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?

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.

Loved Cadbury's Strollers - chocolate balls with caramel centres, poss early 90's.

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

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.

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