after the crisps thread I thought I'd drag this one up,

these bring back fond memories for me, spending me dinner money on the way to school,

who can remember what kids TV show the music in the first one comes from, took me a while but I finally remembered.

Gold nugget bubblegum, ummm curly wurly, was amazed at space dust, loved the coconut tobacco, oh yeah and loved the 10 embassy for 29 and a half pence, whoops i was only 8 when i was buying them, stupid thing is the corner shop happily sold them too me

me and me mates had a good scam going for years, we had Oldham Brewery on our doorstep,
so we would climb over the wall and "borrow" a crate of empty Barr's pop bottles, so we could get the refund on the bottles,
did it for years and never got caught, kept us in fags as well, I remember you could buy fags in packets of 5 for about 14p.
