dunno if you know the place but there's a shop on NS fish quay that still sells those hard liquorice sticks 10p each now tho'

Do know it , its at the fish quay its sells all kinds of stuff.

Went to the cheap (£1) shop on the Silverlink and they had bags of Black Jacks and Fruit Salads (mixed )

And Ruffles, remember them ?

I remember black jacks and fruit salad - 4 a penny, and the agony of deciding which you would buy with your solitary penny! - but what were ruffles?

Can't recall them off hand.

oooooo rasberry ruffles lovely,but in a bar am i right axeman ?

Yep in a bar...and you can still get them.

Had one the other day, for the first time in years........memories

I would love to try a Aztec bar or Amazing Raisen bar

A quater of cream soda sherbet,and a stick of rock hard liqorise.mmmm

Yes Axeman we used to try and get as many fruit salads into our mouths at once
I used to get these all the time and now they've started making them again, but they don't taste the same

Someone might have already mentioned this but I can't be arsed to read through all 5 pages of posts..........but, there is an old fashioned sweet shop on Heaton Rd, just off Shields Rd in Byker that sells all the old fashioned sweets that you thought you couldn't get anymore. They have shelf upon shelf of all those clear plastic tubs filled with all your favourites. Can't remember the name of the place but it's on the right hand side from Shields Road.
