That Pacers ad reminds me of the one that ends with a Scottish professor-type saying to one of his students 'Put them away...laddie'...was that a Pacers one or something else? I'm sure it was for a chewy mint...

Yeah loved them.
Also Cola Rola Balls. Looked like ball bearings with a little bit of aniseed inside. Apparently discontinued because the coating was actually aluminium!

Ok Ovalitinees, sing along to these:



Rowntree's tots please yourself,
4 to choose from along the shelf,
Jelly Tots — your favourite sweet,
Candy Tots — made to eat,
And Teddy Tots — all shiny bright,
Tiger tots — liquorice for you to bite.



Smack your chops, lick your lips,
Eat a lovely bag of Chipsticks.


Gimme Mint Cracknel and I don’t care
Gimme Mint Cracknel and I don’t care
Gimme Mint Cracknel and I don’t care …
It’ll chase those blues away!


Get into Orbit —
Orbit sugar free gum
For the coolest taste
A chewing gum ever had
And it’s kind to your teeth —
And that ain’t bad



Come, mister tally-man, tally me Cabana,
I want a Cabana and I want one now,
Coconut, caramel, cherries and milk chocolate,
I want a Cabana and I want one now!
Cab-a-a-na, Cab-a-a-a-na,
I want a Cabana and I want one now!


I’ll risk it
For a Swisskit!


What has a hazelnut in every bite? — TOPIC
Thick milk chocolate for your delight,
Nougat, caramel golden light,
And don’t forget a hazelnut in every bite


Toblerone,
Out on its own,
Made with triangular almonds
From triangular trees
And triangular honey
From triangular bees,
So, oh Mr Confectioner please,
Give me Toblerone.


5—4—3—2—1, 5—4—3—2—1
First bite into real milk chocolate, 5—4—3—2—1
Then crunch into light crispy rice, 5—4—3—2—1
Chew, chew, chew the caramel topping, 5—4—3—2—1
Uh huh — wafer and fondant too, 5—4—3—2—1
5—4—3—2—1, 5—4—3—2—1.

I used to love these chocolate balls with a mint flavoured shell, which were around in the mid-eighties. They came in a small cardboard container the size of a packet of ten fags.

Anyone have any idea what they were called? I could murder one right now.

Poppets?  

You can still get them. They have them at the co-op at Cusworth.

Don't think it's Poppets. The ones I was thinking about had choc on the inside and a crispy mint shell.

Had a quick google and couldn't find the buggers anywhere.

Were they the ones with a half white, half brown shell? Can't for the life of me remember what them 'uns were called.

Don't think so, I think they had a light blue or light green shell.

Are you sure you arent thinking of the Mint Tooty Frooties?  They were blue and green shades, but were chewy not choccy.

Mmmmm Tooty Frootys...   Love the orange ones,.. Ok question for you.. how come all orange sweets actually taste orangey, even smarties? Cos the other colours taste of nothing but sweets... Is it all in the imagination? ( orange any sweets are my favorite)

[Standanista]

It were kali and spanish in Sunny Cunny n'all.  And they weren't sweets, they were spice.

Orange smarties are the only ones which are not just chocolate.  They do indeed have orange flavour.

We did a survey on smarties at school when I was 10.
