Nah man they were like wine gums in consistency, but shaped like 1/2 balls of various description - football, basketball and rugby balls come to mind, there was also a set of cricket stumps with a little ball on the bottom right corner (?) and a tennis racquet. There may have been more but them's what I remembers. Maynards used to make them iirc, but I could be wrong on that.padlock man wrote:Sports mixtures. That rings a bell, but I can't picture them. What were/are they?

Is there anybody else out there that can remember Yogos and Hanky pankys from the early 80's or did I just dream it.
Yogos were yoghurt flavoured (obviously) chewy sweets and Hanky pankys were a kind of puffy sort of thing in a bag. Arthur Lowe was in the advert offering one to a woman and asking if she cared for a little hanky panky before being slapped.
