Defunct sweets?

Re: Defunct sweets?

Was in a cadbury factory shop yesterday and they had some great Robert Opie/Cadbury stuff in there. I bought a mug covered in pics of long gone Cadbury wrappers. There was also a storage tin that looked great!

Just picked up a copy. It's twice as thick as TV Cream Toys by the same author (Steve Berry) which I didn't expect.

Will try to pick up my copy today from a local Waterstones.

Re: Defunct sweets?

Its great. I only have one small gripe.
Some (not all) of the pics used (and I have confirmed this with the authors) are CGI mockups, E.G there is a picture of a Count Dracula's Secret, in its wrapper, with lolly sticking out, but the stick is wooden, not the plastic "Trace-a-Face" that's mentioned on the pack.
Still, it gives people an idea what they used to look like

Pedantic

Re: Defunct sweets?

Thanks for the info Jason. Will be picking up a copy tomorrow

Re: Defunct sweets?

New to me, but will certainly seek it out

How could I resist a book with Horror Bags, Cresta & Pacers on the front cover!

Looks like a treasure trove of goodies inside

Cadbury's Silk

Wow Sixty! I'd genuinely forgotten about this. I don't recall it tasting like 'silk' as suggested by another member although I remember the lovely strawberry flavoured centre. Wasn't around for long I don't think. Thanks for the memory!
