Anyone remember these? How many did you collect? I managed to get an entire collection of 50 Tazos and 36 Qubix at one stage. Foolishly, I got rid of them. Would've been worth a fair bit!

I think they should do it again. It was so exciting.

I remember Tazos but not Qubix. I used to get the Tazos in crisp packets. I didn't know what they were then and i'm still none the wiser now. I used to give them away to the kids that came to the salon. It actually made cutting kids hair less traumatic.

These days the kids get lollipops after a haircut but the big kids enjoy them just as much if not more. It takes all my will power to resist the Rhubarb and custard ones. Actually i should have those instead of fags!

Qubix were simply square versions of Tazos, but they had a pattern on both sides so that they formed a giant picture of the Looney Tunes characters on the back. Bugs Bunny was, and still is, my favourite cartoon character.

But lollipops are good too!
