Natural Goodness
My mum only ever let us watch the BBC because she thought adverts were evil, and we never had any sweets in the house - even Ribena was banned. We just had fruit. Me and my brother used to sneak into the cupboard and eat vitamin pills because they were the sweetest thing we could find.

Totally backfired though; now I love adverts more than actual telly, and eat the most synthetic E-number laden food I can find. Ha! Take that, mum!

Thats totally totally mental - are you related to me
Those hariborange vitamin tablets were the closest thing i ever got to sweets and when we went round my grans me, my dad and my brother could all be found elbow deep in the biscuit tin nomming like cows with cud. Grandpa let us watch ITV which was like porn to me. AND mum sent me to bloody school with a tupperware cup of water WATER in my shit plastic tupperware lunchbox with my tongue sandwich and a wrinkly apple.

the idea of the cup of water makes me very very sad.

yeah
it was those Sanatogen kids tablets that were little spheres of all different colours - and therefore flavours, even though they all tasted the same. Purple was the best.

We weren't allowed sweets either
and we didn't have the sugar-coated vitamin pills so that was no good... I think I took to eating saccharin tabs at one point. Nice.
