Living in Somerset a few mile's from the Clarks Shoe factory, a big truck used to turn up at our junior school and fit every kid up with new shoes to 'road test' for a few months and then come back, collect them up and the cycle would start again.

I think you can still get most, if not all, though probably in a less toxic form. Sherbet Fountain Fizzy Cola Bottles Flying Saucers Fried Eggs Milk Teeth Red Lips.

The social justice warrior special snowflakes would go mental if they tried creating this today Spanish gold sweet tobacco and candy cigarettes
Or these. I remember collecting the badges and the little figures. Hard to believe but Robertsons didn't drop the golliwog until 2001. I remember when these arrived in a little white box and you unpacked the wood shavings to see which one you'd got.
