Couldn't get any of those when I was a kid (wartime rationing). I was about 7 or 8 before I knew the luxury of a Penguin. They were threepence each & much bigger.
Golly.I can remember when sweets came off ration and I went across Lordship Lane very,very young and buying a stick of barley sugar at Dickey Bird's sweet shop.How I didn't get run over I shall never know!!!!
Rich Tea and Plain digestives are a bit like wet weather tyres on an F1 racing car. Absolutely useless when dry but are tops when wet. Top of the league for dunking. Which club? Orange or raisin and biscuit? And where is Kit Kat on your list?
Jammy Dodgers deserve a mention - but lower mid table for me. Anyone remember any other chocolate coated ones? I forgot Drifter and Waifa. There were also biscuits called Rondello in the '70s, but I can't remember them. Kit Kat should really be included with chocolate bars - speaking of which: First Division 1. Twix 2. Bounty 3. Kit Kat 4. Flake 5. Crunchie 6. Fruit & Nut 7. Yorkie 8. Munchies 9. Curlywurly 10. Rolo 11. Aero 12. Maltesers 13. Double Decker 14. Marathan 15. Mars 16. Wispa 17. Turkish Delight 18. Smarties 19. Caramel 20. Spiro 21. Ripple 22. Buttons Second Division 1. Old Jamaica 2. Topic 3. Picnic 4. Dairy Milk 5. Lion Bar 6. Whole Nut 7. Nutty 8. Galaxy Bar 9. Toffee Crisp 10. Cabana 11. Caramac 12. Texan 13. Fry's Chocolate Cream 14. Milky Way 15. Dairy Crunch 16. Banjo 17. Star Bar 18. Milky Bar 19. Bitz 20. Golden Cup OMG, I must be bored. What about Boost, Amazin Raisin, Bar Six, Dime, Ruffle, Snack, M&Ms, Mint Cracknel and Terry's Chocolate Orange ? The British like chocolate!
Star Bar in division 2?! Jeez Luke, you're having a MARE!! What about a boost? (for those who aren't keen on peanut and chocolate?) - that's pretty much the same as a star bar and should definitely be in the first division! No mention of a chomp either! Galaxy Caramel?
As Roo said, a poor contribution. For instance you missed this star from the 70s please log in to view this image Also Curly Wurly and Turkish Delight are league 2 level at best
Well done Stoke.I had to go on the Arsenal board to laugh at them for their retorts last week.What comes around,comes around. I see manager Pardew was watching the Vert incident and got in a naughty head butt on the Hull Player!Never seen that before.I wonder what the FA will do to a head butting manager? Give him a wrestling contract?
Pardew should be sacked and kicked out of the league, best thing that could happen to Newcastle in a long time!

"OMG, I must be bored." How in hell did you remember Old Jamaica, Cabana and Nutty bars !!?? You have just unlocked my 70s kid, as I have just recalled Freddo bars. Jamesons Raspberry Ruffles (bias here as their factory was just up the road from me at Willoboughy Lane / Brantwood Rd - some folks on my estate worked there too) ??
Old Jamaica's still going I think. Cabana's were like bounty inside but had pieces of dried fruit attached, which wasn't pleasant and Nutty bars had the nuts on the outside - so both were memorable. When you look at the list, most of the favourites are still going strong. As are Freddos! I also forgot Treets, Poppets, Toblerone, Fudge, 5-4-3-2-1 and Mintola!
Some kids in my time used to say Cabana looked like something that had passed thru a parrot. I used to like Poppets. Nutty bars were basically a pile of peanuts thrown at a stick of molten toffee. So strange that in a decade of general industrial uselessness and lack of creativity, the 70s choccy industry was anything but. If only they could have had Cadburys building cars and planes.
