You mean jam & marmite eaten together? Euch, that's definitely the weirdest I've read so far!

Had forgotten Cremola foam. I used to love that! Whatever happened to it? It's like all the sweets I used to eat - sweet tobacco & cigarettes. Isn't it great that political correctness took these things away?  I used to love them & never grew up to be a smoker, or chew baccy, for that matter

WOW! There's a few "rich" kids on this branch.
Nearest I came to jam as a kid was when it was placed on Beechams powder to help with the horrible taste. 
Anyone remember Imps in the small tin or Parma violets?

Gobstoppers - huge hard balls that you stuck in your mouth and sucked for about an hour. The stopper would turn different colours as it slowly grew smaller. Parent's loved it cos' it shut us up!
Luck Bags - bought for threepence, always had a useless surprise gift, (such as a 1" plastic comb, a whistle, a luck charm, a ring, to toy gun (2"), etc...
The contents of the bag could be bought seperately for about twopence, but the thrill of not knowing the contents made it worth paying the extra penny.
Jubilee - a strange shaped block of orange ice wrapped tightly in oily cardboard making it a challenge requiring a lot of imagination on how to open and eat it! |
A few gobstoppers would be useful for certain people around HH. Never were my thing though.
Jubilee was know as Jubbly in England, hence the London expression Luvvly Jubbly used by Del Boy in OFAH.
My funnies were about the same as Dawn although I would not turn my nose up at them now with the exception of dog biscuits.
I was never forced to eat anything that I did not like. Fortunately for my mum that meant almost everything but never other children or pets.

Friend's in HH asked for this in a RCP ("Red Cross Parcel") about 7/8 years ago. I was convinced I had seen it "only the other week" but on asking at my local "grocer" was surprised to be informed by the owner(most knowledgeable in his trade) that it was actually discontinued in 1990. I was (and still am) convinced I have bought/tasted it since 1990 - his suggestion was "old stock" - bit like you know who's Cream Eggs!!!
21/7 Happened to meet "my grocer" yesterday - spoke of CF - told me I'm all wrong (as usual) - CF was diccontinued in Oct 1998! Oh well!

never ate this but always brought them to school and gave to other kids, especiallly young dumb ones.
black jelly beans, shiny black kidney bean shaped beans that im told are liqurice flavour, but we had so much crack giving them away, and we had an endless supply from our goats ass, dropping them all over our back yard.
Sad story later though, put the joke back on us.
Our parents told us our beloved goat was to big to live at home any more, so my dad to set it free.
What a horrible winter we had eating a strange tough brown meat every day or two.
