Was thinking about this, after reading the other thread about snifters and sparkles being taken away (why?!).
What did you love as a child? When I was little, my best friend would come over to my house every Friday afternoon after school and we both got $1 to spend at the local dairy/store...just thinking about what we used to get. 
Mine: -Raspberry Sparkles -Snifters -Those long sherbet tubes -Short circuits- I loved the HOT ones, friend liked the sour ones. -Hubba Bubba bubble gum -Fizzy wheels I'm sure there were probably more, but that's all I can think of. Anyone else remember? ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

Tangy fruits were only for movies. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

I used to love snifters and minties. They make me feel sick now cos i used to eat so much while traveling in the car and I associate the smell of them with feeling sick :P
I also loved eskimoes...mmmmm - still do 
And anything with chocolate, jaffas, pebbles.. I really am not a sweets person anymore but I remember how fun it used to be to go to partys and eat all the fun stuff. -------------

We used to sit on the kbars during class so that by lunchtime they'd be nice and soft.
One of my favourites were pink elephants - a jelly lollie that tasted spearminty. -------------

OMG! Someone else remembers the pink elephants!!! No one I have ever spoken to about childhood lollies could recall the pink elephants. They were definitely one of my favourites and people would look at me weird when I mentioned the pink elephants. Way to go Freesia! -------------
