Just seeing that familiar yellow and blue design makes me smile and take a trip down memeory lane
I loved to buy refreshers when I was little from the corner shop with all my pennies that I saved up during the week, simpler times x

I like refreshers because….. my mothers maiden name was refresher, so I guess I have some sort of natural affintity with them. And if I was to win them, it would be kind of like they were coming back to a loving home!

Refreshers refresh my mouth and memory at the same time. I have great childhood memories of collecting glass coke bottles around the park and trading them in for refreshers at the park sweet shop. On a good Saturday I could get over 10.

Its often said the summers where longer and the sweets were bigger and maybe maybe that is true. But the sweets of my childhood tasted great and to be honest still do

I remember I used to have a ‘Ten Pence Mix’ from the shop and most things were half pence, but these huge refreshers were 1p. I always chose one though, they lasted in my mouth for ages and ages!! I love childhood sweeties

Just seeing the blue and yellow wrapper makes me smile and takes me back to my childhood, you always felt you were getting lots for your money because they lasted ages,I am 60 and dont remember a time when there were no refreshers. My grandchildren now like them as well

They remind me of being at boarding school and I was always very homesick. Our treat was to take our ‘pocket money’ and go to the tuck shop where I would always zoom in on the refreshers!! It was one of my sunny moments in some unhappy times.

I remember when I was a kid, my friends and I used to have competitions to see who could finish a refresher without chewing. The tingling on the tongue was unforgettable and I never did win.

I love the memories of the sweet chewiness before the hit of the sharp sherbert. Then trying to prize your jaw apart again :-[]

Who needs Botox when you can have refreshers! At Christmas I was given an alternative selection box, full of retro sweets, my face hurt for days after hours of chewing and fizzing,and contortionist face pulling. What a refreshing change from chocolate

I love the way you chew them until the insides come out and you pull a funny face as the sherbet hits ur tongue….then you spend the next 10 mins chewing the rest of the sweet and picking it off ur teeth

loved them as a kid – now i buy them as an excuse that they are for my grandaughters – but they don’t get much of a look in – lost count the amount of times i have lost a filling chewing them – but cant resist them – still love them the taste is irresistable – yummy x

A fruity, fresh and tasty sweet on the tongue,
Refreshers makes me feel forever young.
Bringing back memories of my walks home from school,
The thought of buying 10 pence worth,
Would make me happy and drool.
It’s a sticky, chewy, yummy sweet,
Trying to eat it without chewing,
If you can that’s some feat.
So Refreshers thanks for reminding me of my childhood
Now I buy them for my son as they taste so good!
