sweets chocolate and ice lollies

[lonesome crow]

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 used to love Mint Cracknels, the inside was like glass shards!
Some more childhood favourites:

Pink Panther bars (sickly strawberry-flavoured chocolate)
Sweet Tobacco (sugar-coated coconut)
Cadbury's Old Jamaica (rum & raisin chocolate bar)
Cadbury's Country Style (raisin & biscuit chocolate in a pink gingham-coloured wrapper)

And does anyone remember Blobs - a tube of boiled sweets that came in different flavours. (the only ones I can recall are strawberries and cream, fizzy cider and toffee apple!)

l loved Pink Panther bars and Blobs ( esp the toffee apple ones ) ! What became of :
Trebor Hunk Chews,
Olympic Balls ( bubblegums the size of a tennis ball ), or
licorice pipes ?

Hi!
Do you remember Trello bars - they were about 10p and were pink and white mallow inside chocolate? and coconut Boosts - wonder why they stopped them? and hooray! Woolworths do the Orange Aero again!

CABANNA Bars - the chocolate bar with the taste of 'was it Jamaica or Paradice?' they were very tasty.

I am sure that every one knows about 'Caramac Bars' but gone are the days they used to be priced as 'What can you get with 5p, you can get a Caramac Bar, a piece for you & you' or the hugh bar at 10p, these are now 40p (INFLATION?)

i also loved cherry brandy ice lollies.

Re: sweets chocolate and ice lollies

Tab Clear? yep
I remember the original Tab in the purple/pink tin, loved it although it was rather synthetic tasting (due to an early version of nutrasweet in it).
I also recall a drink called "One Cal", a diet soda

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

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 !!
