This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

Bone Shakers were pieces of swizzle-type skeleton sweets in a plastic coffin. You could put the pieces together like a jigsaw and they cost about 6p in 1984(ish).

    I Remember having these as a kid and using the plastic coffin to bury my dead goldfish, then digging it up again a few weeks later to see what had happened, but the whole thing had vanished...

    OMG Me and my fella just talking about these the other night... Top treats these and cheap too. The only thing was there was never a full skelton pieces in any coffin and you had to buy two or three to make a proper one. Always loads of hands or loads of skulls. Oh the days. Bring em back !!!

    Wow. I'd completely forgotten about these! I once used one of the coffins to bury my dead goldfish in our front garden! I'm sure you could put the sweets together and it made a skelington. Rest in peace Chip the fish.
