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!

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

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
