Why does she fib about the most inane things? If she can remember sweets being a penny, then I’m a sugar mouse and a paper twist of barley sugar.

We don't have caterpillar cakes here, as far as I know. Lolly Jack is killing my sweet tooth anyway.

Maybe she’s hoping for one of those sweet talking heads gigs on Channel 5’s 100 Best Moments of the 90s or other shite late night filler shows.

Of course, that requires the ability to talk about something other than yourself.

The nostalgia threads are so boring and old. It's fun to talk about those things with friends, but with strangers online? (Unless you need to up your Twitter stats/ want to burry something). (Though I would love for someome to answer "my favourite sweets are AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND FREE SCHOOL MEALS", in Jack Monroe style)

total bullshit. I have heard people raving about frys 5 centre thing, I'd never heard of them and I'm older than jack. turns out they stopped production in 1992. she was 4.

Quick summary: Jack used to eat sweets as a child. She liked it. The sweets were cheaper then than they are now. Not all sweets still exist.

Can we have a proper chaos now please?

The sweet talk is making me feel depressingly old as I can remember being able to get four fruit salads etc for 1p and a mars bar for 3.5p. I did only get 10p a week pocket money at the time!

Ah, fellas. Let’s not give her a hard time. She’s always loved her sweeties, ever since she was a little girl of 32, bless ‘er.
