* Fizzy jerks from the vending machine at the swimming pool
* Astros being the coolest of sweets
* Cool Polo varieties- Citrus Sharp, Gummy, Spearmint, Fruit and Polo O's spring to mind
* 10p crisps in all of their maizy goodness
* The joy of getting a toy/token or something in your cereal or crisps. Is my imagination getting the better of me or were Disco crisps that you kiss really a thing? Tongue dying crisps were
* Crisp sandwiches for lunch
* When you found a chewy Malteser in your pack
* Fruity ice lollies- Fruit Pastille, Calippo, Zooms, Twisters and those Frozen Alphabet Letters
* Harry Potter themed sweets
* Woolworths pick 'n' mix
* Opal fruits being so much better than Starburst, lemon and lime were separate for a start
* Impressing friends with an old school version of the cinnamon challenge involving how many Atomic Fireballs you could keep in your mouth at once
* Smartie Cookies coming onto the scene
* Eating chew bars (Irn-Bru, Wham, Lanky Larry's and Blue Rave) in secret as your Mum hated you eating them. On a similar note, the equally discouraged bags of Swizzels Mix
* The incredible Caterpillar Cake
* Mum always buying too many treats for the guisers at Halloween- yey!
I hope that I have succeeded in stirring some memories. What were your favourite treats growing up?
