IN YOUR VIEW

WE asked Sunday Post staff and our Email Jury to “chews” their favourites sweeties…

Where to begin? Among others, I’d bring back Pink Panther bars, Cadbury’s Crème Teddy Bears, Fry’s Five Centres, Texan Bars, Fuses and Ice Breakers – each and every one a dentist’s nightmare!

Billy Higgins, Dundee.

Horehound rock. Did it taste of liquorice? Aniseed? Some other exotic spice? I have no idea. But, my, those dark, sticky fragments of rock were fantastic! Andy Clark, Cumbernauld. Spangles – I loved to sook them until I got a hole in the

middle! Fiona Reid, Forfar.

Mint Cracknel. It was a chocolate-covered mint bar, with the mint inside being almost luminous green. Texan Bars should be brought back, too. Not least because you could chew on them for several days without the bar getting any smaller. Steve

Finan, Angus.

I was always a fan of Fizz Wiz Popping Candy. It included an element of danger with the mysterious powder exploding in your mouth. Gordon Blackstock, Hamilton.

Liquorice toffee. I would have some when I got my sixpence pocket money. Bea Smith,

Doncaster.

I’d love to see the return of Frying Pan Lollies. Barry Fordyce, Montrose.

Irn Bru Bars. I remember running to the van to pick a few up for 10p a pop you can’t buy that class for that price these days. Chris Sichi,

Uddingston.

Butterscotch because they lasted for ages and tasted nice. Ronald James, Angus.

Anglo Bubbly. You could blow great bubbles with it, but more often than not they popped and got stuck in my fringe.

Sally McDonald, Aberdeen.

Liquorice Imps, Mitcham Mints, McGowan’s Highland Toffee – you name it, I ate it!

Davie Kerr, Lochaber.

There’s nothing like oldfashioned Cherry Lips and Floral Gums. My cravings for Floral Gums were so strong throughout my pregnancy, I named my daughter Daisy!

D. Donaghey, Angus.
