Orange poppet creams, Drifters & Mars delights were my go-to vending machine choccy bar in secondary & 6th form! I also loved the milkybar chew when i was little!
I remember the Pyramints. They were actually quite large and whilst the dark chocolate pyramid shell and the mint filling were delicious, they were loaded with sugar - about as much as 3-4 Cadburys Creme Eggs. They used to sell pyramints at my local off-licence however I didn't eat them that often as they were quite expensive and we were very poor.
I can easily name my favourite chocolate bar of all time. This was a bar called "Mint Cracknell" that I believe was produced by Mackintosh's. It was produced in the early 1970's. It was strands of minty fibres within a chocolate shell. It was in a card tray in a similar way that the Bounty bar was (when we used to have proper packaging in the past.) There were 2 pieces end to end, the same as Bounty also. However, the bar was very flat in appearance and had a bright green wrapper. I have a picture here of it somewhere on my computers. I did contact the manufacturer in recent times to ask if it was ever likely to be brought back and they were adamant that the answer was no. It was delicious and I have never known any other product with a similar taste or texture. It was originally priced at 3p shortly after decimalisation and I was totally addicted to them as a kid. On another subject, I do wish the manufacturers today hadn't gone down this path of ruining the packaging. Confectionery was always beautifully packaged in the past. These printed plastic sleeves they produce today are cheap and nasty. They detract from the whole enjoyment of the product. I know some people will say that we don't eat the wrappers, but I like to see products nicely packaged and feel that it is part of the whole experience. Kit-kat is an obvious example of the rubbish packaging we have today. Look at Quality Street. Used to be Quality Street. Today it is cheapo-street. Plastic tubs instead of tins and disgusting cheap packaging. I would rather pay more and have a quality product.
I do remember Mint Cracknell,if vaguely,from the 70s. Other ones I remember well from back then are Old Jamaica,Pacers and Spangles. I also remember the 5 Centre version of the Fry's Chocolate Cream bar,Golden Cup (Reese's produce something perhaps a little reminiscent now) and Poppets/Toffets; I was happily munching something with strong,sticky toffee like that in the cinema one summer evening in about 1976 when it extracted one of my teeth for me. Mars Delight,Marble and Joosters are others in the video that I remember. Those mint pyramid things do look great. I never tried Turkey Twizzlers; my school years were in the 70s and earliest bit of the 80s when a two-course hot meal of traditional British dishes was prepared by the kitchen staff every day,plus my secondary school had a extensive,varied salad buffet as an additional option with things like hot roast potatoes - and not a vending machine in sight! I worked on-and-off,in between trips abroad and then as a holiday job while taking an HND,on a shrink wrapping machine in a packing warehouse for a couple of years at the start of the 90s. There we shrink-wrapped a variety of Heinz productys,including Toast Toppers - but I can't say I ever got round to trying them. As for Fuse,it appears they reFuse to revive them,and the one called Secret had that name for a reason. And I agree about some of the new packaging for things like Quality Street looking tacky when it used to be far classier.
Cadburys marble was basically like the Gulian shells. banging. Walkers barbecue was a really strange decision to shelf. It was actually pretty intense barbecue, probably the best on the market for a barbecue crisp at the time and maybe even now tbf.
As a child of the seventies we were truly blessed with the huge variety of chocolate bars. We didn't mind waste either. Remember the waxed paper under the outer wrapper on Opal Fruits ie. Starburst. Also the totally uneeded cardboard inserts on a Bounty.
I just know that, unfortunately, Cadbury *never will* bring back the Caramel the way it was (when it’s wrapper was even foil, not plastic). 😥 August, last year, was the 20th anniversary of when Cadbury made this change (just shortly after Len Murray’s 81st - his last birthday he’d be alive for) [and, coincidentally, when ‘192’ was changed to ‘118’]. The penultimate Monday of May, this year, will be the 20th anniversary of his death. Nor, unfortunately, will Cadbury be bringing back the Nuts About variation (bet it too was gone by 2003).
Toffos were legendary 🤩 the fruit & mint ones were also banging! Sooo many of these are such a blast from the happy past of being a kid in 90s & teen in the 00s, we need to bring back sooo many of these. My sweet tooth is now have cravings for all the yummy things they took from us: drifters, fruit toffos, ice cream chewits, Mars delights, mavericks, joosters, campinos, white malteasers, cabury's rum & raisin 🤩🤩🤩
I first saw Old Jamaica in the sweetshops as a small kid in about 1972,the first days of decimalisation. A little later,there was one of those shops down the road from us that sold 2 or 3 or more scoops of different flavour ice cream you could choose from a selection of perhaps about 20,in a cone. Rum and raisin was one of the flavours.
