Yep Grandmoom-remember those boiled lollies. What about a confectionary-called a -choo choo bar. Had a cartoon of a train on the packet. Your teeth and lips would be black for a  week-lol...Richo.

Yes the choo choo bars and the white knights and red skins too.

Are we paying too much to ebay I am paying too muchalmost 10% in fees. seriouly thinking of leaving,,???

I doubt if anyone will stop you flea 🙂

Funny Gil, I was going past one of those lollie machines yesterday and thought I recognised boiled lollies in it.  They weren't of course, but it did remind me of them.

Musk sticks, straps of licorice - didn't you just love going into a shop and seeing the jars of lollies all lined up to stare at and wish you had more money?

There is a shop in Battery Point, Hobart that is set up exactly like that will huge jars of lollies and sweets.  It's wonderful 🙂

I remember Black Cat Gum. It was licorice flavoured bubble gum. hmm, can't imagine why they don't make that any more......

Crunching boiled lollies must have tested one's teeth!

I remember a black and white striped boiled sweet called a humbug {???}.

yep remember humbugs too, musk sticks...loved them. and remember the hearts with writing on them?

I remember humbugs, straps of licorice, musk sticks & tiny little round lollies that came in a mixture of pink and white, they were yummy and have no idea what they were called, but can see them even now.

Use to get them from a little lollie shop.

I remember the hearts with writing on.......

I remember mint leaves that tasted like mint.......nothing like what they sell today & have the hide to call mint leave.

Evening seniors.

What about the-Fags-the lollie cigarettes.

Minature packet just like the real ones.

Would not be in a shop thesedays.
