Oh Duke - Pan Yan Pickle............. ;D ;D  Also, OK Sauce - can't get this very easily "down South".  What about:
Sherbert pips
Yellow lemonade powder which made your finger yellow
Tizer (with a rubber screw top)
Floral Gums (tasted of soap)
Sour Apple balls

Sharpe's toffees, especially the coffee and mint ones.  They were taken over by another company but they were never the same.

Another lover of Spangles here.  I also remember some sweets shaped like vegetables.  They included potatoes and peas but I can't remember the other shapes.  

I remember going into a Lyons tea shop in Eltham in the late 1940's and early 50's and having some lemon cake.  The icing was delicious.  Lyons cakes could also be purchased in local shops.

Anyone remember Lord Toffingham ice creams - I think it was choc on the outside and a layer of toffee in the middle?

Lord Toffinghams - I'd swap a whole courgette for one of those  ;D but you'd end up licking all the toffee off the lolly stick and the last taste in your mouth was the taste of the stick. I'm sure that's why I can't go near a lolly on a stick any more!

Now cream soda with a chunk of vanilla ice cream and a straw.......bliss for at least 10 minutes  :)

PS - Have Burtons Potato Puffs really gone  :'(

Can't seem to find them around here  :(    Although that's probably a good thing as I could eat them packet after packet  :o

What about United biscuits? I used to love those, especially the little 'honeycombe' pieces.  Also Lucky Charms cereal, with the little marshmallow pieces. (I think these can still be purchased off the net, but with postage it comes to about £7.00 per pack - wouldn't last a day in our house.) Can you still get Funny Feet ice cream lollies? Not seen those for years.

We have a fantastic sweet shop in Melton just opened up selling all the sweets you mention plus the sweets my grandad used to give me when up his allotment and Mum used to go mad at him.

Victory V's!!! Sad though cos 'they' changed the recipe to take out the meds (chloroform and ether)  that made it sooooo nice