I loved this bar of chocolate if they brought it out again I would be one of the first person at the shop in the morning with the money in my hand to buy at least 8 to last 2 months ( who I am I kidding 2 weeks lol)
I'm 56 and have tried everything on here apart from the jelly stuff and some of the crisps. My top 3 are: 1. Old Jamaica 2. Cabana 3. Pyramint Toast Toppers were a regular purchase by my mum back in the early 80's and I loved them. There was a cheese and ham one too. If you left it on the toast for more than 5 minutes it kinda congealed and was not nice. Great memories there, so thanks for the video!
I used to love Toast Toppers! And I know what you mean about the congealiness. Fuck knows what was in that stuff. I also used to love those little Snack Pots. They were a fave go-to munch back when I was a kid but looking back I realise they just tasted of flour and rehydrated sultanas. So what? heh heh
Another excellent chocolate bar... or biscuit.... I think that is why it failed. Despite it being delicious, it was marketed and sold as a biscuit. Most people going to the biscuit aisle may have passed this by not realising how nice it was, but if it had been sold as a chocolate bar it would have been on its own surrounded by Mars, Nestle, and Cadbury products so may have still not sold enough and got discontinued.
##### Cabana #### (best chocolate bar EVER), #### Heinz toast toppers chicken and mushroom ####, Cadbury fuse, vesta paella, Tudor crisps in the gammon flavour, proper old fashioned butterscotch sweets, original recipe Old Jamaica, Spangles (although they shredded your mouth to pieces, they were lovely), the original sized tins of quality street and roses (with the original sweet wrappers, not those horrid sachet things), fruit polos, Cadbury Turkish delight bars, campino. Loved this! Subscribed!
Texan bars, Spanish gold, golden nugget chewing gum in a cotton sack, toasted coconut marshmallow hedgehogs, marshmallow mushrooms, double agent chocolate mint ice cream lolly, Big K banana ice cream lolly, funny feet ice cream lolly, peanut Nutty bar, peanut brittle, Ice breaker chocolate bar, bubble gum strips all flavours, jubbly, tip tops, oyster delights from the ice cream van, mint poppets, too many more to list!
Spangles were great. Miss the Cabana bar love to see them back. Quavers prawn flavour I am sure you can still get in most stores. Remember Terry's Pyramid Mint but I feel once you've tried one minty chocolate you've tried them all. Boost you can still get am sure too. One childhood favourite not mentioned for me was Tip Top drinks that came in a plastic tub with a straw. Kay-Lye (not sure of correct spelling) was like coloured flavoured sugar you bought loose in cone shaped paper bags, brings back childhood memories.
I liked Coconut Boosts (not only were they better than *regular* Boosts, but additionally Starbars - the peanut variation of a Boost). Unfortunate that Cadbury will never bring them back. 😥
Smedleys Sausage rolls in a tin always reminds me of birthdays as they were so easy to do being ready made. The military had a similar one in their composite rations which sadly also disappeared.
Banjo was lush, they did a nut one and a coconut one. Two fingers of wafer with those toppings on them. Nutty bars !! A fudge centre with peanuts stuck around it with caramel, now that was the dogs 👌
The pyramint was dark chocolate pyramid full of icy mint fondont. Terry's also did the Bitz bars which were basically matchmaker bars. Oh and while we are on the subject of matchmakers bring the coffee ones back
Bet you remember Terry’s Moments (bars with hexagon chunks) - hazelnut in caramel (red-brown wrappers), coconut (neon blue wrappers) and truffle (Royal blue wrappers). Not only will, unfortunately, *they* never be brought back (Terry’s discontinued them in 1994), but nor will (I’m aware Nestle are the ones who makes these) lemon Matchmakers (bet they were discontinued post-2002; I remember they made their debut in December 1993).
As do (McDonalds did these in January - February 1994, and, yes, in the UK) the Vegetable McNuggets (likewise, Burger King needs to bring back what it brought out, in the UK, in December 1997 - the spicy Chicken Royale).
What I miss most is yogurt the way it was in the 1960s. It was flavoured but not sweetened, and set firm in the pot. I absolutely loved it! It bore no resemblance whatsoever to the sugary slop that is sold today.
when I was a wee lad Mackintosh's golden cup was a strange curvy foil wrapped individial finger size bar-delicious and ,as you say, a very liquidy caramel centre.
