    Anyone I ever mention these to looks at me blankly!

    Do you remember Pyramints? I feckin loved them. Used to get one the odd Sunday after mass in honeypark dairies shop. Great little shop so it was :D Wish I could remember the owners name, she was lovely and she used to give me and my sister a packet of chewits on top of whatever we bought from our 50p that Grandad's friend tommy gave us :pac:

    They were delish, like a pyramid shaped after eight!

    I loved these!
    As someone who could eat a room full of after eights, these were amazing!
    There was a little paper lip after bottom of the packaging that released the minty bounty into by palm for instant devouring!

    I remember the TV ad that ran for it circa 1991.Featuring fellas dressed up as stereotypical Egyptian characters in fezes and doing phaorah dances etc.There was a song which I can only remember bits of "its (something something) in Peckham and on the river Nile."

    I think a Facebook campaign is called for!

    That has to be one of the campest ads I have seen in a long time :pac:

    They do look delish alright but it wouldn't have been my thing when I was a kiddo as I was not a mad fan of the dark chocolate then. I'd deffo give it a go if I saw one now though.

    I remember another ad for this,too-
    There was an invisible man wearing mummy cloth,and he starts unwrapping the cloth he is wearing while eating the chocolate,and says "......there is no better way for me to unwind.." and laughs menacingly,and at the end,a scary but funny voice says "New Terry's Pyramint-Mummies AND Daddies love them!!"

    Siúl leat, siúl leat, le dóchas i do chroí, is ní shiúlfaidh tú i d'aonar go deo.

    When I was in fourth class we had to do a project on the tombs of the pharoes and we were put in groups to make dioramas. My group decided that for added realism we should have some small pyramids in the distance so bought some of these chocolates so we could paint the boxes as our pyramids. Tastiest homework ever.

    I do remember them surely. The summer of '88 I bought a fair few :)...around the same time I was skulling lots of pineapple Smak drinks.
