Fave Sweeties,and sweets that should be brought back

[Oggy]

What sweets/treats do you remember....?



Galaxy Counters- similar to Minstrals
Texan-legendary bar.:D
Sweet Tobacco;)
Pink Panther pink chocolate bar.
Walls Sky Ray ice lollies.
A Dracula ice lolly with black ice, and inner red jelly, supposely blood, not sure what it was called though.:cool:
Corona pop-Loved the apple/cider drink.
A Dalek Death Ray? Ice Lolly

[annie1]

original and fruit flavour toffo's oh and mint flavour. Haven't seen them around for years.

[Aidan]

Loved Pink Panther bars and Dracula Icelollies - shame they're gone. Who ever ate :
Toffee Tuffee( spelling ?), a caramel icelolly , or
Big Time bars, filling-extractingly hard toffee in a coat-of-paint-thin layer of chocolate ?

[tanas]

Galaxy Counters, Treets (toffee and nut ones) and most of all, the coconut one in Revels!

[koukou]

I think I am odd because I like the coffee ones in Revels!!!! lol

Fry's Creme bars.. have found the mint ones but can't find the fruit ones.

[dondons69]

OMG koukou you must be the only person that remembers the frys fruit bars - i always see the green and the blue packet (mint ones) my mum always used to buy me one when i was ill, i loved the strawberry bit!

[Oggy]

I remember the Frys bars didn't George Lazenby, pre Bond do the adverts for them, iked the fruit ones better, but can't recall the flavors to be honest, wasn't it a red, white and green kinda wrapper?

[Oggy]

Remember the Toffo's mint ones too, on their own?

[wingman]

I bought some sweet tobacco on Saturday :)

[Cal]

i used to love cabana chocolate bars......coconut with cherry in the centre.
sherbet dib dabs.
space dust

[Smee_1972]

Oooh Cabana Bars - bring 'em back! Ditto Trio Bars.

I remember those Count Dracula ice lollies - they made your tongue go black. Cool.

Can you imagine sweet tobacco returning in this overly PC environment? No. Such a shame! I also liked the mini cigarettes made of a very inferior type of chocolate covered in paper. Yummy!

I also like that Nutty bar - I don't know if that was the correct name - they were bars with lots of peanuts stuck on the outside, in a clear brown cellophane wrapper. Yumsville.

Remember Mars Bars and Marathon Bars when they were in PAPER wrappers?

Oh, to be 9 years old again..........*sigh*



Smee_1972 :(

[kjen]

Remember the Toffo's mint ones too, on their own?

you can still get em in scotland ^^

[Oggy]

Kool Toffo's on the return from North of the border, Nutty bars they were kool, and Spangles, in a variety of flavors, fizzy orange was my fave.

[tanas]

Are Tootie Frooties still out? Used to love them. Also, I haven't seen Rowntree Fruit Gums for a while - they were knobbly on one side, flat on the other and rock hard! They were wrapped in a yellow wrapper with pictures of fruit on the side.

[Dian]

tootie fruities are still out but they arnt the same they are really hard now

[tanas]

What about Goldrush. They were little golden nugget chewing gums that came in a cloth bag with a drawstring.

[Oggy]

Goldrush, oh yes they were nice, not much to them though

[Oggy]

How about Old Jamacian, chocolate?

[tanas]

Not sure about that one - don't think I ever had the guts to try it! Used to love Milk Tray in a bar though.

[koukou]

Does anyone remember Golden Cup bars? They were a milk choc bar with a gold coloured transuluscent caramel in a bar that was in segements. I can remember them until the mid to late 80's but then they seem to have disapeared.

[Oggy]

I recall Fruit Gums being in boxes too, but don't think the tubes of fruit gums have changed too much over the years.:)

[Oggy]

Not sure about that one - don't think I ever had the guts to try it! Used to love Milk Tray in a bar though.

My Partner keeps going on about the Milk tray bars I thought she was winding me up, glad someone else has heard of it too.:D

[Oggy]

Think I've seen the Golden Cups still about.

[Oggy]

Bar 6, a chocolate bar split into 6 segments?

[tanas]

Ohmigod, Golden Cups!! They were delish, haven't seen them for ages. Milk Tray bars were cool but they cost about a pound even way back then!

[annie1]

does any one remember logger's the chocolate was in the shpe of a log. I think you could get milk chocolate, nutty and fruit and nut.

[Oggy]

space dust was kool, loved hte way it tingled in your mouth.