@@lewisx410I think she (I’m aware the user’s a she because their name’s ‘Tina’) means there are flavours of Angel Delight you can’t get anymore (like blackcurrant, bubblegum, tangerine, lime and raspberry; the only flavours I like, that you can still get, are banana, butterscotch and strawberry). I wouldn’t be too surprised Cresta’s been discontinued, as I’d say it was very sickly (hence I’m surprised the same fate hasn’t gone to Crusha, which would be *very* sickly).
I make my own cabana bars. Mix glance cherries (halved) and coconut with condensed milk. Shape into bars, freeze until firm then coat in melted chocolate and leave to set
Bring back the Opal Fruits. These are NOT the same as Starburst candies because Starburst does not have Tangy Lime flavour. Lime was my favourite flavour that was replaced by Cheery which I find too tart. Lemon, Strawberry and Orange basically taste the same, though.
"Opal Fruits made to make your mouth water fresh with the tang of citrus four refreshing fruit flavours: Orange Strawberry lemon lime, opal fruits made to make your mouth water. My parents always did say I watched too many adverts and if I knew my studies as well as them I'd get somewhere 😂
@@Chris-hm8py especially the toffos that had the original flavour as well as the apple, strawberry and banana flavours too, I remember those fondly as a kid
@@KeyboardKrazy49 Unfortunate that Cadbury will never bring back Fuse (which it discontinued in spring 2006). My favourite Toffos (which Nestle made) were the fruit ones (blackcurrant, pineapple, banana and strawberry), and (I’d say these ones went just at the very end of 2000) the chocolate ones. Nestle should additionally have made ones in peach flavour, and in raspberry flavour (Toffos were discontinued in 2008).
A couple of my favourites were the amazing raisins bar which was very similar to the maverick bar. Can anyone remember the buttersnap which was basically a British Daim bar. It was definitely much bigger and better chocolate. Also Spanish gold I think I it was called. It mimicked a tobacco pouch and had dark slithers of sweet coconut which was supposed to be the loose tobacco. It was very moreish but by the time you had finished the pouch you felt quite nauseous. Just like candy tabs, that's cigarettes for anyone outside the North East, the PC brigade stopped it being sold.
Absolutely loved Cabana gutted when they stopped selling it, my favourite bar. Pyramint was stunning remember it was After Eight ish dark chocolate and mint fondant centre. You can buy Old Jamaica choc in a red wrapper, my dads favourite old wrapper was better though. Thanks for the memories x
One from the late 60s early 70s - Caramint. It was a bar made by McIntosh that was a soft mint toffee centre smothered in Caramac. Loved them. They were only on the market for a few months then disappeared never to be seen again.
I don't remember this but its sounds delicious, I know Caramac tastes nothing like the original from years ago, they brought out Caramac buttons and they were terrible I don't think they lasted long on the shelves though that's no surprise. 😀👍
Becs Croce ah i know what u mean, thats Walkers toffee youre talking about which u can still buy with a hammer which is amazing!Gold bullion was small about the size of a small mars bar in a multipack
I remember United Choc bars with the little pieces of honeycomb sooo delicious 😋 I also miss the Club Fruit bars too. Maybe we should all get together and demand they bring back the old un's haha! 😉
White Malteasers were incredible. Cadbury snow flake too (still gutted about this one) so good! There's a lot there I don't remember to be honest. Champagne crunchie sounds amazing x
I know this is over a year ago but I couldn't help remembering just a few of the treats I loved and how I wish they'd bring them back. Tootie Minties, Opal Mints, Victory V gums, Beechnut Chewing Gum, Stimorol, Dentyne, Plush Nougets, United Bars, Club Fruit, Iced Lemon Buns, Tab Pop, Pink Panther Chocolate, Weekend Chocolates, Vesta Beef Risotto. 👌😋 Out with the new IN with the old. 😉😊
@@dawnfinch8232 mint cracknell.....I loved that stuff! Same with coffee revels I loved them too! They replaced them with raisins....why???? Bring back revels as they used to be along with quality street except for the gooseberry ones and milk tray with the lime barrels! Dairy Box and Black Magic as they used to be too....they're awful now Dairy Box used to be great but now they're a huge disappointment. Also Rowntrees tootie minties! Texan bars as they were Old English Spangles Spangles and pacers!
