I just had a look and saw some I liked and then some I remember making me thoroughly sick ..... like Rainbow Drops , feel queesy now :)

I can get these locally in Conwy anyway and pop in there from time to time to grab a Bag of "Army and Navy" sweets , those puppies will fight off any semblance of a cough or the sniffles :)

They do Spanish Gold! I can still see and feel the package it came in.

They dont have sherbet flying saucers though, or Skippy bars.
