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

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??

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

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

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

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.

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)!

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

Does anyone remember the Chocolate tools () 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.

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.

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!

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