I loved Treets. But I remember them as chewy soft toffee/caramel in a crunchy shell. In the USA they do M&M caramels which are very similar. I brought some large boxes back from Vegas. Treets came back briefly in the 90s. I remember getting some packs at Paddington Station. I think they were in a dark blue bag. Dont remember Womble bars though.

For mash get Smash was the slogan I think they also used to laugh at the way humans made mash(peeling them and boiling them)

My favourite was Kaplunk, loved that game. J

I remember an advert for a game called 'Stay Alive'. I remember when the person was out, in the advert, they disappeared. I was only very young and it freaked me out.

I had one of these Cadbury smash Martians, a quick wind of the key at the side and then it would scuttle off across the kitchen floor.

Eliminator by Ploggy and some guys named Dougsta and Vectra666

It's all done in the best possible taste (lol it's a quote from one of the characters in the show )great show but would not be the same today's as most comedy's from the 80's are not PC I love all the 80's comedy's as I'm not very PC myself being an 80's teenager

Mouse Trap from Ideal 1963 Never played the game used to just set the middle bit up to see the man jump in the tub and catch the mouse. Mouse Trap to the next level!

TCR Total Control Racing By Ideal. Late 1970s till Mid 1980's POLICE PURSUIT. TRUCK RACING COST £34.99 IN 1982 Argos. TRAILER CUTOFF. PC Gone Mad? The product was withdrawn from the market in the mid 1980s (after a brief attempt to reinvent TCR as a slot racing system, which was incompatible with all earlier cars and track).TCR may have failed next to its most obvious competitor Scalextric for these and other reasons. TCR cars were matchbox sized and much smaller than Scalextric cars. This did mean that (relatively) more track could be laid out in one room. TCR was also doomed by the new regulations for child safety. The system required at least 2 amps to correctly drive all the cars and jam cars used. The original set released in the early 1970s gave the customer a 1/2 amp transformer which was reported to give children electric shocks when they went to fix a stalled or 'de-railed' car. As a response Ideal changed the transformer in the mid 1970s to a 1/4 amp transformer; this was barely enough to run one car, when players used 2 cars plus the jam cars it was very hard to maintain the rhythm needed to keep the cars rolling properly with such low amperes. Sales for the product dropped off dramatically because of the change. Tyco had the same problem with the first Command control sets (1978). In the 1990s Tyco revamped the system. They bought the rights to 'TCR' from Ideal and were able to lower the voltage to increase the amperes and skirt the child safety laws. This gave the customer a 1/2 amp back, for 3 years Tyco tried to make a go of the command control revamp called 'TCR' but it never caught on, stalls and derails were always a problem. It is not until you run these systems on custom power supplies that give the racing set the full 2-2.5 amps of power it needs that it really shines. In the UK the amps problem seems to be slightly different, for example, the Zig-Zag Jam Raceway set had a 3/4 amp power pack. There are higher amp sets that contain mark 3 cars such as the later Crossfire, these sets have an 'uprated' power pack which is 20 Volt 20 VA which equals 1 amp. Info from Wiki Would of loved one of these back in the day but at £34.99 in 1982 that was a lot of money to some people. But to have one now if you look on Ebay Prices are doubled plus because of the retro/collectors.

No F*&KING way were those drawn on an Etch a sketch more like printed of and stuck on

The Original Mr Fosty 1980's Could Only fine early 90s advert.
