Fuse bars however, WOW, they were nice :) In fact, i might take a look round the corner shop and see what i can see, maybe even ask about a few oldies... haha.

those were Bassetts 'Sherbet Fountains' - they should have had a health warning - breathing sherbet isn't recommended ;)

You can't buy them singally anymore though, nt to my knowledge anyway.
Saucers were the best :)
And good luck with the grand-daughter :)

They were cool.
Anyone else remember Ovaltine chocolate bars? Or (really going back a long way now) Zing Bars? More recently, the white chocolate lime KitKat was yummy!

Curly Wurlys are still about but what about my coffee walnut whips they don't make them any more :(
Nooo, Wispa had really tiny holes and loads of chocolate, but Aero has huge holes and less chocolate... plus Cadbury's chocolate tastes better than Mars chocolate, imo.
I'll admit that the old Wispa adverts were crap though

Yeah, they sell curly wurlys in the shop we have on-site at work. I'll buy you one if you like :)

Thanks very much for the offer Mate!:tu: They changed the recipe for curly wurly`s back in 1975 i think it was and they were never the same!
Used to love Texan bars though, the sort of thing that would pull your fillings out!:disturbd: :D
Why did they change Milky way bars as well!>?????????????
Looks like wispa isn't available now.. :(
It's not listed on the Cadbury site.
According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wispa)... It was discontinued by Cadbury in 2003 in favour of the Dairy Milk Bubbles bar. :cry:

Yeah Whispa was more chocately and seemed sort of slightly coffee flavoured to some slight extent.
I also love Mint Matchmaker sticks, very nice......and double deckers.
A couple of years ago they used to make these little chocolate Christmas puddings that were in two halves. They were lovely and had a kind of milk chocolate truffle nutty centre !!!
Then they decided to poison them by adding a marzipan flavour to them. yuck.

Spangles were great because they seemed to be the first boiled sweet that didn't rip the roof of your mouth apart, like a 'sour lemon' or a 'pear drop', would.
- but they did get very gooey, in your pocket, on a hot day ;)
- and how many 'mighty imps' could you hold in your mouth at the same time ? :cool: :D

I think I had a lion bar a few Sundays back although at 5 o'clock on a Sunday morning it really could have been anything, probably wasn't even chocolate at all :erm:

Yep Lion Bars are most definitely still around! They disappeared for a while but there was demand for them so they were bought back! KP Used to do flavoured nuts, but I've not seen them in ages!!

Yes! Those and marmite flavoured ones were the only 2 out of 10 which I couldn't name in biology whilst tasting with a pinched nose to demonstrate that taste relies on smell.
I can't smell, and was able to successfully name 8 flavours of crisp :D
