That's the stuff. It was around at the same time as golden nuggets and lucky tatties.. LUCKY TATTIES!

Foam Strawberries (nom nom nom!!):

They used to be half a penny and I used to get 40 of them with my pocket money; and the grumpy lady at the newsagents used to love counting them all out ... NOT!

When I wasn't in a foam strawberry mood it was usually American Cream Soda (powder):
