Things we ate as a kid

Spagetti Hoops - I'm actually eyeing up a tin in the cupboard for tonight.

It was mandatory as a kid to have orange Hoops stains on your white school shirt, 'cos you didn't bother take it off before having your tea...

 

Not that I ever drank it as a kid but bought these yesterday

 

My grandparents introduced me to "dripping" for those who know!!

 

I'm amazed they still make it!

 

Yep, and I'll be getting some Cherry B next time I'm in the shop.

Apparently Babysham goes toxic after a few years so if you manage to find some vintage stock DON'T drink it!

 

Oh, yes! But no Acid Drops!

This was also very popular

They also made lovely candle holders when they were empty

 

Used to drink a bottle of black tower with our curry in the tooting Bangual
