WTF Have they done to Black Jacks

[Glaucus]

Fruit salad > black jacks

Hell no, give me the mixed bags. How can you expect a man to make that kind of choice.

Black Jacks were great, until your tounge went blue!

im surprised to see them still called black jacks in this PC crazed world

Mars bars for 35p :<

I swear I can recall Mars Bars at 25p? I'm only 24 as well.

 

[Morgoth]

Indeed, I remember getting a mars bar for 25p and a packet of walkers crisps for the same price.

 

[Glaucus]

Those were the days 50p for a flake and a can of happy shopper coke.

I remember them & salad creams being half a pence each. (oh the shame). Those were the days, scouring the streets for half pennies.

[hovis] were 2 for 1/2p when I were a lad [/hovis]

TBH anything they have done to them can only have made them better. Nasty things, they always used to taint the fruit salads as well.

Mars bars for 35p :<

I remember Mars bars for 20p and Twix for 18p.

Booty Bags, with the little sticker in.

Anyone remember these? Is there anything similar sold today? Mighty imps are crap in comparison .

I'm surprised with all the pc nonsense that goes on these days that they're still allowed to be called 'black jacks'.

Perhaps the few singular idiots that make up these changes like these themselves.

I picked up some fruit salads the other week and they've done the exact same thing...they're all soft and gooey

Fishermans friends are nothing like these. They're not menthol, just pure Liquorish.

Fortnum and Mason sell them for getting on for a tenner per small jar (still have the barratts papers on).

I cannot understand how people could justify spending that.

Because people who shop at Fortnum and Mason don't have to justify spending a tenner on anything tbh...

What were those 5p tiny bottles of Pop called? Thirsty Paks or something? I can remember buying a bottle of that Lemonade and a Mars bar for 10p, Black Jacks were either sold by the Qtr or for a ½p each.
