Modern Victory Vs are rubbish. They're not as strong and they're smaller.
The local independent chemist sells them. It also sells tooth-powder and plastic rain bonnets for old ladies to protect their shampoo and sets. They come with a free tartan trolley bag

coconut boost bars.
+1 on the proper double deckers with the solid base.
Also jelly tots are no longer jelly. They are made from modified starch and no longer have gelatine in them.

Don't waste your pucker on some all day sucker
And don't try a toffee or cream
If you seek perfection in sugar confection
Well there's something new on the scene
A mouth full of cheer
A sweet without peer
A musical morsel supreme!
Toot Sweets!

The candies you whistle, the whistles you eat.

Irn Bru bars...my teeth are hurting just thinking about them
The 'candy' necklaces with sweets on a bit of elastic were great too, although not so much for eating but for classroom warfare...i could ping them with deadly accuracy

Bar Six anybody? Alternative Kit Kats in reality
Also those dark choc bars with green crystally stringy mint stuff inside - cant remember the name tho' - possibly made by Frys.And an interesting story for you -
My Dad worked for Trebors when they invented Cool mints. We always had a garage full of sweets and the local kids used to pop in regularly to load up. The Cool Mints went down a storm one weekend with them. On Monday at school half the class were missing. Cool Mints now have a warning about the laxative effect if you eat too many.Posted 1 year ago # -

Texan Bar.......My Granny worked at the nestle factory in castleford - every Xmas we got a shoe box filled with the 'misshapes'. I remember one year i got a texan bar that was actually 8 or 10 all stuck together with the chocolate on the outside only - must have kept me going until easter.
The bar has taken on legendary satus in the family, growing bigger and tastier with each telling! Also got a pontefract cake the size of a plate once too.
happy days.
