Defunct sweets?

Re: Defunct sweets?

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.

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.
