Cold Tripe?
This is a great book, as are the others in the series (50s and 70s).

My elderly father-in-law, being very poorly, had a copy in hospital, used by the OT to jog his memory and encourage him to talk and develop his speech. I spent one visit reading his 60s one and the others scanning the ward to see if the OT had left any more about. The book is stuffed with pictures of everyday items from the decade - household goods, comics, radios, sweets etc.

When exactly did they disappear? Did they get put out of business because of their artificial colourings or was it simply bad management?

They are now called Starburst. They say they have real fruit flavours and actual juice and they are very moreish.

Aah, mystery solved. Brand sold. Moreish but they left you really thirsty and managed to make water taste like poison.

Agree abou the taste but in fact the brand was not sold, it was renamed (like Snickers), iirc it belongs to Mars and it's because that's what they call them in the US.

Snickers have always been Snickers, at least over here. It was the name of the Mars Family horse, or pony.

Hands that do dishes can fell soft as your face with mild green Fairy liquid.
there is another version but it's rather rude with schoolboy humour involved

A friend of mine used to tell a long and tortuous joke whose punchline was
"Hans that does dishes can be soft as Gervais, with mild green hairy lip squid".
It was set in a kitchen and involved two foreign chefs, a cleaver and a mustachio'd cephalopod, and you really don't want to hear it.