[Cal]

does anyone remember the name of these chocolates.
it was a tube of white chocolates about the size of a 50p , dish shaped .
i know its vague but apart from remembering they tasted so good thats all i can remember

[Oggy]

I remember Logger, though weren't they called Chocolate logs?

[Lozza]

Oh my god, Texan bars!! I loved them! DOes anyone remember the small bags of bubble gum shaped like gold nuggets? Can't remember what they called...probably something really obvious like golden nuggets!!!

[armchair_scouse]

You guys ought to visit www.aquarterof.co.uk (http://www.aquarterof.co.uk), if you fancy a trip down 'Sweet Heaven Lane'. I have ordered stuff from here before, so can recommend it highly. And no, I am not on a percentage!!

[Oggy]

Yep its a kool site, been there ordered from them too, memories that you can eat kool.

[DavidJHowe]

The Dracula lolly was called COUNT DRACULA'S SECRET and here is the wrapper :)

This is now sold as fizz wizz oggy.:p my kids love the stuff, I have to admitt,I pinch the odd pinch of them.:)

ohhhh I was just trying to get a picture of fizz wizz, and the site I was on, popped up a warning that it was copywrite and my I.P address has been "logged" is this anything to worry about??

[sixtyten]

Nothing to worry about

[DavidJHowe]

Wow,Where did you find that,David?

I've had it for years and years - I have a boxful of old '70s sweet wrappers, catalogues, crisp packets, freebies and all manner of neat things. I have the stencils referred to on the DRACULAS SECRET wrappers as well.

I think I may need to dig it out sometime and do some scanning :)

I have all the Daleks Death Ray wrappers as well (there were 18 in total).

David

[sixtyten]

Fantastic! Please scan them and post them.I'd love to see them:D
What stuff is in there??

[Heather74]

Not sure if you can still get these in the shops, but I loved them as a kid.

[Oggy]

Cabana's were yummy........

[Heather74]

Cabana's were yummy........
What are they oggy?

[sixtyten]

Horrid:D

(If you hate coconut):p

[Oggy]

lovely if you like coconut and cherry coverd in chocolate too :D

[Heather74]

ohhhh sounds like heaven!:p

[Oggy]

Yep they were/are, making me hungry now........:o

[andria]

Oh my god, i loved these too,

[bumblelady]

i buy loads on ebay, all the old favs on there

[Heather74]

kn:) w what I'll be searching for on ebay, next time I visit.

[leg1ndyoll]

:rolleyes:
Spangles
:rolleyes:

[sixtyten]

they were brought back in 1993/4, but failed to sell,but then 70s nostalgia was not what it is today back then:D

[TOPCAT]

Does Anyone Remember A Raspberry Or Strawberry Flavoured Ice Cream Lolly Which Had Little Berry Segments In Ice Covering The Ice Cream?

[TOPCAT]

CHECK OUT http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/THEY SELL A GREAT SELECTION OF SWEETS THAT WE ALL LOVE LIKE THE CANDY LETTERS & ARE JUST starting SELLING "GOLD NUGGETS" BUBBLY GUM IN THOSE LITTLE SACKS.GO ON HAVE A LOOK!!!!!!

[stevef]

I will, but only if you stop shouting.:p:D

[stevef]

That link just looks like a search engine to me.:confused:

[sixtyten]

Fixed it

[stevef]

Thanks Daz, that's more like it!:D

[astrabug]

Pacer`s mints, bit like chewy starbursts, but minty.

[isy 1]

Anyone remember nunch bars, crushed peanuts caramel and chocolate more fab than a fab thing

[Heather74]

Hi Again Isy :)
Nunch bars are mentioned on the defunct sweet thread, with a little info on name changes. :) Here's a quick link.
http://forums.doyouremember.co.uk/showthread.php?t=645&highlight=nunch&page=42

P.S, Here's hoping a dont shatter another dream. LOL

[isy 1]

hello again :D i remember star bars though they never tasted the same as the nunch bar, although that just might be my memory deceiving me again lol....... and know way did a peanut boost taste the same.

[sixtyten]

Can't recall the nunch at all, although I would have bought one as I love anything peanuty..(see any american bar)
The advantage we have over the Yanks is the chocolate.
American Choc is pants ..thin and waxy, never melts in the mouth like UK choc.
but the advantage they have is 99.9% of US bars are peanut based.

