Anyone have a headmaster that if you were left handed you had to stay behind in his office and write with right hand? Was 8 of us who had to for 2 yrs. Still can't write with right hand. I was 7 to 9 yr old.

Bath pearls - at least that's what I think they were called. I'm sure you can probably still get them but I haven't seen them in years.
they would leave a weird film on your skin and smell slightly plasticy?

I remember everyone wanting absolutely everything and smells of dewberry from the bodyshop and there were some other brands that did dewberry but they had a real funky twang. one of the students where I work works in the bodyshop and I met here in there and got talking. The manager came out and I asked her when they stopped doing dewberry. she asked what is that. Shes 23 and I am ancient!

Also, those teeny red spider things that you always had on white walls in the summer- we used to call them blood suckers

Can still buy those. I had a Mason jar fill of them we kept on windowsill so was pretty lights. They were fab weren't they.
 
I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but mint custard. I used to love it with chocolate cake at school.

Panda pops! I was banned from having the blue ones as they sent me loopy as a kid. Used to get one every Friday along with a galaxy marble
I had a blueberry one and a packet of rainbow Rice Krispie things (rainbow drops maybe) and I had a full on melt down - I was flying so high the crash still haunts me to this day!
