Not a sweet but an ice cream. Can't remember what they were called but they were made by Walls and had toffee in the middle. I think they were named after one of the characters from the Beano?
Any other ice creams that were good but long gone?

Mind you, I liked Jamboree bags that had a few cheap sweets and a tacky plastic toy in them. And those tubes of bright yellow sherbet with a liqourice straw. Then there things that I think (believe it or not) were called Jubblies...a sort of ice lolly in a pyramid shape. One of my favourites were things called, rather imaginatively, Potato Puffs...which were, surprisingly enough, puffy bits of hollow potato shaped a bit like a mini shredded wheat but about half the size. They're not around any more, the nearest thing to the taste of them is Hoola Hoops, but obviously a completely different texture.

Lucky bags.....which were the same as Jamboree bags, and Mojos ( four for a penny , or a farthing each ) and little plastic cocktail glass shape full of hard chocolate with a minature plastic spoon.

And '' Force '' breakfast cereal......'' High 'oer the fence leaps Sunny Jim ''

'' Force is the food that fortifies him ''

I'll go now shall I ?
