Pink Panther Bar

[remember]

This was a strawberry flavoured pink candy bar made by Nestle. I used to use my pocket money on a Friday coming home from school to buy a Pink Panther bar and a Curly Wurly as my treats for the weekend. I used to love the strawberry creamy flavour of the Pink Panther! The Pink Panther bar was later changed to a mint flavour and went by the name 'Contessa'. The Pink Panther bar came in two types - one had the car embossed into the chocolate, whilst the other had the Pink Panther.

I used to LOVE these! I expect they were extremely sweet though. Bring them back!

Re: Pink Panther Bar

Ugh! I remember these too but they were just too sickly sweet for even a seasoned sweet-tooth like I was! Nice to see the packets again though.

These were well and truly off limits for me. Can't stand anything to do with strawberry.

Re: Pink Panther Bar

Yes darren it was pink, I think it was sold late 60's(going from the wrapper price) the 70's and on into the 80's

Re: Pink Panther Bar

Recently my wife gave me a bar of chocolate to feed my sweet tooth at work. It turned out to be white chocolate with strawberry bits inside. Whilst eating it I was traferred back in time.....what was that flavour ?? ..... yes, Pink Panther pink chocolate bars !
If you'd rather not try eating a 35 year bar from eBay then try these - 'Divine - white chocolate with strawberries'. Fair-trade too, which I'm sure the Pink Panther one's wern't

Re: Pink Panther Bar

Never liked them.I have to agree with other people when they say they were just too sickly sweet and the strawberry taste was rather off putting.I feel they were like Marmite,either you loved them or not.Still every shop seemed to sell them,and the wrappers do bring back images of a long lost youth spent in many a paper shop trying to choose which half penny sweets to buy to get the most out of your pocket money.
