sweet treats

[@carolineolsenarnold7039]

Sherbet fountains and flying saucers, oohhhhh, those were the days.👏👏😲😄

[@sixtieschild1035]

had a flying saucer at xmas boy it was sweet

[@Pjs1882]

We would eat the liquorice when it got too soggy to suck up the sherbet and put the granules in a saucer,mix it with a bit of tap water and slurp up the froth!

[@ianorme5534]

We had a shop at the end of the RD . Penny sweets galore and always plenty of bubblegum cards to buy . God I miss those days . Loved the 60s

[@peterjf7723]

I remember when walking to school in 1968 I found a half crown on the pavement. That was serious cash for an eight year old. I went to the shop near the school and bought a big bag of mixed sweets.

[@petertheaker9015]

Half crown was two weeks sweet money great times my friend 👍👍

[@sixtieschild1035]

half a crown, what a find

[@petertheaker9015]

Once lost a ten shilling note had gone to shop but lost it on way did l get a strapping lot of money in 1967 👍👍

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

I loved the sweets yes we did not have sweets every day it was a treat I loved Saturday morning pictures buy your tub of ice cream or a lolly. We are all blessed to have had those days and great times for us all. To be able to look back

I loved a stick of barley sugar from the chemist, usually given one for a long car journey

[@sixtieschild1035]

wonderful taste it had

[@JohnMartin-ux2rm]

My dad had a shop in the good old days when the choc bars were so thick and so much better with less sugar than today. I must admit I tried them all but Spanish Gold was just out of this world . My taste buds have a great memory !!

[@sixtieschild1035]

you can still get it loose but will it taste the same?

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

LOved Spanish Gold too! You could end up with a mouthful of very well sooked coconut. Excellent.

[@Pjs1882]

I loved The Spanish Gold in mid 60's when it was really thin. In later years it was thicker and didn't have the same coconut:brown sugar ratio. Even so,the taste was fenominal 😊

[@petertheaker9015]

Oh wow loads of memories took me back to when l was six thank you l had the wrapping of the wombles chocolate bars all over my books for school great days thank you my friend Peter t darlington 👍👍👍👍

Omg the Milky Bar advert... that just brought tears to my eyes. Going to the corner shop and getting 2 pence worth of whatever, sweet peanuts, sour apples, chocolate toffee drops, then asking "how much?" when you went to pay haha! We used to do the same with the alluminium foil wrappers for the blind, I had your same thpughts back then. What a brilliant video, cheers mate!!

i’m only 19 so this is more educational than nostalgic for me, but the whole channel reminds me of my grandad, so comforting

Well im a Grandad and I am sure many subscribers are Grandparents so welcome young one

[@Steve-ys1ig]

There used to be a little sweet shop near where we lived which used to be full of jar of sweets - acid drops, bonbons, kayli, sherbet lemons, black jacks and many many more that I cannot remember. One toffee bar I remember was Highland Toffee - we used to suck it to see how long we could stretch the toffee bar out

[@sixtieschild1035]

yes Highland toffee, remember it well

[@waynewhite2323]

Wrigley's Spearmint Oxygen Gum. Very important when playing Marine Boy.

[@sixtieschild1035]

Marine boy, so cool

Love the trip down memory lane 😜 Great. I remember all the Sweet's and you got your money's worth then, unlike today big price small portion. It's true what they say, has you get older, things get smaller and the prices go up. Love your channel 😍 brilliant 👌👍🙌😀 I would love to get some retrospective sweetie's and the right size and the price I paid back in the 60s.👍

Just watched it for tenth time with tears in my eyes thank you once again perfect memories 👍👍👍🤗🤗

[@sixtieschild1035]

Glad you enjoyed it Peter

[@joanne26]

I remember with my pocket money buying the strawberry pink bubble gum called Bazooka Loved messing with it. At junior school opposite was the local newsagent. I would go in and ask for 1 penny bag of ‘teeth rotters’ Black cat sweets👍 👍 I would have eaten them by the time I went into school. Yes everything was full of sugar but you had plenty of exercise at school and at home. Sherbet was just fantastic I’d eat a lot of it Caylie (spelling?) was fantastic Dip Dabs😀😀😀😀👍 👍 Treats as well Animal bars👍 👍 Bar Six and Old Jamaica bar And lastly Parma Violets❤️❤️❤️👍 👍 👍

[@ArtJourneyUK]

We'd get 2oz of sweets on a Friday as our end of the week treat. Always looked forward to those ainseed balls or pear drops! Then my dad got a job at the A&BC bubblegum factory in Spilsby Road, Harold Hill...they made Bazooka Joes and the cards with gum in them, used to love my dad coming home with ill-gotten gains! Fond memories!

[@sixtieschild1035]

wow bet you had a cracking card collection

[@tonycrosbie3846]

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Brilliant! Barrets sherbet fountain tubes are a modern shadow of their former selves - plastic false liquorice. Uck! Sweet tobacco my favourite too. Bazooka Joes were great for the cartoons, loved them. So many fantastic memories from lots of those. Popeye candy sticks (aka cigarettes) were great for stuffing in a few at a time - no doubt junk but tasted super! And I've never been a smoker despite consuming even the ones with the red 'lit' ends, lol! The milky bar kid was on one of the funny chat shows two or three years ago (Graham Norton maybe?).There are a few shops (one in Glasgow Barrowland area) where you can get some of these old memory sweets. Nice to catch one of your excellent videos again. Take care! ATB, Terry

I forgot about the Confederate money. I've been zoomed beck to my childhood. There was a PK chewing gum machine at our grocers and if the arrow on the handle was facing west, you got 2 packs.

Anyone remember the PROPER red liquorice before they started making it soft and strawberry flavoured? I loved that stuff 😋

I once spent all my pocket money on Black Jacks and Fruit Salad. 2/6 x 4 chews for 1d = 120 sweets! Cost me a fortune in dental bills over the years. My only clear memory of my grandma (Nan) who died when I was 5, was the fact she kept a supply of Nuttall's Mintoes. More unusual were Cadbury's Lucky Numbers.
