Spellczech Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Another 2 which I cannot find original pics for are the 10p Wham bar which started at about 5cm by 15 cm - flipping enormous! and got smaller and smaller until it disappeared into a black hole somewhere... plus the Irn Bru Chews which I remember as being individual, rectangular, wrapped and in a packet of about 8 but I can only find pics as a bar like the Wham bar but that was later IIRC...

When my mum used to say we are going to visit granny my eyes lit up as I knew she’d have white bags full of sweets although she went through a spell of always bringing home bags of lion bars and wasn’t keen on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mint Wispa was superb and should definitely make a return. Last time I seen them was in Cosco years ago, I bought a whole box of them.

Munchies & Mintola's are still around, albeit smaller of course and near enough £1 a packet, not had them in absolute ages. Mackintosh's Golden Cup, was always a favorite of mine.

There was the El Mexicano sweet shop just down from the Spar on the other side. The newsagent I remember was round the corner towards the chippy. R S McColls, maybe Birrells originally?
