most of the sweets mentioned can still be found, sweet emporium at lowry centre on salford quays sell most of them 8 out of 10 of them, and more of the old fashioned and retro sweets.
Not same price range as years ago lol but times and money has changed a lot since then.
You can still get the liquorice one in the lion sweets like midget gems, fruit salads and wine gums.
I liked the popping candy that jumped up and down in your mouth and the sweet tobbacco, can you smoke it the young people ask? lol Nooooo of course not. flying saucers mmmm, rainbow drops,cherry lips, black jacks, sweet peanuts oooh so much to choose from and a great trip back down memory lane.
Call in and see for yourself, also do a american section of sweets and drinks and gift baskets to give to your friends and family to let them take a trip also
