I kid you not, these are in my local poundstretcher store for wait for it £5.00
Same, you always seemed to get quite a bit in them, especially for the price.
If I had one now I would probably think what a lot of tat, but at the time I liked them.
Mate the nostalgia is just pure brilliance 👌
Omg. That’s something I forgot existed. Bloody loved it when I got one of those!
Sweets and toys for girls and boys
I remember getting a deck of teenage mutant ninja turtles cards in one of mine. Think they just had pictures from the cartoon.
omg I’d totally forgotten about lucky bags! I loved getting one of those.
Oh wow I remember having the horror bag when I was a kid. I remember the turtle, but I remember him having an eye patch, or maybe sunglasses. And I’m sure he was riding a rocket rather than having rocket skates
Usually hyper gendered too. Girls lucky bags all pink and Barbie, or boys bags were blue with toy cars and football.
These were so fun.
I still remember the smell.
They had a really weird, sort of damp smell when you opened the bag.
Fuckin ell theres a blast back to pre April 1995, used to go to wacky warehouse and get one of these on a Sunday with my Dad.
My pocket money used to get blown on them lol great memories,shame they have vanished
The little plastic man and his parachute
I remember they used to have the cheapest tasting sweets, ones that resembled smarties or similar
I loved them turtle ones. No idea what those sweets in it were but they were amazing
I do now
Yes fucking hell! I was thinking about these just the other day
Did anyone else call these booty bags?
Yeah constant disappointment
In the 1950’s UK they were called Jamboree Bags.
Yes!!!!
When someone has a rubbish thing we say……” where did you find that? A lucky bag?”
Oh these. Is there any modern versions?
Yes, from the mid 1960s onwards but not as garish as these.
I can still remember the taste those little sweets that came in them
I distinctly remember the dick turtle lucky bags. My husband has no recollection of them.
Too many Parma violets in them would ruin the whole experience sometimes. I got 3 or 4 of them once in a bag! What a pisser!
You can still get them. I know Mr Simms has them.
Yes!! There was a pink/princess one I used to get from the Spar when I was extra good ha!
