Your favourite abortive foodstuffs from yesteryear

Did anyone remember the mad craze for those packs of three hot red dare devils. Then jawbreakers they were so cool i remember the sweet shop ram jammed and selling out they were huge.

Jawbreakers were evil. I nearly dislocated my bloody jaw on em at school...

Three flavours iirc - choc, mint, and orange. I used to put the mint one all over that dead posh ice-cream Vienetta

my stepdad halped design the flavouring for them (and chicken and mushroom pot noodle)

they were actually a pork flavouring IIRC - the crisps that is...
