Raleigh chopper....
Oh, too late, you can buy them again £950!!!!!!

Without the ball shredding gear stick though. Bloody Health and Safety gone mad.

Nope. Raleigh have finally seen (non)sense, and you can now impale yourself like it's 1976 all over again.

Still got one of those somewhere. The only problem is that things have changed & many of the answers are no longer accurate 

I doubt they ever were

Flavoured Heinz custard in a tin  there was banana I remember
  Golden cup chocolate bar & soft caramel 
  Texan  chocolate & nougat 
  Bar 6 , a beautiful cadburys Kit Kat 

  Those plastic yellow aeroplanes shaped like a Vulcan bomber that you launched with an elastic band  they would fly for many minutes in wide circles 

The ro top lane from the 70s a kind of toy kite/machine here’s a video the blokes not much cop with it though

Christmas crackers where the body is covered in colorful crepe paper ,silver foil and a jolly paper picture . New ones look so drab 

Thanks for the memory , I used to have one of those Roto Kites . Also had a Barnstormer Stunt Kite which were mindblowing at the time. My brother had a Peter Powell Stunt kite which apparently was technically superior but a pain in the arse to get going in anything less than a gale.

I remember both those kites , I had a barnstormer but was useless with twin line jobs but would stand hours with my single line kites 

I had a kite (basic single line) up the other day with my son. He was amazed at how high it went, so was I tbh. Good fun.

I notice Wimpy have renamed their Bender in a Bun to a Pork Bendy. I wonder why.

I never seen the point in them. 
There was the odd kid with one when I was young and I always felt sorry for them because they couldn't go anywhere with the rest of us on our bmx's and grifters. 

There was the budgie too which was a mini chopper, and a bloody death trap!

Conkers. My kids have no idea that game even existed.
I remember baking them in vinegar, trying to film then polyfiller, etc.

Some mates and I attended the 'World Conker Championships' several years ago.  The locals cheated, we got pissed and my mate tried to chat up the vicar.

Oh I remember having a go at conkers. I found a really nice one down the castle park and tried the baking thing to make it indestructible. 

Until it literally exploded in the oven. My mother was not impressed.
