Here in the UK we used to have lots of penny sweets, and my favourites were frisbies sugar paper with sherbet inside as well as pink shrimps! Me and my cousins used to go down to the sweet shop with 30p which went a long way back then! We'd come back with a big bag full! Oh and cola bottles too, memories!

Oh okay well I don't know what any of those candies are/were.
"frisbies sugar paper with sherbet inside" -- what is that?
Another thing that I used to like was paper dot candy. It was sold on long rolls of white paper and was basically just hard drops of sugar that you would bite off the paper with your teeth. Is that at all similar to what you said above?
And "pink shrimps" -- what is that candy???
Sounds interesting!

Anything chocolate has always been a favorite of mine but there were a few other things I remember eating a lot of. I remember those bracelets that were made out of candy. You could wear them and then eat them.lol. I also got a lot of those little candy dots that were on a piece of paper. I can't remember what they were called. And I can't forget Tootsie Rolls.

I always got Skittles and Sugar Daddies. Those were my favorite. I wouldn't really turn down any kind of candy though.

I love Nerds, Bubble Yum and Skittles. I'd sneak the candies during class and pretend to yawn when I'm popping one in my mouth. :)
