LancsVillan Posted March 7, 2004 Author Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2004 space dust - great shout and yes Cabana were that bar, used to get one on my paper round (Allbutt's in Headless Cross, Redditch) which might explain my liking for choccie these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 We used to live next door to a Dillons newsagents in Sutton Coldfield. I think that explains mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkE Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Space Dust - we used to buy a couple of packets and stuff the whole lot in in one go. You felt as if your head was going to explode. Also - remember kayleigh (kalie, k,lye or something). Basically sugar, colouring and flavouring - you'd buy a bag, lick your finger, stick your finger in and suck the sugar back off (is it me, or does that sound highly suspect?). We'd either buy it from Coombes in Sutton (great shop) or make our own - I have a sneaky feeling Blue Peter taught us how to make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is straying a bit from Chocolate but Jublee's? Basically a brick of flavoured ice in the shape of a pyramid?

LancsVillan Posted March 8, 2004 Author Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2004 Jublee's - oh do I remember them. Stopping footie and cricket matches every summer holiday for half an hour while we all struggled with how to open them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RantinRob Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 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 Mint cracknell was two square pieces of chocolate filled with a brittle green mint stuff that snapped when you bit into it I heard on the radio the other day that they stopped making 'em because kids used to cut their tongues on 'em There's a link here to an on-line shop that sells some of the old stuff, and explains why a few were discontinued http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted March 8, 2004 Author Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2004 cheers Rob - that killed another 10 mins Toffo's - lost two teeth to them and three to chocolate eclairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkE Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Those chocolate eclairs were lethal to teeth - espcially in winter. They make Space Dust look like candy (what?!!!?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3_Penny_Opera Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Dammit Drat, didn't I just say I bought a Yorkie when in London! Cadbury's for kids...

Guest RantinRob Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Texan, why would there be an English chocolate bar named after an American state full of morons? BWA HA HA HA HA! Texan used to have an amusing animated ad too, a long tall Texan in a hat & poncho, being tied to a stake for firing squad execution A little Mexican (I assume) asks him " A last re quest, Grinnnnnngo?" Of course he asks for a bite of his Texan bar, and it takes so long to chew all the firing squad fall asleep and he gets away i think I've remembered that right, feel free to correct........ :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
