I feel a big order coming on, they have loads of sweets I thought had dissapeared for good, although some of their retro sweets are still around anyway.

Do you remember back in the early 70's there was a craze for bubblegum which was a bit like Golden Nuggets but came inside a plastic crocodiles head that you could snap? I had a yellow one and they were all the rage at my junior school For all I know it could've been Golden Nuggets in there.

So many nice ones Im struggling to choose, they should do a mega gift basket of one of every sweet they sell, Id buy that as a present for myself.

Im guessing all the retro stuff is available because they still sell them in other countries? wierd that they dont sell them here still in that case, I mean, when did the demand for giant marshmallow mushrooms ever drop?

Edit: crocodiles heads that you break open and they have bubblegum in them? sounds Australian if you ask me I think you may have been having a strange dream after watching crocodile dundee and eating too much bubblegum.

Email Nestlé Nestlé UK - Contact Us They were made by Rowntree

I once contacted Haagen-Dazs about their Baileys flavour ice cream because I couldn't find it anywhere and they wrote back to tell me when it would be available