I've said it before & I'll say it again..WHEN will they make a UK version of the divine Butterfinger, but with Cadburys choc coating it?? :D

[DoubleAgent]

I had Cadbury's Cherry Ripe when in Australia - LOVELY a bit like Cabana bars i guess as they're cherry coconut wrapped in milk choc.
I remember the name Cabana but don't know if I ever tried it

[sixtyten]

You can get Cherry Ripe in The Cybercandy stores (London/Brighton)

[stevef]

Cherry Ripes are actually dark chocolate. That's probably why I don't care for them too much. Not into coconut much either.:p

[Optimusprime]

Its called gold nugget bubble gum lol Do a google search for it and see what happens ! I found sweet tobacco, toffos and parmaviolets.

I remember a couple of years ago that they brought back the texan bar for a few months, they even had it in woolies and tescos.

[louise4]

Oh my god, Texan bars!! I loved them! DOes anyone remember the small bags of bubble gum shaped like gold nuggets? Can't remember what they called...probably something really obvious like golden nuggets!!!

Did they come in a little yellow draw string bag? (small bits of nuggets yummy)!:)

[Monkey Tennis]

The story that went around our school was that the reason that Space Dust got taken off the shelves was because some kid had given some to his dog...and the dog died.
Probably not true.

DYR Toblerone in boxes ?
Again in our school people used to say that Sir Issac Newton had a Toblerone on his table on the back of an old One Pound Note
http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/872654/2/istockphoto_872654_one_pound_note

[stevef]

DYR Toblerone in boxes ?
Yeah, I had one a couple of weeks ago.:confused:

[Monkey Tennis]

Does anyone remember the Chocolate tools (:D) that used to be on sale, they weren't in packets, also there was chocolate fish n' chips and mice.

Again also does anyone remember the fish n' chips crisps ?? I think they were made by Smith's or Burton's, sort of a biscuit, sort of a crisp.

[Heather74]

I remember White Chocolate Fish and Chips and brown chocolate tools.( The tools are mentioned in the Defunct sweet thread) The Burtons Fish and chips a packet is posted by Daz on the crisps thread see page 11.


http://www.sweetsncandy.co.uk/prodimages/milfis_l.jpg

[Austin 1100]

I used to love those chocolate tools lol!
Those mint cracknel bars with the green glass-like stuff inside were great.
I also remember a lovely chocolate milk ice lolly but can't remember the name, it was about the same shape and size as a Smashers lolly.

When I was really small I remember a red boiled sweet lolly in a cellophane wrapper, flat and oval shaped with white swirled through it. they were gorgeous!:)

[Fatboy]

What sweets/treats do you remember....?



Galaxy Counters- similar to Minstrals

I think they should bring back Keeko's and Top Deck Shandy. Many a hot summers day as a kid were spent with one or the other. Happy days :)

[Morcar]

I used to love their Lager and Lime. I'm sure they did a cider based one too.

Are you not thinking of Top Deck shandy? I agree they were lovely. The Keeko's used to come in cartons.

[jorge]

I remember coffee break. Two fingered bar similar to a kit kat but with textured chocolate like twix. They were choc coated wafers with a coffee filling.

[Kiop]

Cabana bar - they should bring that back, it was gorgeous.

[zip55]

I recall Fruit Gums being in boxes too, but don't think the tubes of fruit gums have changed too much over the years.:)

I'm pretty sure the ones in boxes were shaped like a half of the actual fruit rather than the ones you got in a tube.

[stuckinthe80's]

I'm pretty sure the ones in boxes were shaped like a half of the actual fruit rather than the ones you got in a tube.

Yeah I remember that the ones in the boxes were fruit shaped not round same for boxed fruit pastilles. I always thought that the boxed ones tasted better. Obviously that was all in my head!

[pantherpink]

space dust was kool, loved hte way it tingled in your mouth.

My daughter came back from a party last week with a little bag of sweets in the "going home bag", and when I opened it for her i realised it was Space Dust!! (but it was called something different). I told her to try a tiny speck of it and she hated it, so I poured the whole lot in my mouth and let her watch and listen lol! it really took me back to my youth :)

[maggie]

My all time favorite the foam teddy bears, I just love it because it's really soft and chewy and the taste?? Wow I should say it's perfectly delicious! I can't resist to have it always in my bag when I get nothing to do from my work. I just purchase a box of it since I can't any stores here that are selling just like this one, I'm waiting for my box to received it. Can't wait to have it. :)

[sixtyten]

Well done
Shame they could not have brought back something more exotic than Counters (which you can still get in Revels anyway). Seems rather pointless

Just the one above link is enough for our members to find their way to you should they wish thank you Chocaholic. The others have been removed.

[Superbokka]

does any one remember logger's the chocolate was in the shpe of a log. I think you could get milk chocolate, nutty and fruit and nut.Yeah I remember Loggers fruit was the nicest.

