  • we both liked TOPICS , CHOCOLATE COVERED NOUGAT WITH HAZELNUTS INSIDE, yummy, alas, no more, although Aldi do a similar one but no hazelnuts
  • Bring back a Fry's 5 Centres or a Marathon (none of this Snickers nonsense). I also enjoyed Tooty Frooties, Opal Fruits (never bought when they became Starburst), Polo Fruits, Bazookas and the wee cloth bag with chunks of gum which I think were called Golden Nuggets.  As a luxury item, I do have memories of my dad occasionally coming home from work with a Milk Tray bar to share. That was a real treat, one bar shaped with the strawberry cream, orange cream, caramel keg and others from a box of chocs. Whilst on the subject of 'Treats', we should have them back too, M&M peanuts just don't taste the same.

    Ah yes, Gypsy Creams, I liked those (assuming you are talking about the biscuit). On the subject of biscuits, I would bring back a McVities Sport and a Bandit

    i absolutely loved the Fuse bar - i walked to the shop after parking my car at home (even tho the shop was on the route) to justify the calories by those burned walking uphill !!!

    Chipmunk ? bovril crisps after swimming over 50 years ago.
    Oh aye bovril crisps! Yum. Also - beef Frisps..  mmmmm :yum: 
    I removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.

    They all seem to be shrinking out of existence.
  • Does anyone remember 'double agents'.  A boiled sweet with a soft centre.  Lime with chocolate was lovely, and so was strawberry and cream. Yum!
  • Bring back Aztec bars Cadbury's, you know it makes sense.
  • In the mid/late 80s Cadburys Boost used to have a coconut incarnation (in fact, it may well have originally been coconut, then joined by the caramel biscuit Boost we know yoday, then the cara-biscuit usurped the coconut version). 

    All I know for sure is that a) they were delicious, b) they came in a red wrapper, and c) I've missed them for decades!  Reckon they probably cost 20p, and were a proper size, not this nonsense you get these days where you can squeeze two inches of thin air at either end of the packet and on opening find a bitesize snack that's gone in a blink of an eye...much like our youths!
  • Dark chocolate Bounty we miss you! 
  • I've never ever heard of a Caramac until last weeks press reports.
