What a great time to tease us with blackjacks, just before halloween to add a bit of sweetie make up for “trick or treat” time 🙂
In process of ordering a spooky Chewb for my sisters birthday, altho not sure how full it’ll be when she eventually gets it (if she gets it at all!) – black jacks are amazing, i remember spending a lot of pocket money on them when i was younger 🙂
I <3 Blackjacks! Even though it does look like you've been chewing coal! (:
JADE <3 BLACKJACKS 4eva! (:
Black jacks are THE original chewy sweets. I love them! I used to make a ‘sandwich’ with two or three of them and try and chew them at the same time. It was really difficult, especially when you’re only young and you’re missing a few teeth. Speaking of which, I sometimes substituted them for my missing milk teeth. Teehee.
Weird I know, but i love it; blackjacks and fruit salads in the mouth together!
Black jacks are such a beauty, actually love them! Plus it’s still surprisingly fun to give them to your parents and friends before you go out without telling them that they turn your mouth black! 😀
I love Black Jacks, but because of the way they colored your mouth, my mum insisted we switch to the Fruit Salads, which we did… when she was around, other wise it was Black jacks… of course she could always tell, and then it was off up to brush our teeth!
i love the taste of black jacks and the way they turn your tongue black
black jacks are really nice and tasty they stick in between my teeth so i can save some for later and taste them all day yummy!!!
Spent many years eating them in class, then getting caught with a black tongue and black teeth, never could lie about whether you were eating a BlackJack!
old time all favourite! great taste great colour and loved when i gave them to my kids and their tongues went black lol reminds me of the days i got tricked by them lol nice black teeth also 😉 xx mon the black jacks!! woop woop!
I’d put my money all on black 😉

Blackjacks are fantastic, they are the one sweet that reminds me o f being young, walking to the shop for my 10p mix up (Not 50p like nowadays!)
They are nostalgia personified, not only that they taste fantastic too. I love the fact that they are still going strong :0)
I used to always buy black jacks on my way to school – 4 for an old penny, brings back memories
I don’t know what it is about Black Jacks but i absolutely love ’em. They just have this amazing taste and whenever i have them it takes me back to those good old days! Yum!
Loved black jacks since I was a kid and still buy packs today. Nice and chewy and a tasty flavour. Thanks Chewbz for the freebie.

Ah i haven’t had black jacks since i was a little kid!!! Mhmmmmmm yummy :)Use love how it made me have a black tounge. Only use to be 1p at the local shop and i always bought them! 🙂

The best sweet for sharing with my dad as the rest of the family didn’t like them. We had lots of fun comparing the ‘blackness’ of our tongues. Mum had to judge who was blackest. In those days it was a lot of fun for a few pennies.

My favourite thing about black jacks is watching my childrens faces change in amazement when their tongues turn black!
Thinks Blackjack are a classic sweet, loved them as a kid and still do now, not only do you get a yummy sweet but a black mouth and blue teeth, not a good idea to eat b4 an important meeting 🙂

My fussy kids probably won’t like them so I might get to eat them myself!
Reminds me of school days in 1989 when I would ho into school with my bag of blackjacks and fruit salads. Good times!
my 20p a week pocket money used to go on a big bag of black jacks, i could get 40 of them and make them last all week!
yumm i love black jacks…..black teeth, like being a kid again!
I love black jacks and fruit salads. They remind me so much of being a kid going to the shop just for a 10p mix of them.
Haven’t had them for years. I used to love the taste of them.
black jacks loved the taste but always loved the fact that when you and your mates had them you’d be sticking yoour tounge out at each other to see who’s was the blackest.
Black Jacks bring back memories of eating them on the way to school to get a black tounge to scare the teacher
I love these sweets because they leave the taste in your mouth for ages!!

love to poke my tongue out after chewing blackjacks as it goes black and im cheeky 😉
These little gems are a symbol of childhood for me. Being rich enough to have a penny meant you could but four of them!! But they had to last because you never knew where the next penny would come from. And I’m talkin’ OLD pennies. Yeah!

