I haven't been able to buy them for a while now, which is a shame as they were one of my favourites. 

I'm pretty sure they are still available.
There used to be Pineapple ones too.

I was going to post a link to the a quarter of site but I was just beaten to it by Stoney,

I've had that site in my bookmarks for years but I've never ordered anything, prices seem quite high these days lol.

So many memories form those older sweets, I will treat myself one day to a jar of retro sweets.

Yep! i can still get both the cola and pineapple down the road but my fav retro sweet is pear drops ;) .

We have a shop very local to us that sells all stuff like this,only been in once and its a mix between modern and years ago.

Loads of jars of sweets and the old chrome weighting scales no digital,i liked to have the mix stuff where you had a 10p or 20p mix and had

stuff like the tangy cola bottles/normal bottle sweets/white mice/mojos/ and loads more,ours was in a glass counter with sections and you just picked

the ones,school days and a Dentist nightmare.

Half a pence sweets and a big bag for 10p,these days have gone.

Half pence now that's going back lol l remember roughly the last 2-3 yrs of its existence.. As to kaylie its now known as rainbow dust my partner some times buys jars full from the wholesalers black jacks / fruit salad / wham bar / tattoo bubble gum / liquorice sticks ( blah l hate it ) dolly mix / dip dab now has a new name ? As to the 1 you lick your finger n stick in that was choc lick unsellable smarties crushed to a powder lol..

at last, someone who knows what kaylie is, is it regional as i never heard of it.

i remember we had a local village shop keeper who came round door to door in a mk1 transit selling groceries etc, and had a special section just for jars of sweets and scales to weigh them .

Ok showing my age  now  lol.

You could walk into a shop them days with 50p and have loads of sweets.

I liked the skeleton heads white chocolate with like a red liquid in them (small ones 1p large ones 2p).

Fizz bombs and also the MASSIVE gob stoppers where it was cold then went red hot and chewing gum in the middle.

Never heard it mentioned til I started working in the black country. As far as I understand it is just sherbet. Wikipedia seems to say it is a Northern thing "Kali"

Speaking of Cola Cubes, guess what I found at the shop near work this morning?  Yep...