@@dawnfinch8232 Ooh yes I loved Mint Cracknel, there are far too many to mention and either I'm getting old or didn't they all taste so much better than todays sweets? Something else I can't seem to find are mint chews similar to Opal mints/pacers and I know I could go on but they also discontinued the quarters of Liquorice and mint caramel chews and Lovells choc nougat, why half of these didn't return to our shops I don't know. Oh the memories and don't we just get excited remembering them. All the best for the New year. 🎆🎈🎀
@@sheilamitchell2215 I found a local store near to us that sells Dentyne but its a bit expensive, still has that same cinnamon flavour, I think Wrigley's Big Red is as near to it as you can get but I've yet to find Stimorol though. I noticed you mentioned Black magic chocs in your other comment, my favourite used to be Toffee and Mallow, all these chocolates have changed now, and I wish they'd bring back all the Spangles flavours, I know peoples tastes alter over the years but most of the older varieties even foods excelled over what's on the supermarket shelves these days, still there's nothing wrong with remembering what we once enjoyed. All the Best for the New Year. 🎆🎈🎀
Worcester sauce Twiglets - they were so much better than the original flavour! Posh Noodle - missed greatly, the thin noodles were way nicer than Pot Noodle's. Heinz did a Baked Beans pizza that was really tasty. Wall's Lord Toffingham ice cream lolly was probably my favourite discontinued lolly of all time. Smokey Bacon Smax crisps from Burton's were an absolute classic in my books. Top Deck lemonade shandy and limeade+lager - both surprisingly marketed to kids! - were regular tipples of mine as a youngster.
It was me who mentioned Wonka Fruity wobbledrops. They were jellytots coated in either milk chocolate or caramac both types in the same bag. As for the secret. It was a bar similar in size to Mars. It had a chocolate mousse centre and a nest like coating that was also chocolate
Yes, I remember the Mushroom Double Swiss. It was possible for a while to get this at some branches after BK officially withdrew it but not anymore. The mushrooms and the cheese used in this gave it a unique flavour that I still miss to this day. And yes, I remember Pacers, though I usually remember them with a white wrapper. I should mention Trebor Blobs. A bit like a big Spangle but some flavours (my system keeps nagging me to use the Merkan spelling - BUGGER OFF! WE INVENTED THE LANGUAGE!) were filled.
McDonalds - BIG Breakfast - Hash Brown, English Muffin, Sausage and Scrambled Eggs McDonalds - Cinnamon Toast - Spicy, fruity toast and only available during breakfast time McDonalds - Hot Fudge Sundae - basically warm chocolate sauce swirled around vanilla dairy ice cream McDonalds - Strawberry Sundae - real strawberry sauce swirled around vanilla dairy ice cream McDonalds - Cinnamon Doughnut - A ring doughnut with cinnamon and sugar dusting McDonalds - Chocolate Doughnut - A ring doughnut coated with Milk Chocolate McDonalds - Festive Pie - Mincemeat and Custard only appears during the Christmas/Festive season Kind regards, Peter Skuce, St Albans.

Wow some real nostalgia in this video - glad the coconut boost I suggested was shown. This was the original boost that came out, then the biscuit boost followed (then they added the awful guarana flavour which was just terrible!) the original boost was my favourite chocolate bar but then they stopped with the coconut and stuck with the biscuit 👎🏼 also I remember getting one of those pyramints in my stocking at Christmas! Another now disappeared sweet from my youth are fruit toffos - they were delicious and you could still get them until a few years back. I’d love to see them back too!
Great video , that took me back in time , I'm 50 and remember most of these , fuck but I loved a fuse bar , they were class and the old milkyway bars with the darker centre, new ones are white inside and pish
I live in Canada, so many of the items you've listed are things I've never seen, but a couple were marketed here. I remember Campinos particularly, because when I was looking after my Dad in his last illness, he saw a commercial for them and thought they looked good, so I hunted some up for him. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed them too, and I would live to see them back. And the Cadbury Snowflake : never tried one myself, but I got one to stick in my sister's stocking one year. Her sons ate it. Now that they're grown, I'd like to see the Snowflake back again, just so I could put one in her stocking again. (For more than forty years, we've done stockings for each other, looking for small unexpected treats, often imported, that we can surprise each other with.)
