What were them styrofoam UFOs full of sour powdered sugar you see to get free with the Beano/Dandy(/Buster if you were hard up for pocket money)?

Sozzles or something. They were fuckin 'orrible.

Edit: Flying Saucers

QuoteThe first flying saucers were produced in the early 1950s when an Antwerp based producer of communion wafers, Belgica, faced a decline in demand for their product

Flying Saucers?

You're right, though. They were grim as fuck.

I liked them.  Always got them along with a few sheets of that edible paper made by the same company.

You can still get Flying Saucers in pretty much every sweet shop.

Not in Canada you can't. Tragedy of the expat.

Oh, and that isn't just "edible paper"...

Mmm...delicious rice paper. You are really spoiling me, Pater.

Desolation, mate.

The edible paper was a completely different texture - you're bang on with the styrofoam description for the saucers, but their edible paper was an altogether different beast.  It looked and had a texture similar to those dark rigid paper towels you got in school lavs in the 80s. 

Hang on...that's what I was paying for and eating, wasn't it!??!!??!?!  CURSE YOU STRACHAN(pronounced Strawn)'S OFFIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But the "baker's" rice paper you can get now just isn't the same (level of shitness).

Suspicously an anagram of "an starch".

Good spot.

Doesn't work vocally, though, sadly.  Strawn.

That's how they got away with it for so long.

We had the green variety for tea once when I was about five and it was FUCKING DISGUSTING. Barf-a-rooni. Bogus.

Not impressed by the hate for Flying Saucers, which I'm pretty sure are still readily available anyway.

I might make a pesto sweetcorn pizza after seeing that green one. That sounds lush. Is that what it is?

I don't remember the green one at all, but according to the thing it's apple.

FFS

It would be less upsetting if they were turtle.

I had no idea until you pointed that out. I only remember the flavour as being horribly alien. Processed cheese mixed with synthetic apple flavour would probably do that, right enough.

I loved Tizer Chews as a kid - yet there doesn't even seem to be a record of them on the internet.  I'm not even sure if they were available nationwide, or whether they were kept exclusive to my pocket of NE England, along with the inability to make vowels sound different.

Unwanted communion wafers, mate. They're made from unwanted communion wafers. That's why they're so fucking weird.



There used to be a frozen burrito here in the U.S. (the cheap kind that are 50% tortilla, not the mid-range overfilled kind) with a hot dog in the middle that would always get shriveled up and nearly crisp in the microwave.

Fucking delicious.

My lying bullshit step-brother told me that the American version of that "turned into real, solid bubblegum in your mouth and throat". Greasy twat (big dick though)

Honestly the biggest dick I've ever seen in person, fair play to him.
