Yes I remember mint maltesers! I sent an email to the malteser web site for information on them but they only confirmed that they sold them in the 60s.

Re: Defunct sweets?

Definitely remember the Bitz bars myself and absolutely LOVED them when they were last around !! Don`t you think that the Matchmakers available today (in the Orange and Mint flavours) are just the old Bitz bars divided up into little sticks ?!?!?!?! ......... they are definitely the closest thing to the Bitz which is available today !! ...... and the Mint ones are ALWAYS on my Christmas List !!! Leaving all of this to one side, though, my absolute favourite sweet of all-time has to be the crisp, papery, sherbetty Flying Saucer and I bought a HUGE drum full all for myself recently from a site I found which specialises in retro sweets.

Yes, I would probably agree with that, not exactly the same as Bitz, but the closest thing you can get in the UK.

Hope you don't mind me asking does this book (The Great British Tuckshop) mention chocs/sweets from 70/80/90's? Is it more picture based or do they write about the chocolate? Is the Banjo by Mars in it?

I first saw these in infant school, our Head Teacher gave them as a reward. I remember standing there thinking how special they looked. I loved them, but think I only ever received two maybe three.

Hope they were worth the Christmas treat. Which reminds me I want to buy them for Christmas as they have made a return! I think they are called Foiled Ice Cups they give you a cold feeling (in a good way) lol.
