Yes I remember mint maltesers! I sent an email to the malteser web site for information on them but they only confirmed that they sold them in the 60s.

Re: Defunct sweets?

Thats the sweets I was trying to recall the other day that were simular to double agents.They were called mummies.I can remember the creepy stories on the inside of the wrapper and used to collect them at one stage.I think I must of broke more then one tooth on them,and can recall a few visits to the dentist as I used to crunch the things which were like bullets.But when you got into them the centers were sort of soft depending on how long you sucked the things before crunching them.I think it must of been sometime around 1979-1981 that I had this thing for mummies.Don't remember them at all after that time.

It was a golden cup, they came in 2 different sizes the big bar and the little one was like you say a finger dome shaped & had a foil wrapper. That was the only size i ever had enough money for :cry: lol
