Oh Marymary - that bit about choking on boiled sweets rings a big bell. Was visiting a sister once and her three year old was sucking on a lolly on a stick, you know the ones that are like a ball on the end of a little white stick? He went running, tripped and it went down. The wrong way. We realised something was wrong when he didn't cry after being picked up. It wouldn't come out, couldn't even see it, but he wasn't breathing. Fortunately, didn't really think much, just plunged my (thankfully then slim) hand down his throat and just about felt the stick and yanked it out. I cannot see a child with one of those lollies even now, 18 years later, without going and warning the mother about what happened to us.
What was the sweet that you unwrapped and there was a mini cartoon strip in the wrapper. Was it a bubble gum? Yes! I've remembered- it was Bazooka Joe
did anyone else ever make the mistake of inhaling whilst eating a flying saucer? not a pleasant experience :o
i remember horlicks tablets, pacers, sweet tobacco but two i remember and i have never found anyone else who remembered them are counters they were chocolate round on both sides but flat if that makes sense the same as the all chocolate ones in a revels packetthen there was some kind of long round roll like a log that had been rolled in peanuts, i cannot remember at all what it was called thoughdid anyone else ever make the mistake of inhaling whilst eating a flying saucer? not a pleasant experience :o
