With the announcement recently that Allan's are ceasing production of Fantales, I was thinking about all the fantastic lollies that have disappeared over time. We all had our favourites. Lisa Bourke asked a question; “Remember the small packs of chewies too?”
Thanks Lisa. I'm pretty sure you can no longer get those little packs of chewies Juicy Fruit, P.K. and Spearmint, they're only available in larger packs. In fact come to think of it, can you still buy Wrigley's chewing gum anymore?
Certainly remember all of these in the photo. Pep-O-Mint Life Savers, Stream Rollers and those little packs of chewies. I thought they were tuppence for the 4 little pellets.
