It was only after the anti-smoking campaign started that they stopped calling them this. We also were able to buy 'candy tobacco'. Long strings of coconut covered in cocoa powder and sugar.

But if I remember correctly, I think it came in a plastic tape dispenser so it wouldn’t accidentally unroll into a big mess. I also ate Fruit Roll Ups as well. They unrolled into a sheet with perforated shapes like stars on it, that you would pull out from the sheet and eat, then you would be left with a stencil that you could use to draw shapes with, or just eat it. I always just ate it and I didn’t know anyone who actually used it as a stencil even though it was advertised on tv for that use.

Then Damien, who joined the company only 5 months ago says “what about small brown wrinkled ball-shaped things with a disgusting tasting liquid inside a hard outer shell that you only get once you’ve been sucking them for 3 minutes. Let’s call them Camel Balls and shape them like they are camel testicles and have two in a pack”. Can you imagine the stunned silence then?

The candy sticks I too remember pretending they were cigarettes. Some brands were even called candy cigarettes when I was a kid.

"Lemonade" in Britain is not lemon juice and sugar but a fizzy lemon-flavoured soda!

For the USA/CANADA: British "lemonade" is closer to SPRITE or 7-UP

Another brilliant start to the week! But is there such a thing as an unnecessary A+N Taste Test? I think not...

My wife got a gift from a Canadian friend, it was soap-flavoured gum. That's right, soap-flavoured. Strangely, it wasn't bad.

I hope your dentist appointment is slightly cheaper than your last one! (I rewatched that video only yesterday!) I also love your accidentally brilliant comic timing! Love this vid! PS: I immediately went and checked your knick knack video, and to my relief saw I had previously liked it, so I know I've been around awhile lol. And you tried the Rib and Saucy back in 2018, right after the fish ones XD
