November 4, 2007 at 2:00 pm #45125posieMemberMy favourite were fizzle sticks. They came in green, orange and pink and they were yum. I wish they’d bring them back. I had a wispa for the first time in years the other day yum yum yum.

November 4, 2007 at 6:25 pm #45133HappymammyMemberThey are called lazer bars, i remember chocolate mice, white penny chewing gums, alphabet biscuits, When a sweet mix was 35p you would get the whole hour of mass out of one bag!!
The big boxes of smarties my dad use to bring home every week in the 80’s when he was on the labour! We would have to make them last for days! The 80’s where very hard how did we all get threw! I remember my neighbour having to cut up his bannisters where we lived in ballymum and using it for firewood because they had no money and 5 kids!!!!!!!!! Its all coming back now i could go on for hours! But my mum always made sure we never went without. I really appreciate them for what they did alot of people never made it back from the 80’s.. Oh god im getting all pregnanty hormonal!November 4, 2007 at 9:25 pm #45155ed1Participantoh the chocolate mice, loved them. those fizzle sticks were lovely too, i think i am thinking of the right ones 😕 . god i remember when you could go into a shop with 50p and get a bar, crisps and drink for it.

November 4, 2007 at 9:42 pm #45158posieMemberFizzle sticks were about the size of a pen. I loved 10p mixes and the fake teeth. Quarters of apple drops, bon bons etc. Yeah I remember when 50p was loads of money. Things like mars bars etc were luxuries. I remember them costing about 35p but you could get a mint crisp or chomp for 10p. God I sound soooooooooooo old 😳
