Title: What were those sweets .............
Post by: I_want_an_Omega on 28 May 2012, 20:44:02
I recall as a kid.

Long, thin and hard sugar on the outside - but with a soft fruity inside.

Each one was wrapped individually in white paper with a nice colourful drawing of the fruit inside - i.e. Lemon, Raspberry etc.

Surely someone must remember then also  :-\
