Used to have one of those fizzy lollipops and a crappy toy. Makes me think of Woolworths
Didn’t they always come with a box of those Tutti Fruiti sweets, that were basically just tasty e-number-flavoured wax?
Dick turtle. I think that’s a criminal offence now.
Army man with a shit parachute that never really worked
I think they had holographic stickers in maybe
“Giant Size”
…we’re sure the manufacturer didn’t know what they were doing here?
Yeah I remember the army man with a parachute, a crap colouring book or joke book and really rubbish sweets and usually a dib dab and a lolly or summat!
There was a chewy sweet thing you could only get in these lucky bags. I used to love them.
I went to school with the daughter of one of the Managers at Lucky Bags HQ. I am still impressed by that now
I vaguely recall them coming with a pack of thise mini colouring pencils, usually in red, blue and green or yellow?
Thin colouring sheets, a toy a little better than a cracker quality but sub poudland, and chalky sweets or sometimes a cheep disc shaped fruit lolly.
it was like someone had swept everything that fell on the floor in a Woolworths directly into the bag
Turtle dick at the front. Turtle head at the back.
I was a Booty Bag kid myself
I remember this bag with the turtle on. I think they had sherbet, a colouring book and stickers in.
Are these the ones with a numbered puzzle in, like cross words and word searches that got you a special prize if you sent all of them off when completed? I remember sending them all off and got a bigger goody bag back, can’t remember exactly what I got but I’m pretty sure it was just a bigger selection of the normal rubbish you get
Little water pistol if you were lucky and a box of those sweets that were white stick thingies
Shit chalky sweets that tasted vaguely of fruit, a magazine nobody ever read with colouring pages made of tissue paper, some crayons that were harder than granite with which to shred aforementioned colouring pages and a couple of objects loosely referred to as toys made from the thinnest injection moulded plastic engineers could devise that was never de-flashed and therefore caused near fatal bleeds in at least 3/10 cases.
I used to love the licensed versions. My dad would always get me one at the pharmacy
I’m sure there was always a wee roll of sweets that were a bit like Love Hearts but without the messages on them.
This just depresses the fuck outta me because I’m so old now!
I don’t remember these ones, but there were some cool horror themed lucky bags I recall as a very young child in the 90’s that were black with various monsters done in art deco style on the front and it usually had a knockoff Monster in my Pocket figure in there as well as the usual sweets and crayons.
Those god awful cheap flying saucers that tastes like their outer shell is made of cardboard, and the powder inside that tasted like talcum powder.
My nan would always get me and my brothers a lucky bag whenever we went to see her in Clacton.
I’m sure I remember something like this growing up in the early 2000s but I had a Barbie one.
I always wondered if someone was having a laugh with the name Dick Turtle…. I mean a pure un-cut joke there right? Or am I still 12?
Never realised he was cashed Dick Turtle 🤣🤣
Does anyone remember what others they did? I think there was more of a girlie one but I can’t remember
IIRC they were made (read: put together, I expect) in my home town… Not something to be proud of haha
Usually had some shitty hard candy, lollipop, stickers, little colouring/activity book. Didn’t they do themed ones, too? Pirates, princesses, Halloween, Christmas?
I loved these! I thought I hit the jackpot one day when I got a plastic bird with a weight in you could balance the beak on your finger like it was floating. Good times
They usually came with a shitty little 5-page colouring book too
I just remember all the sweets tasting really plastic like and gross, yet always wanting to get these 😂
Parma fucking violets. The only time I ever got them was in these bags, ate one sweet and the rest in the bin.
Those ‘traffic light’ small ball sweets stacked on top of each other that were sour/ sweet fruit flavoured.
Probably some sherbet UFOs.
Black jacks and Fruit salad. Black jacks in the bin.
I associate them with waiting in a waiting room with my sister. Probably the hairdressers waiting for my mum. My sister wanted all of what I didn’t like so she would often give me a parachute guy if there was one in there (I had a slight obsession throwing toys out of the window with carrier bag parachutes attached as a kid).
Edit : MR Bones! They were the BEST sweet in it!
Tiny little lollipops
I remember them, had sherbet/sweets and plastic toys like the ones used to get in cereal,

They usually had a flying saucer or 2. And a little plastic toy? Plus other stuff I can’t remeber.
That’s a memory I forgot I had!
Oh my God I remember these!! Mainly because of Dick Turtle lol but no idea what used to be in em, bouncy balls maybe?

That’s reminded me of the [Trebor Booty Bags](https://imgur.com/gallery/trevor-booty-bag-SLyJ8Az)
