I completely agree with the premise, however, Rainbow Laces? Who thought that name was a good idea?

I never got the rainbow laces. I mean, 3 bags for a pound? got to be dolly mix, strawberry pencils, and teeth and lips.

{Ed001's Note - do Mojos still exist? I loved them!}

Sadly not Tris. I haven't seen them in shops since I was very young! They do have MAOAM bloxx now though which are very similar and will still rip your teeth out if that's what you are into 😂.

{Ed001's Note - not the same. Mojos were boss because they were cheap.}

Maoam are surprisingly cheap! Not exactly like mojo, a bit of fruitella about them.

Never felt so rich as when I had 50ps worth of mojos.

{Ed001's Note - 50p? Bloody hell you were rich.}

Nothing's cheap now Tris. Even Freddie Frog grew up to be a right exploitative little git.

I had to remortgage to buy a Whole Nut Dairy milk the other day.

{Ed001's Note - an ex of mine was nicknamed Freddie because she loved those things so much. When she had a little brother he was named Freddie as well....}

Very cheap, they were half a pence each. Showing my age.

There was a shop at the end of the road that used to sell individual smarties for 1p!

Remember the jaw ache after a bag of mojos! I used to like fruit salad too.

50p worth of mojos? Did you always take the wheelbarrow with you to the news agents?

Anyone ever been to sweet shop and asked what you could get for 2p😏 and still come out with sweets.

Gonna show age- used to get sweets for quarter pence. 20p and you were absolutely set. Whole counter from one end of the shop to the other. Think we even used to get Fruit Salads and Blackjacks for 1p

Now- try to relive the olds days and get pick n’ mix at the Cinema- then spend the film time working out how to remortgage the house!

Lmao agger. So true. Cinema prices kill the romance. 10p mix up were amazing, even though you went through the bag saying. "like these, and these, not these though or those" but still went for mix ups.

My fave though was the old "real" sweet shops, where you had jars of sweets by the 1/ 4. You used to get this chocolate dust that was beautiful.
