Re: Whatever happened to:......

I used to like it as well back when lots of Italian things were trendy

A classic indeed - it is such a shame it wasn't as known of years later

I used to like the White with (I think it was Mint and like hundreds and thousand parts or similar). There was certainly a Lime Piece in that version or something similar I recall

KitKats wrapped in silver foil. Somehow they tasted nicer.

Cadbury's Strollers were something that came up in a conversation I had last week.

Gino Ginelli - that was ice cream and a half. Reminds me of the dessert we had after the Sunday dinner that we ate while we were watching Bullseye.

"Tutti-Fruitti what a cutie - take a Gino home with you" went the 1989 advert.

I am certain that Carte Dor was its replacement.

Butterball turkeys - I remember they used Bobby Vee's Rubber Ball song in the adverts. Must have been around 1985.

Bird's Ice Magic - might not have got the right product, but they were advertised with the Donavan song Mellow Yellow if that helps.

MacDougall's Milk Mate - it was supposed to turn milk into milkshakes, but I remember using it as a topping on ice cream.

Hi there, just joined a few minutes ago. Does anybody remember bar six wafer or moose, a dark centred milky way from the early 70's. I was 4 in 1972 and always bought, with my 2p my mum gave me for school, a moose for 1 and a 1/2p and a 1/2p highland caramel.

Yes, I remember Moose, though I thought it was called Super Moose, and had a cartoon moose on the wrapper. As you say, they were similar to Milky Way but a darker centre. I can remember them costing 2p from the shop down the road around 1973-ish

I remember Gino Ginelli was promoted a lot when Italian things were cool in the early 1990s, but faded away by the mid 90s.

I must get some then. ... The last time I had them was in Yorkshire, on the Settle-Carlisle Line, about 10 years ago, when a volunteer was going up and down the train selling them. It seemed to be part of the nostalgia. I used to love making 'sculptures' with the silver paper as a boy.

I have always assumed that the marketing person who dreamt that one up, couldn't tell the spellings of mousse and moose.

Italy had quite a high profile in 1990 due to hosting the World Cup that year and also winning the Eurovision Song Contest helped as well - I think that it helped with the sale of Italian (or indeed Italian-themed food) in the UK and elsewhere.

McCain Pizza Perfection had such a high profile around 1994 as well - certainly Tesco and Iceland sold them.

I seem to remember that the Milky way centre was a darker colour originally and changed in the 80's.
