As for other chocolate bars, I used to love Fuse bars and Galaxy fruit and nut.

Re: what happened to....
 

Fruit and Nut still exists i think, or is that Dairy Milk now?

Fuse bars however, WOW, they were nice :) In fact, i might take a look round the corner shop and see what i can see, maybe even ask about a few oldies... haha.

:D Goody Bags with the Bloody Awful ` Parma Violets`.

Jubblies? MMMMMmmmmmmmmmm:D
Sherbet Dips and what were the tubes of Sherbet that you sucked up with a Liquorice straw? were they the Dabs?

Re: what happened to....
 

You can still bu all of those budwieser :) And the parma violets are nice :O

Re: what happened to....
 

Can you really? :) Don`t buy too many sweets nowadays myself. expect i will for my Grand Daughter soon though.:rolleyes: :D

Re: what happened to....
 

those were Bassetts 'Sherbet Fountains' - they should have had a health warning - breathing sherbet isn't recommended ;)

Re: what happened to....
 

Of course you can :)
You can't buy them singally anymore though, nt to my knowledge anyway.

Saucers were the best :)

And good luck with the grand-daughter :)

Re: what happened to....
 

They were cool.

Re: what happened to....
 

Anyone else remember Ovaltine chocolate bars? Or (really going back a long way now) Zing Bars? More recently, the white chocolate lime KitKat was yummy!

Re: what happened to....
 

" And good luck with the grand-daughter :)"
Cheers Dude.:D

Sherbet Fountains!!!!!!!!!!! Coughed many a time with those Feckers!:D Thanks for that.:)

Re: what happened to....
 

What about Wispa...? Anyone seen them around? They were good.

Also, Pacers... they were kinda like mint flavoured Opal Fruits.

Re: what happened to....
 

Wipa still exist i think, a shop in Kiveton still has them as far as i know. Bloody nice choccie too :)

Re: what happened to....
 

Wispa is only Aero though isn`t it?:erm: but then i always thought Aero tasted better than Wispa!:disturbd:

What about Curly wurlys!!!!!! Not seen them about for years!

Re: what happened to....
 

I dunno, i couldn't tell much of a difference, but it could be...

Re: what happened to....
 

Curly Wurlys are still about but what about my coffee walnut whips they don't make them any more :(

Re: what happened to....
 

Nooo, Wispa had really tiny holes and loads of chocolate, but Aero has huge holes and less chocolate... plus Cadbury's chocolate tastes better than Mars chocolate, imo.

I'll admit that the old Wispa adverts were crap though

---------- Post added at 21:30 ---------- Previous post was at 21:29 ----------

Yeah, they sell curly wurlys in the shop we have on-site at work. I'll buy you one if you like :)

Re: what happened to....
 

Thanks very much for the offer Mate!:tu: They changed the recipe for curly wurly`s back in 1975 i think it was and they were never the same!
Used to love Texan bars though, the sort of thing that would pull your fillings out!:disturbd: :D

Why did they change Milky way bars as well!>?????????????

Re: what happened to....
 

Looks like wispa isn't available now.. :(

It's not listed on the Cadbury site.

Re: what happened to....
 

According to Wikipedia... :cry:

Re: what happened to....
 

Yeah Whispa was more chocately and seemed sort of slightly coffee flavoured to some slight extent.

I also love Mint Matchmaker sticks, very nice......and double deckers.


A couple of years ago they used to make these little chocolate Christmas puddings that were in two halves. They were lovely and had a kind of milk chocolate truffle nutty centre !!!
Then they decided to poison them by adding a marzipan flavour to them. yuck.

Re: what happened to....
 

that reminds me, something ive not had in years, after eight mints :)

Re: what happened to....
 

Ok hands up anyone who remembers Spangles?:D

Re: what happened to....

Wheres your avator gone?

Re: what happened to....
 

My hands up :D what about nux ? who remembers them :)

Re: what happened to....
 

Yeah - I remember Spangles - hated the Old English ones :sick:
And Nux bars - I thought they were a figment of my imagination! They were lovely :drool:
Oh, the joys of my parents owning a sweetshop as I was growing up! :D

Re: what happened to....
 

Spangles were great because they seemed to be the first boiled sweet that didn't rip the roof of your mouth apart, like a 'sour lemon' or a 'pear drop', would.

- but they did get very gooey, in your pocket, on a hot day ;)

- and how many 'mighty imps' could you hold in your mouth at the same time ? :cool: :D

Re: what happened to....
 

Ah Mighty Imps, Liquorice and Aniseed i think they were, is that right and as hot as hell! :D

Re: what happened to....
 

whatever happened to cabanas?

ik

Re: what happened to....
 

yup :cool;

Re: what happened to....
 

Yep, I do - I'm 31.

Lion Bars - are they still around?

Opal Fruits too, not Starbursts.

Re: what happened to....
 

What I want to know is what happened to Tiger nuts? :(

Re: what happened to....
 

Show me your snickers ;) :LOL:

Re: what happened to....
 

I would but I haven't got any today... :naughty:

Re: what happened to....
 

Well, at least now we know why the tiger is an endangered species ;)

Re: what happened to....
 

:dozey::disturbd::rofl:

Re: what happened to....
 

What about the Milky Way Stars and the Wonka Bars?

Re: what happened to....
 

Milkyway Stars are very much alive, the Wonka Bars fuzzed out not long after the film had.

Re: what happened to....
 

They were sold by KP nuts in little 2d(old pence) cellophane packets.Shows how much younger than me you are you whipper snapper you.:p:

Re: what happened to....
 

I think I had a lion bar a few Sundays back although at 5 o'clock on a Sunday morning it really could have been anything, probably wasn't even chocolate at all :erm:

Re: what happened to....
 

Well, allergic to nuts which is why I'm probably a little lax in the remembering them department :)

Oh, and definitely younger as well :PP:

Re: what happened to....
 

Yep Lion Bars are most definitely still around! They disappeared for a while but there was demand for them so they were bought back! KP Used to do flavoured nuts, but I've not seen them in ages!!

Re: what happened to....
 

What happened to Nux bars? They were lovely! :drool: :D

Re: what happened to....
 

Re cappuccino flavored aeros try TESCO i here there open 24 hours lol im sure you could find some one to give you a lift LOL.

Anyway hope your ok kronas long time no hear.

Re: what happened to....
 

I remember packets of crisps costing 3p my nan owned a pub and I was a youngster..

Lion bars rock...

does anyone rember hedgehog flavoured crisps?

Re: what happened to....
 

Yes! Those and marmite flavoured ones were the only 2 out of 10 which I couldn't name in biology whilst tasting with a pinched nose to demonstrate that taste relies on smell.
I can't smell, and was able to successfully name 8 flavours of crisp :D
