    Hedgehog crisps, and the ones with the little bags to add your own salt.

    I'm sure Whippy Dave, the kids favourite ice cream man, still sells cider lollies.

    On the lemon theme, there used to be a choc ice style ice cream but instead of chocolate it had a yellow lemony outside - my mother loved them. Cant remember what they were called, and they were short-lived anyway.

    What was the ice cream in the little plastic thing with a rank chewingum ball at the bottom? Was it a popeye or a screwball or somthing like that?

    Had a cider lolly from the van next to the cutty sark a few weeks back - it was top draw and transported me back 30 years.

    got a good book out of the library by Phillip Glennister (Life on Mars) that i'm reading at the moment - it's much better than i thought it would be - all about comparing things from the 70's / 80's to now. Space dust anyone? What about the round things you used to get 3 in a packet and they were hard to start with and ended up as chewing gum - not as hot as red devils, gobstopperish - there was a big craze on them in the early 80's.

    Slightly different but my mum used to give us Halva as a treat.

    if you've never had it and have a sweet tooth you will love it. Sort of a Seseame and nut paste. Any way I found some in a Polish deli (my mum is half Polish) and then in Tesco's.

    like being 7 again.

    I remember something that came in packets of three but I think you've got the bit about chewing gum and being hard at the start the wrong way around.

    Used be over the moon when mum or dad would let us have either a 10 or 20p mix up. Would have a bag full of white mice, flying saucers, teeth. Nearly die when I see the price of pick and mix in the cinema.

    Dan's right, I remember them. It was like a gob stopper with a bubble gum centre.

    Where did you hear that Dazzo?


    Used to have 99 Flakes when I was kid back in the, ahem ......1960s.

    Ice cream cornet was 6d...... or 9d with a 99 Flake.
    That's 2 and a half p, or just under 4p with the 99 Flake.

    And yes, they were called 99s back then, right Len?


    Jubblies (cherry flavour) were 4d (less than 2p in today's money).
    Cider lollies too, which us littl'uns called "beer lollies".


    And Lyons Maid "Zoom" and Walls "Sky Ray" lollies, with free 'cigarette' cards to collect.