I used to love blackjacks as a kid and still do now. Its nice to see that they have not been changed in flavour over the years. Now my kids enjoy them too

i just love these sweets thay take me back to when i was a littlr girl and you could get 4 of these for one old penny
My kids enjoy the comedy partner of fruit salads more than the straight part of the duo, the black jack and therefore, quite selfishly, I can just enjoy a bag full to myself without their requests for MY sweets and that is why I love them because they are MINE!
NEED A COIN TO DECIDE BETWEEN BLACK JACKS AND FRUIT SALADS,BOTH MAKE YOUR MOUTH WATER.
LOVE THIS AMAZING SWEET THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS. JUICY FLAVOUR LEAVING GREAT AFTER TASTE !
Hey this takes me back to my scholldays and Im 59

I would love some Black Jacks as I used to buy them as a kid – they would really evoke lots of childhood memories i.e calling at the local newsagents and buy single blackjacks as a treat on the way home from school! Caroline.
I love blackjacks as it leaves your tongue a great black colour and good for handing out at kids club
I love black jacks!! They make your tongue black 🙂

Helps that I really like Aniseed aswell.
Love Blackjacks. Used to get 2 for 1p when I was at school.
Oh I love blackjacks especially the aniseed bite – ever so chewy and reminds me of school days. Would like to know if the recipe has been changed ?
Because they turn your mouth black and are deliciously chewy
Take me back to my school days when they were the best sweet ever and you got lots for your sixpence.
these sweets bring back memories of the past and the carefree life we lead without all of todays preasures
As a child me and my sister always ended up at the shop b4 school and Black Jacks were our guilty plesure and its still the same for me cant stop picking up a packet on my trip to the shops 🙂
kids love than they try and see who can get the blackest mouth first it’s really funny
I loved blackjacks as a kid brings back so many memories yummy scrummy
I vividly remember sitting in class sticking my tongue out at everyone because it was black!! The best bit is you didnt get told off for being rude 🙂 As soon as you see one of these little gems its instant memory lane
I love blackjacks – they’re such a blast from the past for me !! As a child I lived near a Trebor factory and you always new when they were making these because of the wonderful smell – my mouth is watering just thinking about it !!!!!!!!

i remember this sweet from when i was a child of the sixties.
Whats not to love about a Black Jack. I remember finishing my paper round on a Saturday morning and going right back to the paper shop to get my wages then it went straight on to the pick and mix. First thing in was a handful of Black Jack / Fruit Salad mix.
Black Jacks, they take me back to my youth when i used to get my pocket money i used to buy Black jacks and Fruit Salad chews.

They remind me of my childhood. I love the black jacks and my sister loved the fruit salads. whenever we got a botty bag, we used to swap the ones we weren’t so keen on so we had the best of both worlds! can’t wait to receive them yummmm…
Blackjacks…. Love the black tongue & purple teeth.. Always reminds me of being a kid :O) I can remember them being two for a penny (new money!) Weird aswell, but I dont like aniseed in anything else.
Wow, I just love black jacks whats not to like?! They are still one of my fave penny chews, I used to buy them with my pocket money as a kid all the time, and I’m just as bad now and I’m 26! Although don’t get the pocket money any more !!!
Blackjacks. A blast from the past. They remind me of the long hot summer of 76. I can still see my friends and i having a picnic surrounded by green fields with pockets full of BlackJacks. Priceless!
So retro my dad loves these so these are a treat for him… a real ‘blast from the past’!!
Love them, remind of when i was a kid and my nan used to give me a sixpence to buy sweets. Yu used to get loads of sweets for 2 1/2 pence.
i love these remember having these as a kid
not had them in a while
Two for a penny from under glass counter. I love Black Jacks. Mmmmm.
Blackjacks are a unique flavour and take me back to the early 1960s when I was a boy.They are just great.
im 47 now but blackjacks were 4 for a penny in early seventies and great for taking to saturday morning pictures. i used to mix them with fruit salads, though these were my favs by far. black tongue/teeth so sexy, wonder why the girls wouldnt kiss me?
oh my god i LOVE blackjacks- black tongues- it takes me back!!!
these sweets helped my mum quit smoking!no joke!how great is that!
Smell great, “Aniseed Flavour” taste great! I always have them in the car for long journey.
Black Jacks were the ONLY sweet for me as a child and I do miss the unique taste
theses sweets are unique. nothing else is close or even similar to the taste and flavour.please dont ever discontinue making these. reminds me of my school days.

