Vice Versas
Vice Versas : Vice Versas were the Minstrel-shaped sweets with either white chocolate on the outside and milk chocolate in the middle or vice versa! A good idea, and, I thought, a good taste. Another food product that mysteriously disappeared. Ooooh weird!

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,
now with solution guide
The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

Also remembered...
I love Peperami, as do my sons, my dad and my nephew. I have been trying to tell them that, back in the 80s, the green foil packs had a picture of a glass of beer on them with a Peperami stick either in the glass or in front of it. Can anyone else remember this?
...and do you remember these?

Mmm vice versas!! Gorgeous!! For the girl looking for feast ice-cream, they are still readily available, at least in Ireland anyway - presuming there is only one feast ice-cream - chocolate centre covered in chocolate ice-cream and surrounded in chocolate with crunchy nut pieces! They also have a mint version out here now! Yum!

I remember biting off half of the brown sweet and half of the white and sticking the opposite halves together and eating it. I wish you could still get them. :0(
