To be honest, the Sub bar must have passed me by.

Anyone else remember Junglies? (apologies if they'vebeen mentioned earlier, but there's no way I'm wading through this ginormous thread to check! )

They were like Jelly Babies, but were jungle animals instead, they came in a cardboard cube with parts of animals on each face. You had to collect lots of cubes to make the pictures up, jigsaw style.

The sweets I miss are:

Texan Bar
Star Bar (used to love the adverts)
Marathon
Banjo

Do they still make chocolate coated Jelly Tots in the UK? I've never had them, but I would have to admit I reckon they'd taste a bit odd! ;-)

Re: Defunct sweets?

where peppermint patties not square green and quite hard.

They are round Darren, and quite big,
About the same size as the bottom of a drink can.

You can still get Peppermint Patties in the U.S., Canada, Australia & all kinds of other countries.
No idea why they don't do them in the U.K.
I've imported a few and they're still lovely.
However, for the ultimate mint chocolate, I absolutely love Junior Mints (unfortunately not available over here either).
