Defunct sweets?

Re: Defunct sweets?

There is a picture of a Welcome bar wrapper here...though it is from Cadburys Ireland. It sounds like your description so maybe it's the same thing.

Thanks - Yes I think that could well have been it - the contents description, and the pre-decimal price, means it could have been around 1969/1970 which ties in with my memories. I think the Welcome bar must have had the Milky Way type filling. My mum love both of them.

Re: Defunct sweets?

Sorry if this have been mentioned previously (I've only gone through 50 out of the 109 pages). Does anyone remember a Rhumba (or Rumbar?). Would have been early 70's when my mum used to send me to the corner shop to buy them - like an adult Milky Way with rum (and possibly raisin?) flavour inside. Also, around the same time, was a Welcome bar which she liked - possibly from Cadbury's and short lived but can't remember the flavour.

Ooh pyramint. They were lovely, like a big after eight.

Used to be made in York. Now made in Sweden, Belgium, Poland or Slovakia.

Re: Defunct sweets?

This has most probably been mentioned already, but seeing there are 109 pages, I thought instead of reading through, which would take me absolute ages I would just mention Bar 6. It was in an orange paper and was a bit like a Kit Kat.

Re: Defunct sweets?

Here is a challenge for someone, unless it is already on here. Anyone remember Duets? They had two bars , similar to Bountys, they were in pink and white wrapping, the bar was a very soft nougat with a soft toffee centre. These where for sale late 60s to early 70s. I think they were made my Mars, but not too sure on that. They were scrumptious.

I dont know whether this has been mentioned on this thread, as there are way to many posts to read through, but I used to like Pyramints. They were out in the 80s. They where a pyramid shape, dark chocolate, with a soft pale green mint creme inside. Very disapointed that the chocolate company (which by the way, I cant remember who) decided to discontinue the line.

i found an ad for them.
it was narrated by kenneth williams and there was a mummy holding the pyramint.
it was in a green and black shaped pyramid box.
