JustMe Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Shetlander wrote Does anybody mind the ice cream thing in the plastic cone with the ball of bubblegum at the bottom? They were good too. Called "highballs" when I was selling them from an ice cream van some time ago. Mosy parents hated the dammed things but kids loved them.

Njugle Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 8O You are kidding??? They always made me think of something inadvertantly dipped in hairspray or perfume Re: "hellsbells" what's an "mb bar"? Re: drew_peacock. Cabana's were fantastic! I'd forgotten about them. They were the first thing that ever made me eat coconut and like it.

BeeSmith Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Am a big fan of penny sweeties, 2pence fizzy cola bottles from the late eighties, fizzy fish, flying saucers, 2pence fangs, banana shapes, astro belts. At 60 North Youth Club you used to be able to help yourself to these sweeties. "how much is in the bag?" the youth leader would ask, 30 pences worth would be the reply.
