Yeah the comic.
I saved up the wrappers for a "werewolf ring", basically a siren.
I still remember I had to send the wrappers off to Harold Hill Essex.

What were they doing? Sounds disgusting.
Talking of old sweets you don't see now, Punch bars, and Fry's five centre chocolate creams.
Loved those.

Corona.....every bubble had passed it fizzical.
^And R Whites.
I wasn't a secret lemonade drinker though.
............... and where are the Corona lorries?
Decent 80s shows shown on Sunday afternoon such as knight rider and A-team
Fry chocolate is still around - my lovely nan loved the orange centre or peppermint- I'm sure fry s still do it and also a Turkish delight
He should try posting in any one of the other forums then.

I'd forgotten all about them!
Did you used to put a 'cap' in the end piece so that it would make a bang if you threw it on the ground?
That was the point of them. ;-)

Speaking of 'caps' I suppose traditional cap guns are no more.
A few of us had these in the 60's
A combined cap and spud gun. The slight increase in pressure caused by the cap going off would be enough to expel the spud for quite a distance.
I suspect that you would be arrested for taking one to school these days. We used to carry then in our blazer pockets and shoot each other on a regular basis.
The Tennent's Lager Lovelies. Long gone but not forgotten.
Cap and spud gun?!
Pah, back in my day they were seperate items!

I was about to write something along the lines of it not being anyone's place to be deciding on what someone else "should" be doing with their time when I saw this rather more pithy contribution
Single best toy I ever had.That was the point of them. ;-)

Well it was an ad agency, anything went in those days.
Quality.
Back on topic, cap guns are still about. They tend to be in those independent corner stores. They also tend to have the cap rockets and paras with a folded chute.
Available in most supermarkets, and they recently introduced Caramac buttons (yum!)
I recall being given a 'Red Devil' parachute outfit for my Action Man. The idea was that you carefully folded the parachute into a plastic back back affair strapped to said Action Man which you then threw up in the air as high as you could. Im not sure whether others had more luck than me but the best I could achieve was little more than a partial deployment that was completely ineffective in slowing the poor little chaps descent.
As a matter of interest, I went on many years later to marry the daughter of one of the original Red Devils. Now well into his 80's he still talks about his Para Regiment and Red Devil days - its fascinating.
Munchmallows, you can get them online, but disappeared from shops years ago, much better that Tea Cakes.
Ah, back in the jumpers for goalposts days i used to love having a bullion bar of golden cup.
Think the latest SDSR has allocated some budget to improve toy chute deployment.
Got one of these in my shed.That was the point of them. ;-)

It's Friday, it's 5 to 5!
Now where did he disappear to?
As I recall he could also 'rip a tissue" and 'jump off a coffee table'
.
Bought one of those for my son from Milestones Museum in Basingstoke three or four years ago (new I hasten to add).That was the point of them. ;-)

I remember building four or five of them in the late '50s.Home-made go-karts.

He doesn't look that much older, good on him.

My action man would have kicked his arse

I doubt we'll see the like of these again.

Two of my boyhood favourites, my paper round money was always spent on these two.
Still going my strong, a great seller in my office tuck shop.
I've not had a white egg for quite some time, I'm sure you can still get them but for some reason the supermarkets don't seem to stock them.
