Yes, I remember them well. Along with Cephos Powders, Zambuk and Goose-grease. Lung Healers looked like little grains of rice.

Yes John.......we used to say a little(nasty) rhyme.......
'Green gozzle pudding and hot snot pie,
All mixed up with a dead dogs eye,
Slap it on a butty,
Slap it on thick.
Wash it all down with a bucket of sick'
...eeeewww. Hope you have had your tea