[tonyfinster]

wasn't the Fry's fruit bar called 5 centres?.

Just been on the aquarterof website, Floral gums and cherry lips were on the same page and some are coming my way, cant wait hee hee hee!

[vanhelsing]

You can still get sherbert dib dabs.

[The Low Country]

Yes, I'd noticed that too but didn't think to mention it. Thanks for that. :-)


..and now Dime bars are called Diam

[leggingslover]

Can anyone else remember a chocolate bar called Applause it had a biscuity bottom like a twix and on top it was a apple flavoured caramel with raisins in yummie,think it was made by cadbury but not sure

Anyway back to the question on what was your favourite treat that you wish they would bring back like the Wispa ?

Mine would have to be frys five centres with the different fruit fillings fab :)

[The Low Country]

I remember Applause but I wasn't a great fan. As far as bringing back sweets I have a never ending list :-) here are just a few:- Mint cracknell, Golden cup, Milk & plain chocolate sandwich bars, pink panther, ice breaker everlasting toffee, the list goes on and on............

[leggingslover]

I could add a few to my list as well. I agree with you on golden cup. I would bring back vice versas,texan bars,tropicool ice poles etc etc.....

[sixtyten]

What are Vice Versas?
my five would be.. Golden Cup
Trebor Blobs
Trebor Mints
Texan
Banjo

[leggingslover]

Vice versas were like minstrels they had a mixture of white chocolate in a milk chocolate shell and milk chocolate in a white chocolate shell think they may have been made by nestle

[sixtyten]

Oh yes.. any info on those suggests they were a year 2000+ item

[memoman]

Texan came back last year?But might have been for a limited run.Wispas have been back quite a while gold wispa been back too.

[sixtyten]

Here we go again..
Texan came back in 2005!! for a limited run.. dosn't time fly ;)

[kazboot]

Coffee Walnut Whips and Opal Mints!

[darren]

yeah would love starbars to come back/
one of my faves.

others i love are wispa great its back.
remember applause was it not in a red or orange wrapper.

[sixtyten]

?? Where you from?
Star Bars have never stopped being sold, you can get them everywhere :confused:

[n3llyo]

i cant get star bars for love or money round my way not even my local tescos sell them i thought they been discontinued untill my daughter brought me some when she visited home last christmas now she has to send me a few every couple of weeks

I adore Star Bars ;)

im from northern ireland.:D:D
although we have a corner shop which been around since i was born and thats 35 yrs ago.
it still stocks tons of sweets behind the counter in big clear plastic tubs.
things like brandy balls,clove rock,etc etc..

[sixtyten]

Odd, as Wikipedia mentions its made by Cadburys Ireland.
Its one of those bars you can always find in every shop

[darren]

well it does not stock it in my local shops.
well not the big supermarkets that ive seen.
maybe i have not looked carefully enough.

[matt]

In addition to those already mentioned, I used to love those milk teeth sweets that recently ceased to exist. Also, as mentioned in other forum discussions, Cadbury Fuse bars were great.

Other than that, I would love to bring back the confectionery of old that didn't come in the all-in-one plastic rubbish we get nowadays. I am still very sad that I cannot get Cadbury Dairy Milk and, in particular, Fruit & Nut bars in the foil and paper packaging I grew up with. Thank god Nestle saw sense on the two-finger Kit Kat.

Matthew

[Trickyvee]

Fuse was my favourite chocolate bar! I was gutted when they stopped making them. I also miss Terry's Waifer. Much more substantial and better tasting than a kitkat.

[darren]

what are members favourite chocolate bars and sweets from the past.
im sure there will be some good ones here.

cheers darren.

[stuckinthe80's]

Splicer is one of my all time favourites. I'd love 'em to be brought back. Also Cadbury's Sunfruits. This is a little known bar from the 80's that I loved!! Got a picture of one somewhere! Shame I aint got a bar though :)
Oh and Sherbert Shandy Lollies!

[Krazy]

Frys 5 Centres. mmmm and Milk Tray that came in a bar, I loved the lime.

[Trickyvee]

Fuse and Cabana bars. They bring back something rubbish like Wispa and stop Fuse. NO!

[stuckinthe80's]

Frys 5 Centres. mmmm and Milk Tray that came in a bar, I loved the lime.

Mmmmmm the lime ones were lovely!!!!

[Austin Maxi]

remember applause was it not in a red or orange wrapper.

If I remember correctly, Applause came in brown wrappers.

