Posted: 2/9/2007 1:14:51 PM | What is the sweet/chocolate bar u most miss? And what is your favourite one?
I have to say i miss the old TEXAS bar. Anyone remember that one?
I did actually find a sweet shop on net, that delivers the old sweets. They had these bars in stock. But, soon as they advertised and i went to order. They had gone!! Typical!! lol
I love Maltesers and Crunchies :-) | |

Does anyone remember the nutty bar
The only way to explain it is toffee in a long shape like a dog turd, rolled in nuts??
It was in a clear brown wrapper.
Also those jelly sweets called larger tops
Look at the website aquaterof - they do loads of old stylie sweets | |

Posted: 2/9/2007 3:38:52 PM | | You can still get flying saucers. I miss those little things that literally used to explode in your mouth. I bought some kola kubes and apple drops the other week. i preferred pineapple chunks though personally. Although I'd love some of those of mouth poppy things (not for me, it would be funny as hell to see someones expression with a mouthful of those) I wish I could remember the name. | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 4:22:28 AM | | Imps. horrid little black things that were the sweet of chice to stop anyone else wanting em! Aztec bars. Icebreaker chocalte bars that did taste 'cool'. Parma Violets, go on admit that you really did like eating sweet perfume! As for the Texan bar ....'You wouldn't fire a man till he'd finished his Texan bar would you?' Loads more that I cant stop thinking about now, DOH! And yes I remember all the adverts too | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 5:33:49 AM | I seem to remeber a tooth cames out of a Texas bar - seriously hardcore that one.
I havent had any of that crack cocaine stuff that fizzes on your tongue. Yeah - it's wierd how you stop having some sweets.
I also use to have club biscuits and nibble all the chocolate off first - are they still around? Them and Uniteds.
My grandad used to work for Rowntree, and we used to get loads and loads of off-cuts - stuff like Y shaped Lion bars and khaki smarties. Awesome.

I used to like Lion bars, they were so big when they first came out and now I need 2!
Theres a shop called cybercandy in Brighton, has a website too, and it has all the old fashioned sweets and also sweets from outside the UK. | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 5:50:09 AM | Definitely Pacers. They were lovely and everyone I mention them to loved them so why oh why did they disappear.
You can still get flying saucers but they're not as good any more. Typical. | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 5:57:52 AM | I'm not sure of the name of them but i am think they were called Rizzla's...............
Come to think of it they were red, and sort of strippy..........just like a packet of Rizzla papers ...................oh cummon! i only know this because i know someone who smokes rolled fags! 
I also used to love pineapple chunks and Bon, bons. Used to buy them by the quarter.
Wham bars! Oh they were so sour... used to love them tho.
Oh and what about that candy stuff that used to pop when u put it in your mouth? | |