UMMMMMM! Black Jacks! BRILLIANT!
Black Jacks are one of the best sweets going, ive like them since i was a little kid and still do so thats saying something ha x
Oh, memories of my youth. My mum wouldn’t let me have them as part of my sweet allowance because they turned your tongue black, but my friends had them and I saved my pennies and bought them when I was out with friends rather than my mum. And my auntie was sympathetic and bought them for me when I went to stay, though I wasn’t allowed them on the last day so my tongue “deblacked” before I went home, else we would both have been in trouble 🙂
i love black jacks these are my fav reminds me of when i was little and they make yur mouth go blackxx
hello im 61 and used to have these as child of my what memeories i would like to introduce them to my 5 grand children, im sure they wil love them to,
i love blackjacks from the time i was a kid to now and now i am 33 but find it harder to find them the taste is like having a party in your mouth yumm
i love black jacks because they take me back to when i was a kid, chewing them up, make my mouth all black. happy days.
I LOVE Blackjacks!
They also take me back to my childhood as my nan used to always buy some for me and my sisters, along with the Fruit Salads.
I love aniseed in general and the taste makes you feel warm on a cold winter’s day 🙂
Blackjacks!!
I love them. Child-hood memories. Yummy!!!
Haven’t had since a kid when I used to get 2 for a penny. Remember then turning your tongue blue. What a kick to the memory. My kids would love them.
Is there a better sweet?
They take me back 20+ years to coming home from school with a black tongue and my mum panicking that i had some unknown illness. Had to own up but will always remember it!
OMG!I thought you couldnt get hold of these sweets anymore i havent seen them for ages,they are my favourite sweets of all time,i scared my lil sis many times when id eaten one as my mouth was black she hated it.please,please,please send me some BLACKJACKS i would love my kids to try them too!thanks.
These are classic!! I used to get these with my ‘penny sweets’ in the 80’s. The fact they turn your tongue black was unique in those days and brings back many happy memories of childhood innocence! The taste lingers after eating and that is great!
Can remember them from Sunday morning when I was allowed to go and get the papers from the corner shop when I was young and this was my treat for going best sweets ever.
blackjacks i’ve missed them, welcome back.
Blackjacks, I remember the first taste i ever had of a blackjack and the way they coloured the inside of my mouth, leaving that yummy taste behind.
The All time best sweetie EVER

Oh I love Black Jacks me & my dad always used to fight over them mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I always loved blackjacks more than fruit salad. much more flavour! we used to call them ha’penny chews back in the 60’s cos they cost half an old penny each! that’s about a quarter of a new penny now! And my daughter of 17 loves them too! and at 53, I still love ’em!!
every chew takes me back to the day i met you…..in the playground. wonderful memory reminder

Hi there! Ever since I was a kid I’d eat black jacks for sweets. The aniseedy/liqourice taste just made me feel so warm inside. I’d love to get a free set of blackjacks… Have to be careful of my teeth tho 😉

Love Blackjacks – takes me back over 40 years to buying them on the way home from school. Decadent black chewy delights – loved them then and love them still today….inherited the love of aniseed flavour from my Mum, who could always be guaranteed to buy us such retro treats….even when other sweets were restricted.
mmmmmm juicy Blackjacks , nice !!!!
I love these sweets they remind me of my younger days. When me and my brother and sister used to go to the shop for a 10p mix. We used to save Black Jacks until the last just so we’d have black teeth. ha ha
This takes me back to my youth aweekend treat as gathered around the tv on a sunday afternoon to watch the film.
they make me feel like a kid again – 50 years ago!
would love to have some, my bf loves them, wanna surprise him
take me back to my schooldays, used to buy these from school tuckshop nearly every day.
I remember when could could get 4 for a penny, ad I would spend all my sweet money on Black Jakes, and have loads of sweets for a few pence. The good old days.

