Re: sweets chocolate and ice lollies

Does anyone remember a Tic-Tac type sweet called Calypsos or Calipsos.. I can't remember the name exactly?
They came in a plastic square box similar to Tic-tacs but not transparent. I recall a blue box a orange box and a red box but the flavours escape me. In fact I cant quite remember what the sweets looked like.

actually they might have been called 'Ipso' and the advert used the word calypso 'ipso calypso

Hi!
Do you remember Trello bars - they were about 10p and were pink and white mallow inside chocolate?

Oh yes! My ex worked for Ashbury confectionery in Corby - makers of the Trello bar. She used to bring home bin bags full of the damn things from the scrap line. The though of Trello now brings me out in a cold sweat

Thanks Daz!!

Use to like it back in the "olden" days, wonder if it will still have the same taste - used to be quite a strong taste if I remember rightly.

Re: sweets chocolate and ice lollies

Think of all the different types of sweets and chocolate and ice cream that you don't see anymore.

I use to love a chocolate bar called mint cracknel it tasted sort of like the new cadburys bar that has mint chips in only much better.

What happened to the big jubblies in summer you use to get?

I remember those, they were gorgeous. Why do they take these away from us!!

But have just done a search and there is a site called Sweetstall

http://www.sweetstall.com/acatalog/Mints.html

and they sell a chocolate bar produced by Nestle called Peppermint Crisp with a description of Mint Cracknell !!

Hi,
does anyone remember a peach soft drink called "Russian", sold during the 1970's or very early 80's. Sold in a small glass bottle, was really nice, then just disappeared from the shelves
