"I used to like the eggs that had a couple of pieces of marshmallow seperated by some soft caramel. Splendid straight out of the freezer!!!"

So brown eggs with chewy bits in them. Sure they were not those eggs the dog laid!

Used to able to buy a cracker, a Dairy Lea-ish cheese traingle, and a silverskin onion, all packaged-up. For 30p. Came with a Chip Shop-like fork, too. Quality.

Maybe it wasn't marzipan as such, it was sort of coconutty stuff... much better than creme eggs.

mmm...sounds wonderful Zeity! I'm gonna see if I can get one on eBay

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!

Aye, All part of Cadbury Trebor Bassett.

IIRC they also still make the sherbert & lollipop combos
