Lemonade Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I was just talking about this stuff the other day.I freaking loved that stuff.Someone was telling me it came in a clear plastic tin but i don't remember that as i always just bought the 2L bottles.As for Wham bars i loved them but only ever ate one when i was a kid when i had a loose tooth.Guaranteed to pull the bugger out.Wham bars were the shit, tho Batman bars and Irn Bru bars also kicked a bit of ass.

pogofish Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 (I liked Creamola foam....please don't batter me)True taste of my childhood that. Then we discovered how good the blue crystals tasted when mixed with neat vodka. Alcopops - Pah, who needs em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 the things i miss most are Zapp ice lollies and a sweet that i think was called Mars Secrets (dont hold me to that).it was like a chocolate nest on the outside wih a soft noughat on the inside.no one seems to know what im on about when i describe it.maybe they never existed and its all in my mind...Secrets were made by Cadbury's. You're not going mad, I miss them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Nicol Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Mountain Dew stained and destroyed everything it touched!Steven, maybey you know about Mountain Dew, but you know jack about opal fruits - 'Curly Wurly bars were banned in Ireland, along with a number of other confectionery brands such as Opal Fruits and Toblerone, until 1979' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
