McCowan's Penny Daintees -

I bought a packet of crisps yesterday 65p. Thats 13 shillings in old money for a few slices of deep fried spud. Scary to think that for a shilling I could have had a packet of crisps a tin of coca cola and a Mars bar.

I love those liquorice pipes... pure sugar.. I also found a place online that sells Rainblows... those coloured pieces of polystyrene (well that is what they tasted like) :rotfl:

Me too. My mum used to have a glass of it ready for me when I came home from school (though that was back in the 60s!).

Space dust was the in-thing in the 70s. Great stuff.

McGowans Dainty chews now your talking Alan. We used to have an ice-cream van round our way and if you took back the empty glass juice bottles they gave you 2p for every bottle you returned. I would buy dainty chews. They used to be too big to get in my mouth I would have to break it in half of the kerb

Drumstick lollypop's and blackjack chews I loved them as well. We used to eat the blackjack chews because they would make our teeth black.