Then there were those odd 'Secret' bars, chocolate mousse wrapped in strands of chocolate supported in a cardboard tray. Strange but nice.

I used to enjoy the occasional Cadbury's Spira, even though it was just milk chocolate.

Dime Bars are still sold around by where I live. I am sure I had one a few months ago, but I could be mistaken.

[ClaudineJones]

Dime Bars are still sold around by where I live. I am sure I had one a few months ago, but I could be mistaken.
I rediscovered them a few weeks ago (Sainsbury's) and currently have about 16 in my cupboard - just in case they try to take them away from me again. They're called Daim now.

[branny]

Dime Bars are still sold around by where I live. I am sure I had one a few months ago, but I could be mistaken.

Some Ikea stores still sell them (the one's that have the food store section like Warrington). They are under a different name but the wrapper is unmistakable.

[stuckinthe80's]

You can also get bars of 'Milka' chocolate with dime bar bits in from most supermarkets. Not the same but quite near!

[Austin Maxi]

Some supermarkets also do 'Dime' or 'Daim' cookies, big round cookies with bits of Dime bar in them. I'm reminded of the old Harry Enfield advert for Dime bars in the early '90s - "That bloke's a nutter!"

[ayrshireman]

Fuse and Cabana bars. They bring back something rubbish like Wispa and stop Fuse. NO!



Oi!. Some of us here like the Wispa.

Agree though about the Cabana. Loved that bar.

[Trickyvee]

Why the Wispa was only Cadbury's half-baked attempt to compete with the mighty Aero. They had to give it titchy bubbles so it was different enough and I was never swayed. In the world of chocolate and bubbles, Aeros rule! Mind you, nothing can hold a candle to a Flake.

[darren]

i never even seen the bubbles in wispa.

but why when they brought wispa back did they not bring other sweets back.

and at least its exactly the same as it was both in name and what its like.
maybe w should start a petition to see what we what brought back and then contact them.
bring back 5 centres and the proper star bar and boost.
anf get snickers made marathon again.

why was its name changed anyone know.

[stuckinthe80's]

Wispa may be the same taste and texture but its no where near the same size! Wispa's used to be nearly twice as thick as they are now when first launched in the North East in 1981! I remember them well!

I used to enjoy the occasional Cadbury's Snowflake, which came out at the end of the '90s. White chocolate Flake wrapped in milk chocolate, a bit like a Galaxy Ripple, but with white chocolate inside. I don't know why they disappeared.

[Trickyvee]

i never even seen the bubbles in wispa. .

You need a magnifying glass. The whole bar is bubbles, but they are so tiny they go unnoticed.

As for snowflakes, I can't think of them without picturing Anthea Turner scoffing them at her wedding and having the photos all over OK magazine. My God :eek:.

Anybody remember Cadbury's Dream bars? They were white chocolate. Not sure if you can still get them. They weren't as nice as Milky Bar chocolate.

[darren]

yes i see cadburys dream bars in my local shop.

must admit i do like them too much.
and yes they still have there proper name.

They definitely need to bring back the original coconut Boosts in the red wrapper - what was different about old Star Bars to the current ones? I can't remember

i think the original star bars where flat with coloured stars on them.
maybe im thinking of something else but i think im right.

You must be thinking of something else!

Talking about wrappers with stars has got me thinking about milky ways. One thing I remember was that the usual wrapper was blue with white stars, but a couple of times I had a bar that was white with blue stars. Does anyone know if these were a different type of milky way or whether it was just a variation in the wrapper?

I remember the multi-bagged fun-size Milky Ways in the 1980s had white & blue wrappers, & wondered why they were different to the normal bars.

It must have been them that I had.

I remember Milky Way wrappers being white. I'm sure they were white before they were blue.

Loved Cadbury's Strollers - chocolate balls with caramel centres, poss early 90's.
Sherbet Shandies - hard sherbet on a stick, but crumbled in your mouth when you bit into it, came in strawbery and lemon flavours.
Rainbow sherbet - tasted divine when all mixed together.
Cadbury's Caramel - in it's original 80's format of wide chunks, it doesn't even taste the same :0(
Double decker - although I have no complaints of the bar itself, as it seems larger now than what I remember from the 80's, they should bring back the original 'decker bus' packaging.

I used to like Strollers. I recall that the song 'Wonderful Life' by Black was used in the TV ads for them.

There seemed to be a lot of new sweets launched in the late 1980s - early 1990s, many of which didn't last for more than a few years.

Time Out is one that did catch on, for years I had a cup with the original logo on (which came with an easter egg), until a friend of the family managed to break it.
