Re: Cadbury's Skippy

Not sure when they were discontinued but the promotional Natwest offer refers to closing date in 1985

In that case I probably did have one. Shame I can't remember what it was like.

Re: Cadbury's Skippy

Does sound Driftery, but I seem to think I might have had one of these at some point, unless it was something else with a similar wrapper. When were they discontinued?

Re: Cadbury's Skippy

birds on biscuits is too bizarre?

I only went for "rather bizarre": when have you ever seen a bird on a biscuit for real?
(quite cute though the sculptures are...)

Re: Cadbury's Skippy

Yes, pink wafer fingers. Haven't seen them for a fair while, but that's probably because I'd never buy them for myself.
I recall them mainly in biscuit assortments, when the were usually among the last taken.

Probably late 60's, but could have been a repeat in the early 70's: I remember eating a Skippy while watching Skippy (the bush kangaroo) on TV.

Re: Cadbury's Skippy

Don't remember trying one of these. Sounds like half a Drifter though.

Re: Cadbury's Skippy

I remember those. I much preferred them to other wafer-based treats (such as those pink fingers...) as they had a lot more substance and it felt like you were really eating something.

Re: Cadbury's Skippy
