Soor Plooms
Soor Plooms - This is my favourite sweet name ever! But the star of the show isn`t the name, it`s the sweet - lovely and sour, but in a deliciously fruity yummy way (not in a lip-curling, mouth puckering acid drop way!) Plum-flavoured boiled sweets that hail from Scotland (as if you couldn`t tell from the name!) - otherwise known as Sour Plums, but that`s just boring... long live the Soor Ploom!!!

Dip Dabs
Dip Dabs - An absolute classic if you grew up in Blighty in the 70s and 80s! A sachet full of fluffy white zingy sherbet with that unmistakable red juicy lolly stuck in the middle. I don`t know about you, but I could never resist bypassing the lolly and pouring a load of the fizzy sherbet into my mouth - . how uncouth (but how delicious!). Seeing the packet, which has only been modified slightly (why DO they do that?), instantly takes me back. Oh the simple joys of a Dip Dab!

Space Dust - Cherry
Cherry Fizz Wiz - everyone remembers Space Dust don`t they? Some called it Moon Rocks or Moon Dust, others Popping Candy... but the recipe was still the same.Put a little of it in your mouth... and feel your tongue tingle with all of the crackles that followed (knocks the snap, crackle and pop of Rice Crispies into a cocked hat!). Or put a load in... and feel your mouth explode! Excellent! This particular version is cherry flavour... for your delight and delectation!

Dolly Mixtures
Dolly Mixtures - If you want to jump into a great big tub of nostalgia, then get yourself a quarter of Dolly Mixtures! They`re so delicious, and so pretty, and did you know that they`ve been around since at least the 1920s... Anorak time - according to the Oxford English Dictionary, a dolly mixture is a `mixture of tiny coloured sweets of various shapes`. There are stacks of myths around relating to the origins of the iconic sweet, and nobody can agree on the exact date of origin. The story we love the best is this: Many believe that they originated around the time of the British Raj in India. Dal or Dahl in India are pulses (beans, peas, legumes) which are often made up of different sizes and colours.... so could Dally Mixture have led to Dolly Mixture? A long shot I know, but we love a bit of intrigue here!

Strawberry And Cream Bottles
Strawberry And Cream Bottles - it`s that classic combination of flavours yet again, strawberries and cream in a fab white chocolatey bottle shape. I remember in the good old days when we used to get milk delivered each morning by the milkman... rather than buying a 3 litre giant from Tescos (the only place we ever saw cartons that big was on American TV programmes... remember the Brady Bunch?... when we`d think to ourseleves `that`ll never happen here!`) And while I`m reminiscing, what ever happened to the cream off the milk? Now milk is the same colour throughout... what have they done with the gloopy bit at the top? And are there birds everywhere suffering from malnutrition because there aren`t any milk bottles to attack (our tops used to get savaged... little blighters!)
