Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

What was the name of the sweets that came in long packets like spangles did. They were square shaped and chewy like fruit salads and came in different flavours, blackcurrant, strawberry, orange and lime.

Edit

Was it Juicy fruits?

This joyous discovery in St Nicks market in Bristol was a magnet for me and the lads when they/I were younger.

Toffee treets were the best.

Funny I can remember that but ask me what I had for dinner last night? No chance!

That's the one. Ha ha

Juicy fruit was one of the wrigley flavours wasn't it.

Think you can still get chewits. And juicy fruit chewing gum.

My Dad ran the company that cleaned the wrigley factories, and he would sometimes come home with a carton of the stuff. One day, the dog ate the lot. But being a Lab, against all expectations, no issues at all ffs!

The lot. It kinda dispelled the urban myth of not swallowing chewing gum!

Forgot to take my medication last night, feel exhausted to day - tried our best to have a stress free day after a conversation with my GP back to the MP tomorrow to let him know what went on at the kangaroo court meeting & the traitor of a social worker ....
thanks for your concern

It is a piece of magic isnt it?

Had a birthday a few years ago, and my present from the lads was a trip to St Nicks, the sweet shop, followed by them buying me any record (vinyl) from the plethora of second hand stores there.

Bristols best kept secret, and thats before we get to the UN level of food outlets. Mazing place.
