The sticky firework maybe the "catherine wheel" that was liquorice......

[EllyD]

Bertie Bassett - Bassetts make a jelly/foam sweet called Fried Eggs. That might be it. Also the Everest one, I did wonder about Glacier Mints. The Brazillian football has got me beat. I have been down the coffee / nut route and come up with absolutely nothing. Sorry Kirstie.

[crisgal]

bertie bassett could have "allsorts" on his toast!

or was there some kind of jelly bean?

The brazilian one is doing me 'ed in!

I thought the sticky firework was "sherbert fountain"

I can remember some PAYNE'S POPPETS. They came in a little box.

[rogerr]

Could the Brazilian one be coffee something.

[rogerr]

oops--- should have read the above properly.

[kirstie*c]

Looks like this is doing your heads in like mine !

I, like you, am stuck on the brazil one I did wonder if it might be the name of a footballer?

The firework one I thought of the catherine wheel but where does the sticky come in? Was there ever a sweet called rocket? Then the sticky, well stick, fits the clue ?

The basset and toast is really causing problems but thanks everyone, I am getting closer !!

[curiosity]

The Brazil one is getting to me too, I been coming back to check if anyone has got it yet. I have even thought of Golden Cups! but it doesn't feel right.

[curiosity]

What about Mintoes?

[kirstie*c]

Mintoes ? for which one curiosity?
