Do they not say that you tell someones age by the Cadburys Flake advert they remember?

Mine was the red head in the poppy field 1974

87145

But I quite like this one from 1991

There wasn't a flake ad transmitted, that I didn't admire ;)

However, I'm sure that I used to blush, when I saw these
ads as a primary school kid, any time I was watching TV
with my parents. Yes, I was a bit advanced for my age.

There was a kid in our year at school we called Ripple. The reason why, was his kid brother had chronic eczema....

He was called flake...

Non chocolate sweets (toffees in Bolton, sweet was a pouf-ish sounding word to us hard kids), never called it a sweet shop.

Spangles
Lemfizz
Flying Saucers
Refreshers
Love Hearts
Bazooka Joes
Chewits
and many more

Not forgetting the 'Penny Tray'. I fact I might go in the local 'Toffee' shop and ask for the Penny tray, see if I get anything.
Dip Dabs......

Fruit salad, black jacks and penny chews.

I hated pear drops even today the smell turns my stomach

I loved pear drops, the place nearby to us sold giant ones. I bought some stuff from eBay this week and they sent a packet of fruit salad in the box, nom nom nom!

Took my daughters guising when we lived in Scotland and the older one's eyes lit up with all the sweets people gave her. Of course she ate the lot in record time and was violently sick everywhere and got a massive headache due to sugar intake!

They were mostly those crappy Haribo ones and now even the little Haribo tune on the telly ad sets her off gipping....

I'm the same with cider, after an over-indulgence after a heavy defeat at Bramhall Lane followed by a ruck in the car park. Retired to the Crofters Arms in Bolton, tried to feel my mate's wife up, managed 13 pints of Strongbow before I realised I couldn't actually walk anymore. sick everywhere, had to sleep sat up in case I did a Hendrix.

Smell of it now and the look of it all flat in it's glass sets me gipping....
