    Trio.  Remember the Ad?  Sung to the tune of the Banana Boat Song.
    TrrrriiiO,  TrrrriiiO,  I want a Trio and I want one now.

    As a kid I always wanted a Trio, as an adult I will keep quiet.

    I have vivid memories of this being sung in the junior school playground! Can remember the treat, a bit like club bars in size but with a thick coat of caramel over the shortbread, and the bar divided into chunky thirds. Tastier than Twix IIRC.

    So much to read, so little time.

    There was a choccie bar I loved but can't remember the name. It came in 2s like a Twix but the paper sealed each bar separately and was perforated between them. Something like Take 2 but I googled and can't find that.

    Trios were sold in school tuck shop in the early 80s, along with a pink sherbety chew bar called Wham.
