Re: Defunct sweets?

I seem to remember one called Gorgon, which was like a WHAM bar but green with grey bits in it?

My Mum didn't like me eating them, due to the possible high level of E numbers, & what appeared to be grit in it.

There was an tropical bar in the same range, mango flavor IIRC. One of my friends managed to get some stuck in a carpet at his house!

Lovely thread. Does anyone remember Cadbury's Marble? Sorry if this has been mentioned already - I am new to this!

Re: Defunct sweets?

Does anyone remember Logger bars? The advert had a bloke walking round in the woods with music made from sounds around and I think character animals making noises too. I'm glad to see others remember Secret (totally forgot the name of that til I saw this thread), Bitz, the fact that there were three colours of star bar wrapper before and Pyramints. I also remember a few other things.. Tom and Jerry chews that had like pink and brown colours in them. Some kind of solid toffee bar in a foil container that I think was called Bullion. A chocolate bar that had some kind of apricot flavour, i think the wrapper may have been white maybe. Milka bars, (not the flat slabs) especially the praline one that I used to love with the purple wrappers (Before Kraft takeover, about 20 years ago). I only mention these because I haven't seen them on this really long thread. (I might have missed them if they were, sorry). I have more but maybe I'll mention them later Great Forum, only found it from a google search and glad to see others remember when there was some variety on the confectionery market. EDIT: This thread looks run together after I posted it because lines get removed, sorry about that.

Re: Defunct sweets?

When I was a boy it only came in boxes, as did most packet mixes

Re: Defunct sweets?

Never knew Angel Delight came in a box. I wonder how old that one is? it's probably still edible thanks to all of those preservatives! The packaging does explain why I always wanted my Angel Delight in a wine glass. A quick search has revealed that this was the usual receptacle on packets and adverts. Now there's just a cartoon splodge but when I make it nowadays I still plop it into wine glasses. I couldn't even remember that this was once on the packaging. Powerful imagery!