So many good memories. Especially the Frufroos! Do you remember they did UFOs as well? I was obsessed with those. (But what child wouldn't be - it was a UFO shaped ball of chocolate filled with yogurt...) I still have a collection of the toys. The Flake - it did indeed used to be Snow Flake, then they rebranded it to Flake Snow (goodness knows why) latterly before it vanished. My favourite chocolate bar at the time
Toast Toppers were great for two reasons. Firstly, you could knock up a really fast snack in a few minutes. The other way to use Toast Toppers was to use it to make a sauce for steaks, sausages etc. All you had to do was heat it in a pan with a bit of cream. Pacers were a mint version of Starburst. Starburst and Pacers were originally Opal Fruits and Opal mints.
Polos were good in schools because you could hide a cigarette down the hole. If asked to empty your pockets, you showed them polos. Believe me it fits......
Was surprised not to see IRN BRU bars on this list. Were they only available in Scotland or something? I remember getting a handful of them for 50p before I went to school. Loved them! Think they were around until 2002.
I loved the cabana bar coconut and cherries were a great combo. ❤️
My favourite
Please loved it 😍
Oh I used to fucking love them!
You could try making your own with glacé cherries.
Amazing bar. Today the cost of the ingredients would make this at least a pound a bar. I for one would pay that.
I’d like to see Drifters chocolate bar brought back. Was my favourite!!
Yesss
Well. I didn’t realise they were discontinued. I used to love a drifter (not enough to miss them apparently!)
Come on bring this back. Everyone I know wants it back.
Orange poppet creams, Drifters & Mars delights were my go-to vending machine choccy bar in secondary & 6th form! I also loved the milkybar chew when i was little!
The Nutty Bar. I often dream about that roasted peanut and soft toffee temptress wrapped in a burgundy see through wrapper. 😋
Terry’s pyramint were incredible! Gooey mint cream in a dark chocolate pyramid. Very 80’s product they were
I remember the Pyramints. They were actually quite large and whilst the dark chocolate pyramid shell and the mint filling were delicious, they were loaded with sugar - about as much as 3-4 Cadburys Creme Eggs.

Loved that bar too!
Nutty Bars which were Rowntree Mackintosh I think,Toast Toppers were absolutely delicious and Lord Toffingham lolly ices were phenomenal!!
Oh yeah!! I really miss the Nutty Bar, absolutely covered in peanuts and I loved looking through the transparent brown plastic wrapper!
Five centres. Would love those back. Costing 4p as well. 🥰
Burtons' Potato Puffs and Smiths Cheese Moments - yum!
Cheese moments ....yes .
Golden Cups we’re brilliant loved them!
Unfortunate that Nestle will never bring them back. 😥
Ohhhh, I'd forgotten about those, I *loved* them!

I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvved them!!! 😔
Yea toast toppers . I want them .
I used to buy them too in a little tin, they were so nice, should bring them back but they'd probably be about a fiver these days. SHAME !!!!

Cadbury's Bournville rum and raisin came out a few years ago as a limited edition bar. Similar to Old Jamaica.
I first saw Old Jamaica in the sweetshops as a small kid in about 1972,the first days of decimalisation. A little later,there was one of those shops down the road from us that sold 2 or 3 or more scoops of different flavour ice cream you could choose from a selection of perhaps about 20,in a cone.

You can still get it
It’s still called an old jamaica
Old Jamaica differed from Bournville Rum & Raisin, in that the chocolate in Old Jamaica was a blend of milk & plain.
I'm 56 and have tried everything on here apart from the jelly stuff and some of the crisps. My top 3 are:
1. Old Jamaica
2. Cabana
3. Pyramint
Toast Toppers were a regular purchase by my mum back in the early 80's and I loved them. There was a cheese and ham one too. If you left it on the toast for more than 5 minutes it kinda congealed and was not nice.

As do (McDonalds did these in January - February 1994, and, yes, in the UK) the Vegetable McNuggets (likewise, Burger King needs to bring back what it brought out, in the UK, in December 1997 - the spicy Chicken Royale).
Secret bar was incredible I miss it so much!
I liked walnut whip coffee in the clear packet
IRN BRU WHAM BARS!!!! They were the best thing ever. And Irn Bru full sugar.
Mmm...heinz toast toppers were brilliant. Specially chicken and mushroom.
I have the munchies right now tbh.....I'd give them another go. Along with some Findus crispy pancakes ;)
What I miss most is yogurt the way it was in the 1960s. It was flavoured but not sweetened, and set firm in the pot. I absolutely loved it! It bore no resemblance whatsoever to the sugary slop that is sold today.
