Risso Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 On a diet Al?! The forbidden fruit playing on your mind?! My vote goes to Kitkats, but only in their chunky form. Second place to biscuit and raisin Yorkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgrathsscar Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Must admit they all tempt me at times. I do miss Texan bars though, and Cabanas. My brother and I use to scrounge the programmes off the exec box ppl in the old trinity years ago and we once got a cabana each off of Don McLean who was watching a game in there once. Top man! Though I think he was an Arse fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Original Curly Wurly's - The ones that were about a foot long and all the chocolate dropped off when you first bit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgrathsscar Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Aah, but can you say with any certainty that they were that long Drat, or were WE just smaller? :? I have debated this very point with friends quite recently, as it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Can't beat a good old Lion bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3_Penny_Opera Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Never had Lion, Flakey, Bounty, Dairy Milk...and what ups with no Yorkie Bar? That was one of the first things I bought when staying in Notting Hill, from their corner convenience store...along with a tall Kronenberg, mind. To be honest, I've gone back to snickers. Sort of satisfies, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RantinRob Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I remember loads of chocs that were about when I was a kid that you can't get anymore, the aforementioned "Texan" was one. There was also: Mint Cracknell; Aztec; Summit; Swisskit; T-Bar; Husky bar; Freddo Frog and does anyone remember the ridiculously-named ice lolly "Lolly Gobble Choc Bomb"? I used to feel a right tit asking for that :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ligs Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I'm sure you can still get Freddo's. I remember the good old days, when Snickers were Marathons, Starbursts were Opal Fruits.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted March 7, 2004 Author Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2004 "Lolly Gobble Choc Bomb"? I used to feel a right tit asking for that :-) and now you#re older you have to pay a lot more too some of those old bars were class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I'm sure you can still get Freddo's. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're still around I used to feel a right tit asking for that What about a left tit? Sorry, a bit predictable, I'll go now :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Freddo's 100% available - got a BOX of them from Makro a few weeks ago - for the kids obviously!! The thing is our american friends dont know what chocolate is. The crap they serve up over there is awful. Even their version of Cadbury's is bad. Hershey's?

ligs Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I like their Reisen chocolate chew, plus the annoying but also funny (only because of the crapness of it) advert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkE Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Have to say the good ol' Bournville wets my whistle - as does Terry's Chocolate Orange (but why can't I get the dark version in bar form anymore). Also - did you know that 'in the industry' Fuse is known as the Refuse Bar because it is basically the sweepings off the factory floor. (I hang around with far too many 'foodies').

LancsVillan Posted March 7, 2004 Author Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2004 backtracking a little Mint Cracknell where they the ones that exploded in your mouth and were re-launched a bit back as Wonka's summat or other? Not seen a Bournville bar for years, ever since getting me mum one for mother's day in fact with my pocket money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Talking of the crackly stuff, do you remember "Space Dust" that used to explode at the back of your throat. I was never allowed it as a kid because my mum believed the urban myth that if you had too much or drank lemonade with it you'd die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 PS Good shout from Rob about Texan Bars. My absolute fave as a kid. Were Cabanas the ones that were like Bounties with cherries in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
