mixed lollies

[toomanyshoes]

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!

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!
