My favourite back in the days of yore was definitely Trebor Pineapple Chunks, but these days (when allowed them) it's Bassett's Basseti Sticks (hard-ish and very chewy liquorice).

Spangles, Fruit Salad, Liquorice Allsorts, SunPat peanut brittle, treacle toffee & Anglo bubbly were my favourites.......

Sweet cigarettes, licorice pipes and sweet tobacco. Oh yes, and gobstoppers!

Cigarettes-pipes Tobacco.........That has just reminded me, My brother and I got caught by our Dad having a cigar hiding behind a sette, we were only nine, and he made us finnish it, guess who was sick !!..............Happy Days

Liquorice Tablets! My Mother would buy 4x1/2lb bags, one each for my two sisters, herself and me, and we would chew them until our jaws ached. Wonderful!
There does seem to be a liquorice theme here, should we tell Mr Locking?
