Great Thread!Nice to see the old wrappers without the Calorie count chart in the corner.

ger vallely · 08-08-2012 06:57PM

Mam of 4-that's it-cinder toffee.So tasty,well the chocolate wasn't the best but the honey comb was delicious!Well done on that!

angeline · 08-08-2012 07:04PM

Two & Two bars from the 80s. Wish they brought them back. And on a different note, the soft drink Madison, it was apple flavour.

Mam of 4 · 08-08-2012 07:21PM

Ger Vallely,how could I not remember the word toffee??!!! Agree,chocolate not great but I love it, might pop down to garage now and get some!!! I'll share ppl!!

ger vallely · 09-08-2012 10:43AM

Well mam of 4-still waiting!Did you get a boards sized portion of cinder toffee??

Mam of 4 · 09-08-2012 11:03AM

Does anyone remember Cool Bits? I loved them!

Mam of 4 · 10-08-2012 10:14PM

Cool bits? sound familiar but can't place them??

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 10-08-2012 10:38PM

They were a bag of small ice cream/ice lolly things in different shapes! I think they were out in the early 90s.

Mam of 4 · 10-08-2012 10:47PM

Ah yes!! My daughter loved them,fruity zangy bits..thanks for that,had forgotten all about them

Rubecula · 10-08-2012 11:01PM

I remember Bar 6 when it first came out it got it's name as it had six 'fingers'. like a KitKat but the fingers went sideways instead of lengthways. I think they later changed it but kept the name.

One of the most annoyingly catchy jingles ever! I never remembered Ted Rogers being in the ads though!

the 5-4-3-2-1 bar was great but not as good as the United Bar, that was savage

Remember the...

Curly Wurly,
Big Time Bar,
Fizzle Sticks......;)

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.

I remember these peanuts wrapped around a soft toffee middle.
Also miss raspberry Ruffle and macaroons bars the ones with the soft white center.

Um - only bought a Curly Wurly a week or two ago....

oldyouth · 26-08-2012 10:29AM

The Curly Wurly is the most popular bar in my wife's shop. Though I've said it once and I'll say it again. The damn bar is only a third the size it was back in the day :mad:

Anyone remember Texan Bars? They were made of nougat so chewy, your jaws would ache....

Also, Kilimanjaro ice-creams? They were red with orange and white inside .....and totally yum!

Now you said it, the United was only gorgeous, lovely crispy bits in the chocolate, I really miss that!

Franchise related :

He-Man (and later Ghostbusters) bars. They were chocolate and caramel with the bar actually molded into the shape of the characters.

Also "Gremlin" heads was another cool one. Based on the movies you got this sort of moulded plastic head that unscrewed and had sweets inside. I think there was 2x gremlins and 1x Gizmo varieties.

I remember the texan bar alright, it was so chewy I'd say if I had one now it'd probably pull out a couple of fillings!

davet82 · 28-08-2012 03:19PM

Some of my favourites...

Beezer Bars

Tangy Bars (lemon & lime, mint, and limited edition tropical)

Woppa Bars (Cola, Mint)

Black Jack Bars, Apple Jack Bars, Fruit Salad Bars

No wonder I have fcuk all teeth now

movingsucks · 01-09-2012 08:35PM

Nerds, Dweebs, Runts (my favourite!) and Gobstoppers. Classic 90s.

Also Top Deck and buried in my mind is a blue Care Bears bar. There was a pink one that was actually pink chocolate but the blue was milk chocolate

gammygils · 02-09-2012 03:00AM

Trigger Bars
Texan
Florida Fruits
Golden Days Toffees
Mint Eclairs
Jaw Breakers- The challenge was to suck one during class at school because you wouldn't be able to talk for half an hour until you broke through to the chewing gum centre. And you couldn't swallow it!
So if you were asked a question during class you were fu*ked

marshmallowx · 02-09-2012 03:26AM

Remember'big bars' the cheapest chocolate ever but at 5p :)were Delish!! postman pats... COla pips...possibly the best sweets ever!!
