Gold Nuggets.
Brown Mice.
Crispets.
Sound familiar? They should; you used to eat them! If you take a moment to remember your childhood days, spent frolicking in playgrounds and going to your local candy shop, then the memories will come rushing back to you.
Retro sweets used to comprise part of your daily meals, and you probably never got tired of them.
However, just as everything changes, eventually these candies became obsolete and were replaced by new brands that will never be as dear to you.
If you feel your mouth-watering, and you have the sudden urge to buy those old candies, then do not fret, because, believe it or not, they are still available for purchase! All you have to do is find a supplier, whether offline or online, and before you know it, you will have a bag of freshly-made, traditional candies sitting right in front of you.
Although some brands are truly no longer sold today, you can find solace in eating some of the other familiar retro sweets.
How about some White Chocolate Fish and Chips? This creamy white chocolate variant of the popular British meal has always tickled your taste buds and will still do so today.
You might remember playing with the fish before actually eating them, or giving them out to your friends.
Your mouth might be watering from the memory of holding that small sweet in your hand and then placing it in your mouth.
Great, isn't it? Black Jacks may also sound familiar to you.
Another brand of classic British sweets, they are aniseed-flavoured and chewy.
Those black rectangles, despite their small size, could turn your tongue black in a matter of seconds.
They may not be the best meal to munch on before going out on a date, but you will laugh with your friends as you compare your tongues, and unwrap more of these delicious candies.
Flying Saucers were another popular brand of retro sweets.
The name is very fitting, for they truly did resemble colourful mini-flying saucers...
No doubt that they still do! You can probably recall the lovely fruit flavoured sherbert in that wafer shell.
Colorful and tangy, you will be munching on a candy that's out of this world.
Remember Shrimps? Are you thinking of the animal, or the candy? If you are a true seventies or eighties child, you can probably recall Barratts Shrimps - the crustaceans that were soft chewy instead of shelled, and tasted like raspberry.
You can still enjoy them today, for they are sold in boxes.
You also have the option of buying the bigger version: Super Shrimps! The Wham Bar is legendary among candies.
Unfortunately, it cannot be found in most stores today.
The good news is that you can still purchase them! An iconic part of the 80s period, Wham bars were some of the best-selling candies in any sweets shop, and you could never resist buying one to take home after school.
That sweet raspberry flavour that made your tongue tingle is still as chew as it was back then, and you will still be able to experience the bits of fizzy things embedded in the bars.
Hungry yet? Then stock up on candies now and create new, old memories for the future!
