Hi, I remember Carousel chocolates. They had 'candies' in there too. I think they were made by Terry's or Rowntrees. The WEEKEND menu makes me think that the contents of Carousel were very similar. That WEEKEND ad is great!!!! A true retro hit!!!

Corousel was made by Terrys and im sure Weekend was made by Rowntrees.

Yeah I think Carousel was made by terry's. I seem to remember that it had a strawberry candy similar to the Weekend lime one. I loved Carousel chocs. I used to buy them every now and again from Woolworths with me pocket money!

Some more Terrys products i remeber are.

Logger bars.

Nut cracker...shape of a large nut , two halves filled with caramel and a hazlenut inside.

Pyramints...Pyramid shaped with a mint fondant, and had a tendency to leak and was in a card wrapper.

Waifa...Two bar , came in plain and milk and did a mint one for a short time, could never compete with Kit Kat

Peppermints, small peppermint round tablets made with peppermint oil and came in a cute little box with a picture of a peppermint plant on the front.

Pastilles, came in a tube and had two flavours, one was blackcurrent not sure what the the other flavour was lemon and lime in think.

Take two bars, two small bars of marzipan and there was another flavour again not sure but it was white in texture.

Harlequin, a chocolate selection, came in a roses type box and alsoin tins.

Terrys chocolate ginger, stem ginger covered in plain chocolate, came in a box...black red and gold box i think.

Hazlenut whirls ,Milk chocolate swirl with a whole hazlenut inside, again in a box like harlequin.

Sugared Almonds...one of a favourite of mine....pastle coloured hard shells oval in shape with an almond inside.

Now there was neopolitans...but they did some with a soft centre...not sure what these where called.

Im sure ill think of some more...hope these bring back some memories.

YouTube - TVS adverts (1986) #2

There's a Pyramint ad amongst this little 'treasure trove'. Leslie Phillips and Kenneth Williams in one ad!

Looks horrible though - and probably a long way from the high class image they must have wanted.

Weren't Pyramints ridiculously expensive at the time? Sure I tried one, but not sure if I liked it or not. Certainly the price seemed to come into a few things not being picked up back then - essentially, there would have been no way on God's Earth that a Pyramint would have been purchased when the ever faithful Terry's Chocolate Orange would be sitting nearby.

Yay! Knew you'd find it Heather.

Wouldn't it be great to find a pic of the contents for a big nostalgia trip.
