    I remember when I was about 8 I bought a bottle of a one of the drivers and as he was rumagging through his change the other driver muttered "just give him that"...I naturally assumed him being about 40 and me being about 8 I was gonna be a quid upor something.

    Wasnt till they drove off I realised he short changed me, the utter *. Every time they stopped by at the same spot I used to shout to anyone to check there change after that :smiley-laughing002:

    Pretty sure that's the way it worked yeah. We always set the empty bottles on the doorstep with the cash underneath them. Never be able to do that nowadays!

    Not sure, but this may be what you're after :icon_mrgreen:

    [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Starburst-JellyBeans-Original-397-g/dp/B008UVGHJY"]Starburst JellyBeans Original, 397 g: Amazon.co.uk: Grocery@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AaqYwoVUL.@@AMEPARAM@@51AaqYwoVUL[/ame]

    I think they changed their name from Joosters to just Starburst JellyBeans Original, and judging from the comments these are either just like the original Joosters or ARE the original Joosters.

    Just had a flashback, anyone else used to get these bad boys!? I had dozens of them and they kept me amused on rainy days on caravan holidays. Loved that *.
