John, excellent memories. Ernie points out that he is in fact too old to remember any of this......

If you want to wander down to Rayleigh, you can visit Sweet Memories. Super sweet shop stocking all these items, and more.

(if you are coming from Hockley remember the small shiny round things to buy stuff with, they stopped bartering with pigs a long while ago)

Space dust.....letting it crackle on yer tongue.

Didn't look for these but always stick in my memory:

Bazooka Joes bubble gum (little cartoon in each wrapper)
Mojos (3 for 1p, can you believe it)

Where did the last 30 odd years go...... :dontknow:

Mike Mason

can anyone remember the bubble gum that came with pictures of American Civil War battle scenes ..very violent ones...where's my collection gone?

Johnnyboy

Ha, yes, Bazooka Joes bubble gum, the worst tasting, driest, foulest bubble gum ever, but boy how we loved the cartoons on a little scrap of paper you could hardly read, bloody lovely.

Yes i hear there is a 'olde worlde' sweet shop in Rayleigh, but that means real shopping! Err..
