Hmm, on the subject of things not tasting the same ... some might say that your taste buds change over time e.g. when I was a kid i hated coffee and lager, but now 'hey presto!' I love em. I think things are different nowadays though what with restrictions on E numbers and flavourings and all that other bad stuff that made our beloved sweets taste so good.

I had some palma violets the other day and they tasted the same as ever ... god awful!

I used to hate coffee when I was a kid and now I love it... always liked lager tho! lol I used to buy coffee cremes by the bucket load thats how mad about it I am! Everyone always gives me the coffee ones in boxes of chocs... no one else seems to like them.

Parma violets taste of perfume, they are terrible. I can't think why I ate them when I was a kid. Same as pear drops. I used to like them but now they turn my stomach! And rice paper... what was that about??? I ate sheets of it from the sweet shop and now the thought makes me feel sick.

I wish they still made Aztec bars Half milk chocolate on top and Dark below. Also Nutty Bars which were a stick of caramel covered in peanuts.

Star Bars are now called 'Moro Peanut' or 'Peanut Moro', having started out as 'Nunch' - the first product to have three different names ?
Does anyone remember perfumed breath-freshening sweets called Aromatics ?

Does anyone remember the mint pyramid in the late eighties/early nineties. ?
Think it was made by After Eight.Had the same type of filling.
Used to come in a cardboard wrapper.

Also about 10 years ago a chocolate bar called Secret, made by nestle.
Had a shredded wheat effect chocolate cage with a mallow inside, like in a walnut whip.
My god, they were gorgeous.

Do any of you remember "Dino'SOUR'Eggs" they were a bit like an enormous gob stopper it came in it's own little box and took you an age to suck it till u could get to the point where you could crack it with your teeth, they sold for about 10p each in the mid 80's.
