This weeks theme set by Kate over at Kate Takes 5 is one I just had to join in with as it is right up my street – pick your top 5 favourite sweets from your childhood! I love sweets and nowadays I usually opt for Haribo or M & S Percy Pigs or Colin Caterpillar sweets, I have to say when Woolworths shut down I was upset because it meant I couldn’t pop in for their pick ‘n’ mix!!
Anyway, without any further ado here are the sweets I remember eating the most when I was younger.
1.) Cola Bottles – I like them in their fizzy form, in their giant format and also in the cherry cola fizzy flavour. They were and still are my favourites.
2.) Wham bars – I used to love these and even loosened a wobbly tooth while eating one!
3.) Refreshers – love the sherberty filling!
4.) Fruit Salad & Black Jacks – I have put these two together as one choice because I would always get them both and alternate them on my mouth! I only really liked the black jacks because it turned my Tongue black!
5.) Drumstick lolly – I really like getting it all in my mouth and not being able to talk for a few seconds! They are better nowadays because you can buy extra large ones!
Runners up included
*Lipsticks and necklaces made from sherberty sweets
*Highland Toffee Bars
**Prize for the WORST retro sweet? Why these of course – yuk!!
Thank you xx
ooooh just got your comment.
Yes we are agreed on 3 of those definitely

I still love drumstick lollies. 🙂
I hate parma violets. why would anyone like eating pot pourri? Fuck.
And you have reminded me of my love for candy lipsticks. And later on, push pops. Too many to mention! X
Thomas had a drumstick today! Mr Ali from the corner shop keeps giving them to him when we go in. Needless to say, Thomas wants to go to the corner shop every day after nursery!
Parma violets. Seriously, who ever thought they were a good idea?!
Brilliant post 🙂 x
I cannot blame Thomas for wanting to vist that shop every day 🙂
Parma violets are vile! However,someone doing this list put it as their 1st choice!!
Thank you for commenting x
I know parma VIlE-olets! Grosses! However, someone doing this list put it as their 1st choice so someone enjoys eating pot pourri lol! I agree there were too many good sweets to choose from 🙂 x
The Cola bottles are super yummy. We never had the violet lollies in Australia so can’t join in that debate…! They sound quite bizarre though
I don’t think you are missing out on anything, they taste like perfume! Really bizarre! However, some people must like their taste!
Oh I used to love Highland toffee! Had totally forgotten about it. (Also agree with your worst choice – can’t believe they appeared on anyones list!)
OMG I had totally forgotten WHAM bars, they were THE post swimming treat at the leisure centre when we were kids.
With oyu on sweetie necklaces too.
I can’t believe you didn’t like Parma Violets?! The Marmite of sweeties I guess! I loved them 😉
