Re: Defunct sweets?

Texans were never my favourite, although I DID enjoy them. When I was young, I preferred bars that were softer and Texans were hard until you got them going in your mouth.
Cabana bars were AWESOME! I still remember the theme-tune for the adverts. Also remember the adverts for Bounty bars? How come we never see THOSE anymore? They are still on sale, but you never see them ADVERTISED anymore.
My favourite bar-ad when I was young was for Trios. It was to the music of the song, "DAY-OH!" but they replaced it with "TRIO!" There was a cartoon girl who was causing havoc.
Oh and Bandit bars. "My Conchita had LEFT me. I can't STAND it." "You can't STAND it with Bandit, get your chin off the floor. New bigger bar Bandit is as big as a door. Try bigger bar Bandit it's a light-hearted bite, eat new bigger bar Bandit and you'll beeee alriiiiight." "My Conchita has come BACK! I can't STAND it." !You can't STAND it with Bandit...."

I remember Mars brought out a wafer with marshmallow inside called Sprint in the 70's. Sprint was unusual in that Mars predominately manufacture chocolate sweets

Wacky Taffy
Autodrop
Cadbury's Black Forest bar - chocolate with cherry pieces and a picture of a German castle on the wrapper
Cadbury's Royal Mint bar- chocolate with a mint filling and a picture of a crown on the wrapper
A vague memory of some chocolate eggs with a toffee and mallow filling
3ft long lengths of liquorice
Thin liquorice sticks coated in fizzy crystals - similar to the stuff on fizzy cola bottles
UFO sweets that were similar to Smarties - I think they were Turkish
Some imitation smarties that tasted revolting. They were sold at the now defunct Camelot theme park.

I remember some Pick & Mix "smarties" were really nasty tasting.

I don't remember those. But I am upset about the news that Kola Kubes are going to stop being made. They were my favourite childhood sweets of all time!

They are without a doubt one of the nicest out there from when we were kids.

Re: Defunct sweets?

I don't think kola cubes taste the same anymore, maybe it's just me. But I used to love going into the local shop and the man would get a white paper bag, and we could choose what we wanted from the jars behind the counter. Kola cubes, lemon sherbets, cough candy, rhubarb and custard, pear drops, and sweet peanuts etc. I've tasted a few newer versions, but they're not the same. Or maybe I'm just getting old ;-D

This is unfortunate new, especially with the recent boom in retro sweet shops.

They are still being made by several companies, it just that Taverners has stopped making them.
