Bubblegum

I was told about your site when visiting a friend in Dundee. He got a voucher for the site from some of his other mates, and was in the process of overdosing on Sherbet Lemons and Raspberry Skulls when I arrived. Naturally we got talking and realised another favourite from long ago that needs to be investigated.

When our local ice-cream van toured the streets back in the eighties, kids used to be covered in Acid-man style faces that covered every bit of visible skin. The source was a random transfer that you slapped onto a newly licked piece of skin. These transfers were found in bubble gum, the same lurid colour as the Barratt’s Shrimps, which tasted a lot like the best smelling antiseptic cream ‘Germoline’.

Can’t remember their name, but maybe the similarities with stuff from a medicine cabinet can explain that!

Any info would be grand, but products would be better!
