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

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.

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 🥴)

The last lot I bought were sweetener free (I don't buy anything apart from toothpaste with artificial sweeteners in)

No sorbitol in these ones

Old English Spangles.

Walters potato puffs and also bags of broken crisps in a standard size bag but crammed absolutely full for 6d.

Crusha Lime was awesome. They bought it back a few years ago as a limited edition and when I emailed them they said no plans on bringing it back 😢 

Dentyne cinnamon were lush 

ice cream chewits 

Horlicks sweets ! My Nan used to make them at the Horlicks factory in Slough 

Was never big on choc as a child as my Nan lived within spitting distance of Mars factory and the smell used to make you feel sick after a while

Oooh flying saucers.  It's no wonder my teeth were bad as a child.  Although my favourites are still orange smarties.  As for the new blue ones well words fail me, as they certainly do.

Fuse and nuts about caramel - obvs!

ChampChump

Proper sugar shrimps (the modern ones are nothing like, presuambly being 'better' for us/planet), Aztec bars with raisins, Cabana with the cherries and Bar Six (thank you above for reminding me of those last two).  Prices though...sixpence, maybe, although I suspect not.  

M&S used to make a large caramel and chocolate tart that was a sugar junkie's dream.  I miss it.

I loved the fruit Spangles but thought the Old English ones were  . I don’t remember how much they cost but probably 3d/4d?   I loved fruit salad chews, I think they were 4 for 1d.  I can remember getting my 6d pocket money on a Saturday and trotting off to the local sweet shop with my best friend next door.  You could buy a lot for 6d in those days

And the things I'd do for a lemonade sparkle ice lolly.