Love Coconut Boost they should bring them back
when I was a wee lad Mackintosh's golden cup was a strange curvy foil wrapped individial finger size bar-delicious and ,as you say, a very liquidy caramel centre.
Secret is the one I miss the most. Drizzled chocolate covering a marshmallow / mousse centre x
Aaahhhh... the mushroom double swiss, I loved it. What about the Texan bar??? The TV ads were brilliant!!👍👍👍
Ice Breaker choc bars, Spangles, Supermouse choc bars, Frys Five Centre choc bars too. Monster Munch, Angel Delight, Cresta fizzy drinks.
Most supermarkets still sell angel delight
@@lewisx410I think she (I’m aware the user’s a she because their name’s ‘Tina’) means there are flavours of Angel Delight you can’t get anymore (like blackcurrant, bubblegum, tangerine, lime and raspberry; the only flavours I like, that you can still get, are banana, butterscotch and strawberry). I wouldn’t be too surprised Cresta’s been discontinued, as I’d say it was very sickly (hence I’m surprised the same fate hasn’t gone to Crusha, which would be *very* sickly).
The popping candy Wonka bar I remember it in selection boxes at christmas also the dream bar 😋 walkers sour cream & chive crisps was lovely
DINOSOUR EGGS!!!! They NEED to come back. Made by Wonka and were in a box probably around early to mid 80’s. They were E P I C ! !
Omg, I forgot about them!!! 👍
Vesta Crispy Noodles! You get a small portion when you buy Vesta Chop Suey, but they used to sell them separately. Delish!
So many childhood memories here, I could never think of the Frufoo, they also had little chocolate UFOs with yogurt in the the middle which I loved.
Who remembers the purple Wonka bar with nerds in them
The Citrus Polos were ❤❤❤
chddar spread loved that as a kid
I make my own cabana bars. Mix glance cherries (halved) and coconut with condensed milk. Shape into bars, freeze until firm then coat in melted chocolate and leave to set
Bring back the Opal Fruits. These are NOT the same as Starburst candies because Starburst does not have Tangy Lime flavour. Lime was my favourite flavour that was replaced by Cheery which I find too tart. Lemon, Strawberry and Orange basically taste the same, though.
"Opal Fruits made to make your mouth water fresh with the tang of citrus four refreshing fruit flavours: Orange Strawberry lemon lime, opal fruits made to make your mouth water. My parents always did say I watched too many adverts and if I knew my studies as well as them I'd get somewhere 😂
Also polo fruits is the best polo flavour and same as the Oddities I also never knew that polo fruits were discontinued about 2 years ago
The Secret bar had a shell of thin threads of chocolate with a kind of mousse filling. I had totally fotgotten about them!
Here’s my top 4
1. Cadbury fuse
2. Fruitang sweets
3. Toffo
4. Apples Jacks (penny sweets)
Chris 1985 had a toffo few months ago , import
Omg, what I'd do just for a toffo, bloody loved them!
@@Chris-hm8py especially the toffos that had the original flavour as well as the apple, strawberry and banana flavours too, I remember those fondly as a kid
@@KeyboardKrazy49 Unfortunate that Cadbury will never bring back Fuse (which it discontinued in spring 2006). My favourite Toffos (which Nestle made) were the fruit ones (blackcurrant, pineapple, banana and strawberry), and (I’d say these ones went just at the very end of 2000) the chocolate ones. Nestle should additionally have made ones in peach flavour, and in raspberry flavour (Toffos were discontinued in 2008).
Rowntrees Nutty bar should b brought back definitely 😊😊😊
Surprised there was no mention of the Texan bar. Used to love them as a kid, along with Mojos and Toffos. (Late 70s/early 80s)
Loved the cabana and the fuse bars,toast toppers were lovely totally forgot about them lol.
you chose the same as me mate lol
Loved pacers mint starbursts
A couple of my favourites were the amazing raisins bar which was very similar to the maverick bar. Can anyone remember the buttersnap which was basically a British Daim bar. It was definitely much bigger and better chocolate. Also Spanish gold I think I it was called. It mimicked a tobacco pouch and had dark slithers of sweet coconut which was supposed to be the loose tobacco. It was very moreish but by the time you had finished the pouch you felt quite nauseous. Just like candy tabs, that's cigarettes for anyone outside the North East, the PC brigade stopped it being sold.
