Caramac's no more. Which discontinued sweets/choc would you bring back?

I'm sad to see Caramac is about to become a thing of the past, much like Fuse bars.

What discontinued food and drink items would you bring back if you could?

Bonus points if you remember how much they used to cost.

I used to love Bar Six in my teens, I bought one every morning on my way to school. Can't remember how much they were though!

I still buy space dust for baking.

Showing my age now - halfpenny spanishes.  That is the ones about 3 inches long & hard not chewable.  Eventually you could get them from Boots at 2.5p but I've not seen them since.  They did make your teeth an interesting colour though.

This thread is a real education - I've not heard of 50% of these.

In addition to the Marks & Spencer cheese puffs 9d from the early 70s, I would bring back the 'flying saucers', melting wafer in the mouth containing sherbet (can't remember how much ... too young ... or too old).

You can still buy flying saucers.

On a similar topic, here's an ongoing thread that's more widely about food that's hard to find these days: 

Which foods do you have trouble finding nowadays? (No call for it?? We still eat it!!)

(Thanks @sarah1972.)

Thanks @Emmia. I should have joined the little ones in the sweet shop.

But they don't contain the same sherbert, I think it's sorbitol now (which can have unfortunate digestive consequences if you eat too many 🥴)
