What foods bring back memories for you?

I was just wondering this as today I went into a newsagents and was merrily greeted by old school sweets and penny sweets that I havent had for years.
Reminded me of the days at school when my mum would give me and my bro and sister 15p each to spend on sweets, and how far we could stretch it..
I came out the shop with £2 worth of milk bottles, cola bottles, strawberries, flying saucers, liquorice whips and anything with sherbert on it..

Granted they lost their animal shape, I don't care. My parents used to buy them for me all the time, and me only. I wouldn't share.
I think I"ll go buy some later today
Sherbert Fountains or Dib Dabs!

Werthers Originals
Haribo Strawbs
Kop Kops (Anyone like those?!)
Pear drops and those rhubarb and custard sweets.
And of course those 1 and 2p sweets.
Hurrah! Reminds me of when me and my friend used to take a trip to the Post Office practically every night.
Alsoooo, those horrible lip shaped sweets that tasted like soap. YUCK!
Mountain Dew reminds me of being about 11 and walking round with my friend by her house.
Toast with lemon curd in a 'sandwich' style reminds me of being little at my Nan's. I had it this morning
and crisps with lots of dip on reminds me of sleepovers at a friends house where we always have piles of food
i also have vague memories of some sort of tinned curry thing my mum used to give me when i was younger.. god knows what it was but i remember it was tasty!
Oh and mini aeros, mini mars bars reminds me of the days I'd go to one particular friends house and her mum would make us pay 2p for one! :no:
Ha, Them adverts were ace. I remember when they had "Strike It Lucky" on the inside of the wrappers, You had to get 3 in a row, To win more Club's and stuff. I used to hold them under the lamp and scratch 'em. Ahh them were the days, When fraud was easy! :yippe:
That's because Cadbury's make it now, not Fry's.
Really? I know Cadburys have their own turkish delight bar, but I'm pretty sure the Fry's version is still out there.
ETA: Mini milks and hubba bubba also bring back lots of memories!
Yeah Fry's do still make Turkish Delight, just Cadbury's brought their own chocolate bar version out aswell.
Feckin' love Turkish Delight, Fry's, Cadbury's, it's all good.....
But the well old skool Turkish delight without chocolate in like the Turkish style boxes with loads of icing sugar on are insane in the membrane!
Refreshers (as in these, but the sweeties were good too XD)
Cherryade
And also these
Remind me of when I was at primary school and paying for them with 5p coins from my piggy bank XD. The shop was just round the corner, so at break times about 4 of us were allowed to go with the teacher and buy stuff XD.

Trios
LUCKY BAGS!! (and yes they are food coz they had sweets inside so ner :razz:
