Secret bar. I remember them being really expensive compared to the mere mortals like Mars etc. And they can on a little cardboard tray if I remember correctly?

Cadbury's Fuse. That was a properly solid lump.

Oh yes... A bit like council estate tiffin....!

Would love to see the return of Cadbury Spira and Cadbury Shots.
Always seemed popular but dissapeared off the face of the planet.

Everyone of a certain age will say Texan bars.

When I was a child that was my weekly treat. A texan bar to eat while watching The Muppets.

I would have to say the original coconut boost...oh and Thorntons chocolates that were not stripped of all quality to meet the demands of selling in a supermarket.

Glees. Chewy fruity things that were in a purple packet and possibly a little like the Skittles are nowadays. I think they were made by Mars.

I remember them being yummy 🙂

Cadbury's Spira. Used to love them - I know it's just another form of Cadbury's chocolate, but somehow they tasted different - maybe it's the increased percentage of "surface chocolate" or something 😕

Splicers? No one seems to remember them!

In London there is a museum of packaging and it has all the old sweets that this guy collected.

Has Quattro can, top deck and funny feet yoghurts.

It's a really good visit

Another vote for Pacers here too. Must admit that modern versions of the old classics, just aren't the same, like rock hard fruit pastilles, that questioned the strength of your teeth with everyone you chewed and fruit gums that stuck forever in the roof of your mouth. Can you still get space dust?

Another shout for spangles. There was a special edition one that was a buttery beige colour. Awesome.

I'd be stunned if you can't get those still.
