Oh my God...I found CARAMACS!

I just had to post this here out of sheer excitement:
I was in Tesco last night and out of the corner of my eye saw a load of Caramacs! 19 to be precise and I bought the lot of them much to the peculiar looks from midnight shoppers just in case I don't see them again for a while! They still taste so good

emeraldstar

Haha!

In fairness though, it was a bit mean buying them all. What about all the other Caramac lovers out there? You've just rubbed it right in their faces.

Lol, well good for you!
Yeah I've seen Caramacs around quite a bit lately so they must be back.

Jim

They've been back awhile I think.

When I lived in England I was amazed they sold they there, got them all the time. Then I came back and they had them in shops in Dublin. The novelty was gone

barleybooley

Yeah, but I'm from the wesht don't forget so we're at least a decade behind at all time

loopyloulilly

i thought you could only buy them in the north, just like fives and postman pats!!

barleybooley

What are fives? Oh my god I used love Postman Pats, so tasty and Apple Jacks!

barley check out Tescos - I've seen the Caramacs in a couple of Tescos so keep an eye out!

Jim

Think Fives were the really cheap crisps?

si_guru

Caramacs .... mmm used get them from me Auntie in the 1970's..

loopyloulilly

yeah fives were 5p and the bag was brusting with crisps not like nowadays! You could get them in pickle onion or i think the other was bacon flavour not sure! postman pats bacon and bean flavour. Remember the tuck shops with tip top yum yum!!

My apologies for dragging up a zombie thread - but i found some caramac's the other night and they are still delicious!!

Mrs Fox

I heart Caramacs!!!:p
I found them at the Texaco garage in Newcastle Dublin west sometime last year and bought five! Prior to that I haven't seen them since the late 80s.

Went back to that garage and they've stopped stocking them
