They were round, quite large, and came in either plain hard jellyish texture (different colours)or the best ones were sour, and they had sugar on them.
Smilies
A large round sweet with a smiley face on it. Came In different flavours……

Smilies were awful and only sold by ice cream vans containing men who didn’t wash their hands. Now I’m all growed up I will only buy sweets nicely sealed in their packets and not subjected to the mischiefs of frustrated ice cream men. No offence, if anyone’s Dad is an ice cream man!! Plenty of dentists have done alright out of rock hard smilies though. All’s fair in business right?

Allan remembers: -
Smilies were and still are delicious. Sainsburys sell half size versions. I used to get them from my school tuckshop in Germany. I’ve bought them in a tub of 500 before.
I have rubbish teeth.
