Defunct sweets?

[darren]

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.

boy i did love them.
bound to be able to get them somwhere.
im goona try and find out.

here it is

...then became Peanut Boost, then back to good old Star Bar again. I Hope they don't change it to Moro or whatever they call it in Ireland.

That's the one!

Not exactly sweets - but I was reminded of Humphries not long ago - never had them but I think they were straws full of sweet powder that turned milk into milkshake as you drank it and had some sort of mock-sinister adverts.

You used to be able to get mint creme eggs as well as ordinary ones.

And does anyone remember a candy stick they used to sell loose in sweet shops - about 3 inches long, in a bright coloured fruit flavour or chocolate flavour - the chocolate ones were delicious - like drinking chocolate.

I remember Cabana bars, and I also remember a chocolate bar called United, which had bits of sugar candy in the chocolate. There was also one called Bandit, the same size and shape.

Also remember a bar called Troeffel - it had an advert of cartoon Vikings in a longboat singing about Troeffel bars to two jooined-together tunes from the Peer Gynt suite: "Life would be oeful if we had no Troeffel; our days would be gloomy and nights would be glum - yum, yum, yum, yum! Eat a Troeffel bar today! It will chase blues away! Happy Vikings on our way now we have Troeffel bar - Ja!"

(Goes and hides in embarrassment).

Also remember Refreshers which were round, quite fizzy sweets in different colours which came in a tube (not the chews that are now called Refreshers). There was an advert for them with a kid with a toy flying saucer and his mum saying he'd be back home soon because they didn't sell Refreshers on Jupiter.
