I remember football crazies. They were made out of the stuff they make wotsits out of, were round and bacon flavoured. I loved them.

Wham bars. If you chewed one of those carelessly, you lost a tooth.

Pacers - stripy mint chewy things.
And i'm sure there used to be things like crisps, made out of potato but in the shape of little pigs.

Part of the whole midget gems thing. Sports and Midget Gems were owned by Lion. They were bought by the people who make Wine Gums - Maynards I think!

When I was a kid, the woman who owned the sweetshop outside our school would fish out the black midget gems for me as nobody else liked them.