I haven’t seen Black Jacks in ages. I used to love them as a kid, not just for the taste but also because they gave you a black tongue! 😛
I am now 78. When I was abouyt 5 myb Grandad used to give me ! penny and I always spent it on Blackjacks
Black Jacks take me write back to the days when my Mum used to say “oh my god what have you been eating”, thinking the reason for my lips being black was I’d got into trouble!
I loved these sweets many years ago! Remember getting loads for Black Jacks (and Fruit Salads) for 10p!!
The smell, the taste and the leaving the tongue completely black…..Everyone knew you had been eating them!

They make you want to eat them really fast and then stick your newly-coloured tongue out at people.
They were like the ‘Marmite’ of their day – you either loved them or hated them!
wow this takes me back a bit. sunday was pocket money day, so down to the local news agent for sweets and these were 2 for a penny
Makes me recall many happy days as a child picking them out at the local sweet shop and munching out of a paper bag!
i can remenber these sweets from so many years ago ,that i can still taste them. they were allways my favorite, but haven’t seen them around for so long.i’d love my grandchildren to try them too.
These take me back to school 🙂 And my parents would look at me in horror, ‘what have you done now?!!!!’
they have been my favorite since i was a child 42 years ago and still are i used to get 1 penny a week pocket money and would spend it on blackjacks because back then you got 8 for just 1 penny those were the days i know have 8 year old twins whom also love them so have to hide mine so they can’t find them

I love black jacks they remind me of when I was a kid 🙂
Wow. The last time I had black jacks I was only little but the best bit was when it turns your tongue a funny colour. I remember having to nag mum to get them as a treat 🙂 very old school.
Now aged 40+++ I still enjoy the blackjacks.The flavours saisd it all,and I’m sure that alot of the comments left are those that still enjoy a sneaky moment without the knowledge of the Mrs or the kids,bringing back the childhood memories.Never missed a day without them.Hey and don’t tell the family eh?
i simply adore black jacks as a kid…. and now im a bigger kid and glad to c them back … hehe.. always got black jacks and mojos in my mix up with my pocket money ..;))

