Jeely Spogs, to be precise. Top of my list, too. Whoever said Sports Mixtures is a person of taste but I've never seen them in the free sweeties selection. Jumbo liquorice comfits would be in my bag. Aka torpedoes; aka 'pedoes. Those big white chocolate buttons with sprinkles on them, please. Jellygators - white foam on the bottom, multicolored jelly on top. Or the monster snakes but you often have to pay for them. Chocolate honeycomb. You can keep your chocolate raisins. Rabbit poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cremola foam It was pink You can still get Cremola foam, it had been off the shelves for years (since 1998) then released under the name "kramola fizz" in 2005, then was bought by a different company and re-released as "krakatoa foam", but they went bust in 2014. Someone else has bought the rights and it's now available again under the original name. It's the product that refuses to die even though everybody making it goes out of business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
