Cadburys sweets

Ruu_Old

I think there were sort of like poppets, could have had raisin, biscuit and toffee. I remember the ad and it had some chap coming off a train I think. They weren't out for that long from what I can remember, anyone know the name of them? It had the song below as the soundtrack.

Strollers???

Ruu_Old

Think they are the ones, cheers.

Yep, they were Strollers. Very nice they were too. Like the Wispas, I never noticed when Cadburys stopped making them. I think they re-released Black's Wonderful Life at the time as well.

Are them sweets revels or revells (not sure of spelling) not something like the ones described above.think theyre in a brown and orange packet,

Ruu_Old

Something similar I believe, Revels are the ones below. I think they were orange and coffee.

Hmmm.

My initial reaction was Munchies?
They came in a longer-than normal pack...
But they were Nestlé, not Cadburys.

Munchies can still be got and only had one type of sweet in the packet. Strollers had 3 different types - raisin, biscuit and toffee. I think they came in a purple packet similar in colour to a dairly milk but the same shape as the Revels packet above.

'Time Bar'

Yellow plastic wrapper, could break off into 3 equal sized squares and made of (withstand-a-nuclear-holocaust-hard) toffee covered with about a milimetre of cheap powdery milk chocolate.

Think they were 5pand then crawled up to about 10p

When we were kids, my sisters backtooth was stuck onto a time bar I remember. Just perfectly formed tooth embedded into the toffee. Worse thing is we decided not to tell anyone about it. Those were the days..

Firetrap

Oh yes. The tip of one of my front teeth came to grief on a Kalipso bar. Are companies still allowed to make toffee that reefs kids' teeth?

Not sure - come to think of it I dont think they were actually made by cadburys ? Anyone know ? I have a feeling it was an irish company like caffreys or something. They were seriously tough - you could armour plate an iraq humvee with a few boxes of those.

friend and foe

yeah they were caffrey's "big time bar"

came in an amazingly cheap yellow plastic wrapper with clocks on it...

they can still be bought if you look hard enough, only had one a couple of weeks ago..
