Vim is still avaiable but now in a plastic tub !! (who remembers the rust marks where the canister had stood!!) Izal is still on sale, saw some in Mo-------ons only the other day, in the flat pack !!

think they still do camp coffee(No pun intended )

My favourite crispbread to have with cheese was called Vita weat .

It was made by Peek Freans and I haven't seen them for years.

I just googled and discovered that they still have a version of them in Australia

I wonder if they still taste as good?

Here's a good site for nostalgia.

Sparkling Sandie,
I think you must be thinking of Ajax instead of Vim,
Used to love Jubblies, espeacially the apple ones, what about Ciderette lollies, and chocosticks, they were like wethers sweets but in a long twist with chocolate running down the middle.
What about Parma violets, everlasting Toffee strips. Flash Powder, Victory V lozenges, Rainbow Crystals.

Will have a think and see what else I can remember.

Helen

Blackjacks, Fruit Salads, Caramacs, Flying Saucers, Sherbert Dips and Parma Violets are all still going :)

pacers (white and green stripped sweets mint flovour)

½d Spanish (Liqourice)
It was just a small hard stick that you dipped in your Calie (Sherbert)
Not the bigger ones with the flat spoon on the end you can still get those.
Even the Chemist sold the small ones was supposed to be good for you to keep you regular lol

Everlasting Strips
Poor Bens
Parma Violets


Not sweets but the Ice Cream Sandwich that they made themselves at the shop
They had a metal frame they put the first wafer in then spread Ice Cream in with a wooden Spatula then the other wafer on top. It came out like a Sandwich. Oh you felt so grown up if you had one of those instead of a Cornet only adults ate those usually.

Happy Days

Sue
I buy Vita Wheat all the time. They are a really Hard Crispbread. They have diffrent Varieties of them now but all equally as good.
They even have a larger Sandwich size now too. I love them I like anything that's crunchy. Hubby compains when I eat them as he says he can hear me crunching lol
