I used to get one every week when my mother was doing the shopping-they used to sell them in Crazy Prices.

What other bars/sweets do you miss from the late 80's/90's?

Taltos

Texan bar from the 80s.
Still crave it to this day.....

Hm that doesn't ring a bell..describe it?

BeautyFromPain

Secret bar.

Orange with little black somethings, don't know what they were
Showed the Mammy and she thought they were stones and it was a bad product

They were nice


Sickeningly [in a good way] sweet, I've never had a bar as sweet as these

jupiterjack

was out walking dog today and found an old marathon wrapper, since its name was changed to snickers in 1990 i was just wondering where was that wrapper for the last 22 years.

Texan was a bar of white chewy nougat covered in chocolate. It came in a yellow wrapper, may have been a cowboy hat on it. They were lovely:D

Remember finding one in school but that was about 15 years ago, not nearly as impressive as your find

I find it hard to believe this bar was in production until 2006, it seems to be gone from the shelves a lot longer!

Remember the massive marketing when this came out?

"Masters of the Universe" bars, think they were 10p and there were two characters from the cartoon on each bar which broke in the middle. It was such a treat to get one after Sunday mass,

introduced my Scottish OH to Klipso bars recently and he loved them. I personally love macaroon bars, the ones with the white wrapper.

Can anyone who was at Dublin Zoo in the 80's remember the big lollipops they used to sell in the area around the exit?

They were big, red-wine coloured and wrapped in crinkly plastic wrap. I think they even had some weird shape (may have been like a soother shape or something curved anyway).

They were big anyway and sticky as hell. I'm saying it's a retro thing but they might even still sell them for all I know. I'd love to see a pix of whatever it was anyway.

If this is what you are talking about then yes, they are still available. They sell them in the likes of Bray Seafront.

Anyone remember Smiley Bars? They were like chomps but they were orange flavoured?? Delish!

Also, superman chewing gum? They were Cherry flavour and you got a superman tattoo with them. Actually taste exactly like Wild Cherry Hubba Bubba

He-man bars, postman pat sweets, egg yolks, big-time bars, Tango bars, Lazer bars and Giant Chew bars .... How I still have teeth is beyond me!

My favourite crisps from that time were Crunchos who (according to Facebook :rolleyes:) making a come back. Anyone remember those crisps that were 5 pence??

More like a tan coloured nougat IIRC.

I was about to post before reading the thread....."Anyone mentioned the 'Texan Bar' yet?

Stinger bars, when they used to be the lenght of your fore arm. A half hours worth of chewing. And as few people mentioned, Klipso:D

There used to be candy fags as well that were basically made of the same type of sugar is used in Love hearts, most of the cigarette was white candy with the "filter" a brown candy. No wonder nearly every graduated onto real cigarettes by the time they were 13/14

There was a bar in the early/mid eighties that was out briefly and I can't remember the name of it. I don't think it was from one of the big companies like Cadburys, Rowntree or Mars. It was a honeycomb bar kind of like the Crunchie but wider and the honeycomb was softer, stickier and with bigger holes in it than the crunchie. Anyone got any ideas what it might have been?

Was it called puff candy?

Cadbury's Secret from 1990 holds special memories for me 'cos its arrival coincided with the WorldCup:)


Earlier than this was Two&Two bar, many on this forum remember this fondly:)

That name doesn't register with me but I googled the name and it looks sort of like what I remember, pretty close anyway. I think it came in a blue wrapper rather than a red one which the picture in the link shows. http://www.ayrshirehistory.com/sweetie_papers/ross_puff_candy_second_vs.jpg

Ann22

There was a choccie thing out around 1988 no one else seems to remember..it was dark chocolate, pyramid shaped and full of mint fondant...maybe I imagine it.

Another thing no one else seems to remember is the Peppermint Paté...it was biscuit shaped and had a silver and blue foil wrapping...dark choc coating filled with mint fondant, from late 70s.

Anyone out there remember Rowntree's Nutty bar?....Nyom! This is a pic of the wrapper, it was transparent. Again late 70s. Sorry op if this is too far back for this thread.

Mighty morphin power rangers wine gums. Not sure if anyone know of them.

Sounds a bit like Viscount biscuits

dahamsta

It was only biscuit /shaped/, no actual biscuit. You can still get similar in the US, or from a UK candy seller. I usually get one in my xmas treat box.

I love orange Viscount, but I never see them around anymore. Was only reminded of them the other day in LIDL when I saw a packet of the icky mint ones.

Thanks Dahamsta, you're right, there was no biscuit in it. That looks just like it! I seem to remember the wrapping to have been more firmly attached much like Viscounts are wrapped but I could be wrong.

Wouldn't be mad about Smileys, but I'll be checking Mugraves for chocolate-covered toffee mice next time I'm up there, yum yum. They were like tastier Scots Clan you had to work at.

They're just candy cigarettes without the different colour candy for the filter!

I love these sweets! I only came across them again last month so I had to buy them. Happy out.
Drumstick lollies are lovely too. I remember when Jurassic Park came out, they had lollies with bubble gum in the centre of them. Opal fruits, I didnt like as much when they changed the name, for some reason.
