Strawberry and ice cream flavour jaw breakers. And skull crushers at halloween. And a bar of highland toffee every friday with ma pocket monyz. The sweet chewy toffee that guarenteed my mum at least twenty minutes silence ( provided the sounds of excessive mastication and drooling do not count).

Does anyone remember 'can you risk it for a swisskit'?

This is something that i remember with such vividness that i still use the phrase today.

Sorry for the lateness of my reply but for a number of years i used to tune in to stafford forum but only at work, where i didn't think it would be a good idea to register and join in.

Then i got a computer in my own home - i may have previously mentioned i'm pretty much what you could call a late adopter - and realised i almost certainly would've got away with it at work after all, but what the hey, i'm here now.

Having used the said phrase, again, earlier today, it reminded me of this because you are literally the only other person i've actually or virtually met who remembers this. I got so used to drawing a blank with this in those crazy days of 'you think therefore you am' that i stopped asking.

In short, yes.

Anybody remember Acid Drops? That could only be eaten with one eye open...

 

[Withnail]

In short, no.

But at least my response time is improving.

Spanish Main? 'Tobacco' that came in a foldable pouch..

 

[Withnail]

Yea verily, coconut based n'est ce pas?

And who could forget buying those mini candi-stick packs of fags (unashamedly packaged as such) - they could get away with selling tobacco products to a much younger audience.

Lucky bags? Basically a cocaine substitute...

Sherbet fountains, suck through the licorice tube and cough and turn purple as the sherbet got into your lungs.
