mixed lollies

so my local store has mixed lollies :leap: you know the ones in the white paper bag, a reminder of my childhood days. We got a bag the other day still $1 (but I am sure there isn't as much as there use to be :D ) and they were lovely and fresh and soft. Got some today and realised they mustn't have that high of a turnover cause they were a bit chewy :(

Love the pineapples and the cars and the strawberries and cream
Missing the choc buds, you know the freckles and milk and white buds and caramel ones.
Not loving the mint leaves so much... they just mess with the other flovours of the lollies and mum use to steal those ones so maybe that has something to do with it.

Do you remember mixed lollies? what are your favourite?

:D

I got excited when I saw those little paper bags in our local deli but like everything else that shop sells they were stale :( even the girls didn't like them and they are not fussy when it comes to lollies :lol:

I loved the caramel choc buds and cobbers
Didn't like teeth, mint leaves or black cats

:D

White and caramel buds
Pineapple and 'strawberry and cream'
Bullets
Mint leaves...but not as an adult.

I love lollies!

I use to buy a mixed bag of lollies for 20c, those were the days.

Regards,
Dianne

I used to like rasberries, strawberries & cream, freckles, gummy bears/babies.

OMG chiko's!! BESTEST!

I still eat snakes when the kids have them, but thats about it. Too sweet for me :lol:

ETA: Cobba's!

Bananas! Much cheaper than $3!

I also liked the freckles and choc buds.

Not a fan of the milk bottles or chickos.

I love the old fashioned jelly babies, the ones covered in a powder not the shiny ones. There use to be a shop around the corner from nans that had them yum yum.

Can't get them anywhere now :(

I didn't like milk bottles or banana's. None of those types, lol.

Pineapples! I was convinced there were shaped like a fish for most of my childhood.
Raspberries, caramel buds, teeth, snakes - only the red & yellow ones - and freckles.
I don't like any of the chalky type lollies, musk sticks, bananas, anything liquorice or chicos.

Dianne I remember the mixed bag of lollies for 20cents too. We used to take forever to pick which lollies we wanted in our bag for 20cents as well. It must have driven the shopkeeper crazy but all the kids used to do it. My favourites were:

Jelly Babies (sugar coated)
Teeth
Milk Bottles
Pineapples
Bullets
Strawberry and Creams
Sherbies

I also used to love Choo Choo bars and Toffee Apple bars but they were 10cents and a bit too expensive for me most of the time!

yum :D

I liked chickos, I think they were called. Like a jelly baby but they were a chocolate-like colour and flavour. And strawbs and cream, of course!

My parents owned a general store when I was growing up. We had a dozen or more boxes of the different types of lollies and people could come in and buy a whole bag of whatever they wanted. The used to be 1c and 2c per lolly. Ah ... the memories. Of course I wasn't so fond of counting out 67c worth of one type, 36c of another etc ha ha.

I also remember when fags (little cigarette lollies) were called fags ... not some other silly name! Gosh, and you could buy lollies that looked llike cigars. Would be so un-PC now!

Ohh I loved picking what lollies I wanted!!

I loved:
Freckles
carmel buds
choc buds white and milk
raspberries
red skins
Mates
Jelly babies
Snakes
Jubes

Did not like bannans, chiccos, toffee apple, musk sticks, milk bottles

Yep, we used to get $2 pocket money as kids, which was enough for a drink and a bag of lollies.

Best ones were:

Redskins
milkos
cobbers
chicos
aniseed rings
mint leaves
pineapples
strawberries and cream
sour worms
coke bottles

Didn't like:

bananas
bullets
raspberries
musk sticks
teeth

Feeb - What are Mates? I don't remember those.

The hard caramel that was choc covered they were little squares.

So cobbers in other words :)

never heard them called that!! Must be a state thing!

Bananas and strawberries and cream here!

Now here's a tip I stole from Zarava Flutterby -

Buy a tub of ice cream and let it melt a bit and mix your lollies through, cold rock style! I throw in a peppermint crisp and a cherry ripe too. Then back into the freezer to set. Cheap cold rock and oh so nice.

Oh Cobbers....thanks. Never heard them called anything else before.

I also forget red and green frogs. I liked green ones the best. Everything is made smaller these days too. I'm sure the frogs and the teeth used to be so much bigger when I was a kid.

Could just've been because you were littler :lol:

But PRMG....you evil wench why on earth didn't I think of that...

:rofl: I think my backside will be cursing both of you! Me on the other hand...yummo

I like red frogs best. But we avoid them since ds thought it'd be clever to shove 3 in his mouth together!
First ambo trip for him, lol. Never again!

lol thanks for the memories ladies and yes I love cobbers too :D

My favourites were licorice, chicos, cobbers, choo choo bars. My brother and me used to walk to the milk bar, they were 1c and 2 c each, I remember.

My primary school canteen used to stock these little coloured licorice coated in powder. I wish I could have these again!

Jupiter bars - I now buy them in the supermarket. yummmy.

Oh I loved them! The shop I worked in had them for years then they went out of them - I used to love being able to pick what colour jelly beans you wanted! And cobbers, mmmm, cobbers and pineapples and straw and cream, chicos,.....ahh lollies, the reason I have a wobbly belly!

When I was a kid in highschool the traditional summer activity was to go to the pool (and tan yourself silly oops) and buy bags of choc and white and caramel drops, open the paper bag out flat and melt them on the hot cement - mmmm tasty!

PacRakMG: We call that chocolate bar ice-cream!

4L vanilla ice-cream softened, 2 chopped crunchies, 2 chopped mars bars, 2 chopped cherry ripes and 1 chopped peppermint crisp. Mix into softened ice-cream, return to tub and set. As I have a summer birthday, my mum used to set it in a round springform cake tin, then slice it and serve as ice-cream cake :) :)
Doesn't work with smarties or M&Ms though - they get too hard and the colours bleed...

As for lollies: bananas, teeth, choc buds, caramel buds, chicos, strawberries & cream, milk bottles...

Our primary school canteen used to sell choc buds for 1c each. Always felt sorry for the ladies when they were asked to count out 150 of them in a hurry though!!

Would also account for my squishiness now - that and the fact that DH works for a company that makes chocolate - I've been in the warehouse and it is pretty close to heaven!!

I am finding it pretty funny right now that this thread is following the diet and weight loss thread on the new posts page!
