Retro Sweets

I got an Xmas stocking from my lil sis delivered today.

And it was rammed full of retro sweets!

When I say retro sweets, I'm talking about all those kind of penny sweets and stuff that you could buy in the newsagent back in the day when we were kids. I had no idea you could even buy some of this stuff anymore! 


So what kind of retro sweets am I talking about?


Sherbert dip dab


Sherbert fountain - you know the one - the liquorice stick in a whole load of sherbert


Candy sticks - I remember I used to pretend they were cigarettes!


Rainbow drops


Fizz Wizz - that popping candy that you pour into your mouth and it makes all those crackling noises


Drumsticks - guaranteed to make your jaw ache from all the chewing


Love hearts and the love heart lipstick shaped one. Classic.


Sherbert powder lolly


Pink shrimps - I still LOVE those!!


Rainbow dust - a tube full of what is basically flavoured sugar


Fried eggs


Those pink and blue bubblegum flavoured fizzy bottles


A range of fizzy gummy sweets


A humungous gobstopper


Fizzers and parma violets - never was a fan of the latter


Old school gum balls


Candy necklaces and bracelets


Blackjacks and fruit salads - again, never was a fan of the latter


Amazing right? A whole stocking of stuff guaranteed to rot my teeth and make me fat.


I am gonna be hitting the gym so hard next year, I swear! I dunno what's happened over the last 6 months - I've just gotten so lazy!
