I remember having this on my ice cream

It's amazing just how much sugar we ate, I suppose we were a lot more active than many of today's kids.

Pacers were they the spieremint chewy sweets? Tasted a bit like toothpaste?

Great thread by the way. I was thinking of starting an 80s TV thread but I guess this covers the lot.

Just so many merrories, just brilliant!

How did they get through that without breaking into laughter?

Those are the ones.

We used to have swimming lessons on a Thursday evening, we'd go across to the shop opposite Stechford Baths afterwards to spend our pocket money and Pacers were a favourite for a while.

I don't think that a Wham bar will ever be beaten.

My dad used to always buy us refreshers if we were going to the coast or on a long journey.

I think my sister still has her View Master

After seeing the film this game gave me nightmares. I can still see the box sat on top of an old, dark wood wardrobe that was in my room! I used to dream that my bedroom filled with water and I was left floating on my bed in heavily shark infested waters. It's amazing how a child's mind works

Great game though

Loved the jaws films. The entire series of them used to be on each Christmas or New Year.

Saint & Greavsie meets Spitting Image

 

[andyc941]

Such a sad film

 

[Aviador]

Loved spitting image was that the 80s crikey I thought it was the 90s. I could never understand why my parents were watching a puppet show late at night laughing their socks off. ROFL.

Such a sad film

I think that was one of the first films I saw at the cinema.

....the cinema on the local high street.

I remember something similar to Candy Whistles, but without the plastic 'whistle'. The whole sweet was made out of some sugary compound.

Chocolate Limes? Mmmmm, I'd go out and buy a bagful tomorrow (are they still available?).

As for Walnut Whips, I swear that the original ones also had a walnut at the base of the whip inside the chocolate coating. Honestly, I swear!
