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!
