I have a sweet tooth for just about any lollies/sweet but these Wizz Fizz sherbet were among my favourites (and still are) :)

Bought one of these bad boys and still had half a tub left after the wedding! Caused a few fillings in the office...

@sshteeve Omigosh I haven't seen these in yeeears... love 'em!
Most decent sweet shops sell them still, Morrisons (other UK based supermarkets are available) sell them in packets, but they just aren't the same - no fish that cut your inner cheek they're so big!

Laffy T***y! My dad would bring home the banana flavor and share with us. A wonderful memory that I still look back on ^_^
My dad did the same thing when he picked me up from daycare. It was the strawberry/banana one... it was fun trying to eat it in the middle of summer before everything got all sticky. :P

@innerspace-hq - I used to love caramel logs but unfortunately can't get them Down Under.
However I can get Teacakes! :-)
The log is king, for sure, but there's aye room for a teacake! I saw somebody with the teacake beanie hat on the other day, had a wee chuckle.
Don't mean to rub salt in it or anything but I live about a 20 min drive from the factory. Been greedily devouring "off cuts" from friends who work there for about 20 years now - at one point Tunnocks employed loads of folk I know. Ain't nothing wrong with wonky chocolate, especially when it's free. :)
We still sometimes get gifted a big box of caramel wafers at work. Usually round about Christmas. Few hundred bars for 16 staff (we run the place 24/7/365 so nice coffee and chocolate are always welcome gifts) ... Unsurprisingly we never get through them!
When you say you can't get 'em... Have you tried online ex pat stores? They'll deliver the ginger nectar anywhere on the planet just about so I imagine you can get logs and wafers tae.