Love them.. remind me of being young again
I loved these my gran always used to give them to me
What memories! My parents had a sweet shop back in the late fifties/early sixties. The shop was always full of school kids and black jacks (along with fruit salad) were favourites. Back then they were 4 for a penny. We used to see who could get the blackest tongue!
Along with Marmite and liqourice, BLackjacks were despised by my weak and uneducated friends with thier simple palettes and lack of taste.
Fortunately, I am of a better breed, so naturally I ate Blackjacks in abundance. I come from a long line of sweet eaters and have myself tasted many many chewy cubes and sugary pills but never have I been able to find one that delights me more than the mighty Blackjack, to whom other sweets pale in comparison.
I can’t wait to eat some!
i love these sweets yum yum i have them all the time mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Blackjacks my favourites over 40 years ago.As I was the only one to go home for dinner I was the class tuck shop girl.Taking orders daily for all my friends 1 & 2p a time!!!! Ah what great memories Thank you!!!!
The Blackjack sweet reminds me of when i was younger and they used to turn my tongue black I did not know they were doing them again along with the fruit salad sweets which I also love.
IF YOU WANT A CHEW THAT TAKES YOU BACK THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A BLACK JACK & FRUIT SALADS IT BRIGS BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES WHEN I USED TO BUY THEM 1PENNY FOR TW0 ..I AM OVER 60 AND I TO BE ONEST STILL BY THEM LOL
Blackjacks remind me of being a kid, always the best sweets to get as they taste amazing and as my sister does not like liquirice so no need to share!!
i love blackjacks they just remind me somuch of my childhood i still buy them now whenever i see them in a shop just cant resist em lovely
over 40 years ago I was tuck shop girl as I went home for lunch.Blackjacks my favourite, What great memories.
Good to have them back!!!!
Black jacks are brilliant this time of year, trick or treaters chew on one of these to give you the extra goulish look with the black grin
they remind me of my childhood and you can’t beat classic sweets like these.
black jacks love them, remember getting a booty bag and they were full of them, it used to make my day..
yummy sweets…..black jacks were always my favourite when i was younger….they still are if im honest enough….lol…had loads of fun with them…great childhood memories…!!!
My gosh – Blackjacks – that takes me back a bit (6o years approximately)to my younger days. They’re back – can’t wait. They were truly delicious and scrummy and loved the fact that they used to turn your tongue black and as I’m too old to care now I can’t wait to try them again.
I used to buy black jacks at a farthing each and they were one of the first sweets I used to buy when they came off ration – happy days !!
OMG!!! I sooooooooo love Black Jacks! A few years ago I had been eating these on and off all afternoon and we decided to go for a drink down our local. We had been there for about half an hour and a couple of people had given me strange looks! I went to the loo a little while after, looked in the mirror as i was washing my hands, only to discover my teeth, tongue and lips were a very becoming shade of BLACK! I could have died! And needless to say hubby had a flea in his ear for not telling me! He thought it was hysterical!
Great! As you get older the things that bring back childhood memories mean more and Blackjacks do .. that black tongue … great!
i lovee black jacks they have to be one of the best sweets out there
i love the chewyness and wonderful aniseed taste
plus the way they make your tongue black is great
also they are wrapped so you can take them with you whereever you go!!
Oh, this takes me back to the days when you could get 4 chews for a penny (old) and you felt that you were the most fortunate kid in the world! I still like to buy these, remebering how hot your mouth felt after several chews!
Is it me or are sweets smaller these days and they seem to have better flavour,still think it is great to change the colour of my mouth
Wow – these along with Fruit Salad were a much-cherished playtime treat as a young child. They sold them in the school tuck-shop… how times change. I feel nostalgic just remembering the taste! So pleased to hear they are back again 🙂
dark, chewy unmistakable yumminess
Blackjacks! Too good for kids, more for us oldies.
These were my favourite in pre-currency school days,4 for an old penny was a treat and affordable each day, I had no trouble enjoying them none of the kids in my class liked them and now if I get the mixed bags of sweets for my children they always pass the Blackjacks to me, just by luck none of my 8 like them. Of with the fruit-salads on with more blackjacks,keep them coming
black jacks total legends!!!!!!!!
Just like everyone else – take me back to my childhood and playground currency. Bring them back and I bet they are not a half penny each are they?
As soon as I saw the advert it took me right back to my childhood, I loved these sweets, I can remember spending most of my spending money on a Monday morning at the sweet shop buying these favourite penny sweets, LOL.
50 years since these old favourites passed my lips.found a little shop in truro selling them,brings back my chidhood memories.
I absolutely loved em as a child buying them for a penny or half a pence trading with my siblings and friends. Can you remember the advert about them and fruit salad?

I love these I used to go to my local post office type thing with about 5p and buy 5 for on my way home – cheap and cheerful made my day …occasionally i still buy them as a pick me up ..wonderful!
Nothing beats these sweets for a ‘blast from the past’, can remember getting my pocket money and going to buy these along with fruit salads from the local shop 2 for half a penny, those were the days
When I was about ten my brother said he would give me a black Jack for my 37th birthday. He kept his word but said I’d have to wait till I’m 75 before he buys me another one.
I used to love Blackjacks when I was a kid, with their lovely aniseed flavour, and the way they used to make your tongue black, had a few lately & bought back some memories. nice and small and chewy used to be 1/2p each when I bought them.(used to use my bus fare) please can I have some. Thanks.

