Whistle lollipops. I loved blowing and sucking on them.
I can't find any anywhere. Awesome little buggers so they are!
I miss...
A few years ago I was taking a child to see Santa at Harrods (not my child or my idea, I'm a nanny) and the queue was 4 hours long. To keep the kids entertained and cheerful they handed out whistle lolly pops. I've never come so close to a killing spree...
Ha they are incredibly annoying. I want to buy all the kids of parents I dislike, a years supply. My child of course won't like them!
I was thinking of these the other day.They are called Melody Pops here. I assumed they'd stoped making them because I hadn't seen kids with them for years. I checked the supermarket and they still sell them.
I very nearly bought one.
I watched 'The Iron Lady' the other day and on Maggies and Dennis's first date, he brought her a sugar mouse.
Sort of pink with a real cotton tail. They were nice when you were a kid
Sounds like a euphemism.
I loved those off the 'penny tray' of sweets.

You can still buy sweet Tobacco that's still called 'sweet tobacco'
I miss the time when one could buy cigarettes from the display in the Supermarket.
Now we are forced to find the hidden kiosk, look at secret tobacco manuscript, tick the relevant choice and submit to 'kiosk Commandant'!
Christ what next,a bloody compulsory fluorescent tabard denoting your evil intentions? >_<