Absolutely loved Cabana gutted when they stopped selling it, my favourite bar. Pyramint was stunning remember it was After Eight ish dark chocolate and mint fondant centre. You can buy Old Jamaica choc in a red wrapper, my dads favourite old wrapper was better though. Thanks for the memories x
One from the late 60s early 70s - Caramint. It was a bar made by McIntosh that was a soft mint toffee centre smothered in Caramac. Loved them. They were only on the market for a few months then disappeared never to be seen again.
I don't remember this but its sounds delicious, I know Caramac tastes nothing like the original from years ago, they brought out Caramac buttons and they were terrible I don't think they lasted long on the shelves though that's no surprise. 😀👍

Carol B I remember those gold bullion trays!! Are they the ones that came with that little hammer?!
Becs Croce ah i know what u mean, thats Walkers toffee youre talking about which u can still buy with a hammer which is amazing!Gold bullion was small about the size of a small mars bar in a multipack
What about the ‘United’ chocolate biscuit bars? They were to die for 😋😋 pyramints and cabana bars weee lovely too 👍🏻
I remember United Choc bars with the little pieces of honeycomb sooo delicious 😋 I also miss the Club Fruit bars too. Maybe we should all get together and demand they bring back the old un's haha! 😉
White Malteasers were incredible. Cadbury snow flake too (still gutted about this one) so good! There's a lot there I don't remember to be honest. Champagne crunchie sounds amazing x
I know this is over a year ago but I couldn't help remembering just a few of the treats I loved and how I wish they'd bring them back. Tootie Minties, Opal Mints, Victory V gums, Beechnut Chewing Gum, Stimorol, Dentyne, Plush Nougets, United Bars, Club Fruit, Iced Lemon Buns, Tab Pop, Pink Panther Chocolate, Weekend Chocolates, Vesta Beef Risotto. 👌😋 Out with the new IN with the old. 😉😊
At last someone who remembers victory v gums Vivien and weekend chocs also mint cracknel the list goes on 💖
Dentyne did an amazing cinnamon gum oh it was lovely and the flavour lasted forever!
@@dawnfinch8232 mint cracknell.....I loved that stuff! Same with coffee revels I loved them too! They replaced them with raisins....why???? Bring back revels as they used to be along with quality street except for the gooseberry ones and milk tray with the lime barrels! Dairy Box and Black Magic as they used to be too....they're awful now Dairy Box used to be great but now they're a huge disappointment. Also Rowntrees tootie minties! Texan bars as they were Old English Spangles Spangles and pacers!
@@dawnfinch8232 Ooh yes I loved Mint Cracknel, there are far too many to mention and either I'm getting old or didn't they all taste so much better than todays sweets? Something else I can't seem to find are mint chews similar to Opal mints/pacers and I know I could go on but they also discontinued the quarters of Liquorice and mint caramel chews and Lovells choc nougat, why half of these didn't return to our shops I don't know. Oh the memories and don't we just get excited remembering them. All the best for the New year. 🎆🎈🎀
@@sheilamitchell2215 I found a local store near to us that sells Dentyne but its a bit expensive, still has that same cinnamon flavour, I think Wrigley's Big Red is as near to it as you can get but I've yet to find Stimorol though. I noticed you mentioned Black magic chocs in your other comment, my favourite used to be Toffee and Mallow, all these chocolates have changed now, and I wish they'd bring back all the Spangles flavours, I know peoples tastes alter over the years but most of the older varieties even foods excelled over what's on the supermarket shelves these days, still there's nothing wrong with remembering what we once enjoyed. All the Best for the New Year. 🎆🎈🎀
Rowntrees bursting bugs! They done an ice lolly version too.
Worcester sauce Twiglets - they were so much better than the original flavour! Posh Noodle - missed greatly, the thin noodles were way nicer than Pot Noodle's. Heinz did a Baked Beans pizza that was really tasty. Wall's Lord Toffingham ice cream lolly was probably my favourite discontinued lolly of all time. Smokey Bacon Smax crisps from Burton's were an absolute classic in my books. Top Deck lemonade shandy and limeade+lager - both surprisingly marketed to kids! - were regular tipples of mine as a youngster.
One answer: Citrus Polos
Agreed
I adored Gummie Polos and the Butter Ups
You Forgot The Galloway Cheddar Animals
I remember the secret bars loved then my local corner shop used to sell them.
It was me who mentioned Wonka Fruity wobbledrops. They were jellytots coated in either milk chocolate or caramac both types in the same bag. As for the secret. It was a bar similar in size to Mars. It had a chocolate mousse centre and a nest like coating that was also chocolate
There was roysters pizza flavour crisps in the 90s. In Scotland we have a bunch of foods unknown elsewhere like tunnocks caramel log. So yum.
bbq rib walkers are the best crisps i have ever eaten. Should be brought back!!!
Yes, I remember the Mushroom Double Swiss. It was possible for a while to get this at some branches after BK officially withdrew it but not anymore. The mushrooms and the cheese used in this gave it a unique flavour that I still miss to this day.
And yes, I remember Pacers, though I usually remember them with a white wrapper.
I should mention Trebor Blobs. A bit like a big Spangle but some flavours (my system keeps nagging me to use the Merkan spelling - BUGGER OFF! WE INVENTED THE LANGUAGE!) were filled.
Yes, the Mushroom Swiss burgers I just love. As far as I know, only the Dairy Queen has them.🍔👌

I miss TOFFO 😍
Wow some real nostalgia in this video - glad the coconut boost I suggested was shown. This was the original boost that came out, then the biscuit boost followed (then they added the awful guarana flavour which was just terrible!) the original boost was my favourite chocolate bar but then they stopped with the coconut and stuck with the biscuit 👎🏼 also I remember getting one of those pyramints in my stocking at Christmas! Another now disappeared sweet from my youth are fruit toffos - they were delicious and you could still get them until a few years back. I’d love to see them back too!
I loved fruit Toffos too.
Yep I agree Cadburys Cocconut Boost were the best and they swapped it for that horrible chappy biscuit Boost.
Omg I miss Pepsi coffe cino! It was so good. Also I miss Ben and Jerry’s vermonster it was maple swirl and sugary pecans I loved it.
Cabana was my favourite, this was really tasty and in my opinion so much better than boring bounty bars.
Nice & spicy pot noodle was really tasty. Wish they brought that flavour back .
Pacers were chewy striped mints, I remember getting a packet as a kid cos it made me quite when cat wheezel frightened me
Walkers Barbecue Crisps in the black bag. I always loved them.
the cabana was fantastic i forgot about that 1
Fry’s five centre, mackintosh golden cup and findus Lean Cuisine
Vanilla ice cream monster munch thats takes me back!! Loved them!!
Great video , that took me back in time , I'm 50 and remember most of these , fuck but I loved a fuse bar , they were class and the old milkyway bars with the darker centre, new ones are white inside and pish
Spangles Yeap and Glee's were good! Mint Cracknel!
You can get mint poppets in B&M. Pretty sure you can get oddities, as well.
Mint poppets also available at farm foods, 3 packs for a quid
I live in Canada, so many of the items you've listed are things I've never seen, but a couple were marketed here. I remember Campinos particularly, because when I was looking after my Dad in his last illness, he saw a commercial for them and thought they looked good, so I hunted some up for him. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed them too, and I would live to see them back. And the Cadbury Snowflake : never tried one myself, but I got one to stick in my sister's stocking one year. Her sons ate it. Now that they're grown, I'd like to see the Snowflake back again, just so I could put one in her stocking again. (For more than forty years, we've done stockings for each other, looking for small unexpected treats, often imported, that we can surprise each other with.)
So many good memories. Especially the Frufroos! Do you remember they did UFOs as well? I was obsessed with those. (But what child wouldn't be - it was a UFO shaped ball of chocolate filled with yogurt...) I still have a collection of the toys.
The Flake - it did indeed used to be Snow Flake, then they rebranded it to Flake Snow (goodness knows why) latterly before it vanished. My favourite chocolate bar at the time
Good n crunchy crisps were my favourite and the adverts still up on TH-cam. I seem to be the only person in Northern Ireland who remembers these.
Cabana loved these's when i was young , was these's in the seventies.
Toast Toppers were great for two reasons. Firstly, you could knock up a really fast snack in a few minutes. The other way to use Toast Toppers was to use it to make a sauce for steaks, sausages etc. All you had to do was heat it in a pan with a bit of cream.
Pacers were a mint version of Starburst. Starburst and Pacers were originally Opal Fruits and Opal mints.
Polos were good in schools because you could hide a cigarette down the hole. If asked to empty your pockets, you showed them polos. Believe me it fits......
Yes lol
Was surprised not to see IRN BRU bars on this list. Were they only available in Scotland or something? I remember getting a handful of them for 50p before I went to school. Loved them! Think they were around until 2002.
You still get them in some local shops
Cadbury’s old Jamaica. Fuck me pink. Totally forgot about this. Magnificent. Fabulous flavour