These are fab!! When my children have them I nag them until they share – and I can smell them a mile off!!!
Blackjacks are my favourite, i used to always buy a bag full of them almost everyday after school!!!
Love them, reminds me of when I was a kit and had not a care in the world 🙂

I love black jacks because they make your toung black! And the juicy flavour kicks my taste bud!
Love these sweets lush lush lush
I remember when you couldn’t fit a “black jack” in your mouth it too big at least theyve kept the taste the same ;~)
Blackjacks take me back to the tuck shop on a scout’s jamboree camp when I was 13. Now they are one of the few sweets that still seem to taste the same! (I’m now 55!)
i remeber when i wwas in year 9 i brought some blackjacks from the corner shop a snuck them into my class. I got away with it for a while until the teacher asked me a question and my mouth was diyed black.
i love that your tongue goes black, yay!
I remember these. I used to go to the corner shop and buy 2 sweets for a halfpenny. Brings back memories!
I adored these when I was growing up, mind you i still do when I come across them, even my friends and family buy them me in bulk. Don’t like many sweets, but these are LUSH.
Glad to see there back, yum yum…..
one of my favourites.hope they are back to stay!
love these sweets the best 1s out
hope they are back to stay!
Take me back to my childhood, happy smiling faces, where everything could be solved with a bag of blackjacks 🙂
I love the way that Blackjacks just make your mouth water so much. Even in cold weather when they are really hard, a quick chew and your mouth is watering.
They’re great.
Also. They change the colour of your tongue – what more could you want in a sweet.
i love them cause they turn ur mouth black and so u cant hide the fact that u have been eating them. they are so much fun and taste so great
Used to get these all the time when I was at school. Used to love it when they turned your tounge black 🙂

Love em, hard to find but can be bought if you look hard enough
brings back my childhood days.every friday on dads payday we often black jacks and fruit salad chews or pineapple cubes and coconut mushrooms.those were the days.great
I really love flying saucers, you cant get a better childhood memory than that.
Yes as a child I remember going into Woolworths and going straight to the sweet counter and slipping one or two Blackjacks into my pockets so I hold my hands up and say its a fair cop gov.
They bring back memories of my school days in the 70’s when I used to visit the tuck shop every day with my pocket money from the previous week and there were so many that I could buy. They did however play havoc with my teeth as for some reason they changed colour
Blast from the past, used to love these and the black tongue 🙂
Black Jacks are something I remember from when I was younger. I remember the first time I tried them I wasnt too sure about the taste but I gave them a second chance and decided I loiked the taste and used to ave them regularly along with fruit salads and alternate them which tasted fab. Like to eat them now but have managed to lose one or two fillings along the way, lol
Mmmmm Blackjacks. Childhood revisited. 4 for a penny. More blackjacks than you could eat every week.
i love it when my tongue turns black
i love flapjacks ever since i was at school which is over 15years ago now and iv got my kids eating them to and they love em also thanx for a great tastin sweet 🙂
i love liquorice it is my absolute fave 😀 n black jacks are awesome cuz of their chewiness yum, chewy liquorice what could be better!
Just the smell alone takes me right back to primary school where I had the prestigious and much envied role of collecting sweets from store cupboard for morning tuckshop! I also have happy memories of comparing ‘blackjack tongue’ with my friends! Ah happy days of fruit salads, wham bars, fizzbombs & many many more!
Just love them, and they are even better cos it;s the one sweet that the kids don’t like (19 &21) so even more for me LOL
A true find, Warm in that fluff filled pocket, oohhh with the wrapper ON!!
I love them since my friend let me taste it! They’re just amazing, or in Polish: sa cudowne!!
what can I say you got to love blackjacks but then and again they will always be one of the very few things i have a soft spot for.
