I wish they'd sell Lucky Charms in Ireland again (I mean properly, not some prick importing them and selling them for a tenner a box)

NothingMan · 28-12-2009 05:52PM

Does anyone remember Secret bars? They were a thin wispy chocolate full of cream. Kind of like a walnut whip in a bar without the nut.

They were in a gold wrapper with a piece of cardboard stopping it from breaking.

Hmm...

Top Deck
Snow Flake
HB Cool Bits
Flipz (Chocolate flavored pretzel things that you can only get from the US now)

Bloody huge +1 for the Coconut Crumble Cream things from Duness. They were utterly epic!

phasers · 28-12-2009 05:54PM

Oooh, and chocolate covered pretzels as well, they were savage!

You can get them in Dundrum cinema. Not sure of the brand though! Definitely not flipz. They're more chocolatey.

Oh, Sky Ice Creams. They had like a whole Aero in the middle of the ice cream.

I forgot about them! They were so good!

Definitely agree with the Nestle Secret bars, delicious.

Neurofen have recently stopped making meltlets

I now either have to swallow stupid whole tablets, or use the children's lower-content version.

First there was lucky charms, which were great. They stopped being sold here, some time passes and there is Hot Krumbly (cereal again if that wasn't obvious). I only recently found someone else who had even heard of them, many years went between them being gone and me finding anyone even familiar with them.

Ok, I agree about the top decks.

Let's do something about it.

Peperami. I don't think I'd want to buy one if they were still on sale in this country, but I would like the choice.

Fizzle Sticks (Instant High)
Maltesers (original formula)
Texan bar (Remember the chocolate used to break off when you bit into it)
Wibbly Wobbly Wonder (original - that jelly stuff they have on top now is rancid)

Oh, and just so ye don't think I'm obsessed with sweeties...

Dan Bars and my youth

Dan Bars are still about,

i had one a few weeks ago for the memories, not as much of the black toppings and not as long as they used to be,

but still delicous - but as always not recommended if you have any dodgy teeth or filings, unless you want them out!

Bring back Smiley bars!!!

Joe Cool · 28-12-2009 06:13PM

Guinness North Star & the Zappy Apple Fruit Gum.
Wish they were both still around.

...oh and Fat Frog ice-pops.

Milky Moo · 28-12-2009 06:15PM

I read somewhere they were taken off the shelf because they were too expensive to package.

Those HB callipo lime green shots, mouthwatering
