got a bag of blackjack from a local farm shop
Oh yes, lovely fizzy spangles! Fruit pastilles, fizzy coca cola jellies, pear drops, I was a sweet freak, I’m sure I ate too many as a youngster, especially lollypops. I loved Bazooka Joe bubble gum too. I went to the dentist a lot, in fact it was a real trauma for me and I still have a dentist phobia!

Ah!
Bazooka Joe, grief that stuff could give your jaw a serious workout! Yes I was pretty much hooked on everything in your retro confectionary list. We mustn’t forget those lemon sherbet sweets, they were hard and crunchy on the outside, when you got through the shell there was an eye wateringly sour helping of sherbet 
But yes, I take your point, my dentist and I weren’t exactly the best buddies either

Yes, I remember those too. I also liked sherbet dips.

Yes I’ve seen them in one of those retro type sweet shops. My teeth aren’t as tough as they were so I tend to stick with the occasional packet of wine gums or dolly mixtures

I have not seen rock candy or lemon drops in a long time but I don’t really check the candle aisle, like I did as a kid

You probably still have The Mint with the hole in UK but when I see it in some shops over here, I do get nostalgic, so I buy a packet 
It’s a shame we don’t have the fruit flavour ones.
