I've been a busy boy so haven;t had much time to drop in and say hello to you guys for a while but I need to be a cheeky chappy and ask for your help for my next project which is right up your street. And is that the longest sentence in the world????
So Goldencup x, Lou Lou, Oldspice et all I will be making my very own Escape to the 70s Jamboree Bag and would like your help in deciding what sweets to fill said bag with. There are so many sweets available out there but which would really suit a Classic 70s Jamboree Bag.

Definitely Spangles. Don't think you can still get them though.
Can you still get those candy 'cigarettes' which came in a sort of matchbox?

Did they have sweets in the 70's I thought you just chewed on a bit of sugar cane back in those olden days.

I had a sherbet dib dab, a sherbet fountain and a drumstick lolly today. There's an old fashioned sweet shop next to where I work.

I used to love those bags of lemonade sherbert with a red lolly in. The sherbert was lemony and really sharp but lovely combined with the sweetness of the lolly.
Didn't Jamboree Bags nearly always have a very soft and runny toffee in and a cheap game with the instructions written in a foreign language nobody could identify?
