Bit of info.

All by hand. Literally millions of them as they were sent World Wide ! True.

Oxo crisps, Barratt Triffic, and huge bars of pink and white nougat. Sherbet Pips, American Hard gums,and Aniseed Twist. Lastly sticks of pink Peppermint Rock with the name Brighton running through it. A wonder i have ANY teeth left😊

Remember the old style fridges, before chest freezers existed? You, or we, had a small fridge, waist high, with the obligatory small freezer section at the top, with that swinging shut formica (or whatever it was!!) white lid!! That was about it until full length and chest freezers came in, my Mum and Dad bought a microwave from Bejam, also various fridge-freezers from there. In those days frozen food was considered the heights of sophistication!! Now people frown, if they say:-“What are you having for dinner?” and you say:-“Fishfingers, chips and peas!!” But I still love those foods and always will. No “clean eating” or faddy diets for me, I eat the same foods I have always eaten, which is why I miss the 1980s. I just don’t eat meat anymore, and I use soya, instead of cow’s milk. I cut out sugar in my tea nearly 40 years ago. Please somebody, get that Time Machine together, will you!! 😀

I think that was another one that got zapped by the Nutrition Police. I think it had some additive in it that they decided Could be carcinogenic or something. Why they couldn´t have just omitted that I don´t know. When you think of all the Junk and UPF people eat now and nothing is done about it.

[@Dan_druft]

Around 1977 I was at a party with my mates and we couldn't find anything to open the Party 7 with so one of the guys had a brilliant idea of using a carving knife using blunt force to puncture the can. Unfortunately by doing this the can had resistance to the blade smashing into it resulting in my friend's fingers sliding down the sharp blade nearly cutting off his fingers. There was blood everywhere and he was screaming for somebody to take him to hospital lol I couldn't stop laughing because it was so terrible I didn't know what to do. We eventually got the least pissed guy to drive him to hospital and get him some stitches. Happy days 🤣

Love this blast of nostalgia. United were my favourite ever bar/biscuit. We'd get one of them or a Trio or a penguin with our school lunch, sandwiches and a packet of crisps; Anyone remember Sky Divers crisps? They were a staple in our lunchbox, great times before the food police became a thing 👎. 👍 for this channel taking us back to the good days when people were free to live as they liked. Happy times for me in the late seventies/ eighties ❤

@@stuviewtv OK, I am going to admit this .... What you said about the "Savoy Truffle" song by the Beatles B L E W -M Y -M I N D ! . I never knew it was about a box of chocs 😮. I always imagined The Beatles relaxing in the cocktail bar at the Savoy hotel getting tiddly on odd named cocktails . I mean, a "Ginger sling" DOES sound like a cocktail ! I had to listen to the song whilst pausing your video with the picture of the choc selection ..... Totally threw me that did . To be fair, I had never heard of GOOD NEWS chocs by Mackintosh . Must have gone out of production before I got old enough to remember them .

It was good to see the Party Seven (and white dog 💩) make a victorious comeback in LIFE ON MARS. When I was a kid my gran worked at Rowntree Mackintosh at Castleford - fond memories of mis-shapen Texans and Striper bars that she used to get as a bonus.

Hello Stu🙋‍♀️ Yes... I remember Apeel orange 🍊 drink... and it certainly did taste like fresh orange juice. Cabana was my favourite chocolate 🍫 bar. Gosh...I had forgotten “Good News” chocolates. Another box of chocolates I remember was “Weekend” and another “Dairy Box.” I recognised Jim Dale in the “Nux” bar advert, but I don’t remember the chocolate. Thanks for a sweet treat down Memory Lane.

Fondly remember Ricicles, and Frosties, (if I remember correctly… the same but sugar coated corn flakes), the smell of a newly opened box always brought back memories of caravan holidays as a small child, though they must have changed the recipe at some point, as of a good many years ago it hasn’t smelt quite as I remember 😕
