coming up the same ones that you had.

SPEAKER_02 33:24

Yeah, I don't well you can't get them anymore. They would have they would have been banned.

SPEAKER_04 33:28

I I am almost 90% sure that they didn't have the butt section on them. They were just white. I I am that's all I remember. And they were and they were they were just a cylindrical bit of chocolate. The chocolate wasn't that nice, and the paper wasn't edible.

SPEAKER_01 33:45

Whistle lollies.

SPEAKER_04 33:46

Oh, damn.

SPEAKER_01 33:47
