Yes i remember these being going since 1940s we had a corona factory nr us in Chesterton and was bombed in the war due to lights being left on in the factory.

There was a blue van that came around once a week and peep his horn and use to sell crisps, pop etc. Plus Alpine drinks

this is off a late 80's early  90's can as older ones had a slit either side of the tab bit and you could detach the tab abd place it in the slot and hey presto a Frisbee like toy

What about eating Chips out of newspaper with a wooden fork and trying to read the paper as your eating your chips. I always though they tasted nicer in newspaper.173697000_Chipsinnewspaper.jpg.bf260c27f8e0250cc0ecc46aa4f3a110.jpg401194040_Chipfork.thumb.jpg.b9594ba183a4a365dd6a574dffdeb86e.jpg

Mouthful of skittles :) , only good thing about having kids , endless sugar. I find Haribo have kinda ruined sweets , trust me , ive tried them all . I remember when cola bottles tasted awsome , if you ate too many , ya mouth bled . the haribo cola bottle is tepid , they pack them in plastic wrap , with other flavour sweets !!! , they all taste the same . Need to have jars , dont mix the flavours , because bottom of the jar , cola bottles from the 1990 OMG , pile that sugar on , use it like a spoon :)
