those things called like rice crispies, sweet and all different colours? They came in a little bag about 20+ years ago.

No idea. I like those things called gems which are little biscuits with different coloured icing on.

Don't know them I'm afraid. what a shame.

Yes, Rainbow drops! Can you still get them?

EasterBunny · « **Reply #5 on:** July 15, 2006, 08:48:27 am »

Yep you can, well in Norfolk anyway! I took my school to a festival in Norwich yesterday and rainbow drops were amongst the selection of high additive, high sugar stuff the kids (who probably never eat such things at home) were buying. I think you can get them in bulk at Bookers.

I'm not surprised it's still 1979 in parts of Norfolk!

I hate these. They taste like cardboard.

Not really, cardboard tastes all papery unless you use the corrugated stuff. Some of that's OK particularly wrapped around salmon on a barbecue.

Yes bounty I see them in many sweet shops. Hello Sweetie has them too.

I remember Little Gems. They were odd.

Little Gems were horrible and known as 'dog biscuits' around here. The icing was like biting on hunks of chalk. They always appeared at children's parties in the 60's before Party Rings took over.
