Anyone else remember chocolate ciggies?

 

I miss the milk tray Bar

 

Yeah forgot about those things

 

... and not forgetting this bad boy

 

I was also partial to a fizzy fountain ...

 

Oh yes, and the candy ones with the pink ends too.

 

****ing hell you're old. Looks like a poster from the wild west.

 

Texan bars were sweet

 

I still buy them. You can buy a decent bag full of black jacks and fruit salads for a quid in all good Co-ops my man.

Few others you can get in there are Chewitts.... Sours
Chewitts and Opal Fruit both had their place. Sometimes you want the soft exotic juicy flavours of OF, sometimes the harder chewy juicy C's.

Fruit Pastels (blackcurrant my fave) were the bollox. But a special mention to Tutti Frutti's. Remember those? Square shaped, hard casing. I used to dash about 6/7 in my mouth at a time and just let the flavour mix in the mouth. Followed with a mouthful of Irn Bru or Tizer.

 

Chocolates - Marathon, Twix, Twirl, Bourneville, Yorkie mthrfcker.

But in recent years if I want late night munchies it's Giant Chocolate Buttons, Chocolate Fingers, Maltesers, Revels, Penguins.

 

Chewits and tooti fruiti's, how the **** did i forget them

 

I only got into Bourneville at around 11 (taste bud change), also so got into Old Jamacie at the same time.

 

Mate I don't remember them. Just had to google. But google saying they're coming back so gonna try it.

Chocolates that have definitely changed ingredients since back in the day? Milky Way imo. Amazing when I was a kid with all its additives. Tastes like **** now.
I reckon Picnic has been tampered with.

Penguins are ****e like a massive Bourbon...rather waste the calories on sumt else...maybe a Cadbury’s chocolate mini roll or 4

 

Penguins with a cuppa is ace anytime. Either that or Kitkats. Or a Club. Or Chocolate Fingers <------ fckers changed the recipe on that too btw - ****s.

 

Cadbury's minrolls are lovely but proper guilt trip after 3 or 4. Cadbury's come up with some great ideas tbf.

 

titChy though really when y think about it


Not even equivelant to one big slice of choc fudge cake

 

Slice of Thorntons Chocolate Cake?

Talking of cake type things did you ever have those jam steam puddings that used to come in a tin? My mum used to give us those. They were so fcking good.

And then there was Mr Kiplings.

 

you still get them I think...tried them now n again

Got bare Kipling in cupboard...I like the lemon slices
