Belfast sweet shop time..... mum used to give us a penny each as she went off to work and we'd head for the corner shop and come back with bag fulls of sweets...

I remember, fruit salads, black jacks, sherbert dabs, jelly snakes, parma violets, bazooka joes, sweetie cigarettes, spangles, pink panther (pink) chocolate!!.....

but what was the name of the little flattened circles of sweetened paper, that had sherbert inside?? was it space ships??? UFOs??

I know this is a little later... but does anyone else remember fizz bombs?..... sort of like gob stoppers but with added "blow your head off" fizz.......
