It must have been them that I had.

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.

Re: Fave Sweeties,and sweets that should be brought back

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 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!

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.

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

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Re: Fave Sweeties,and sweets that should be brought back

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!"

[stuckinthe80's]

Re: Fave Sweeties,and sweets that should be brought back

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