So painfully transparent

Not a Wham Bar???

was it??? that does sound familiar. Now what you have to bear in mind is the last time I remember one of these was around the age of 5, which was 29 years ago...1977

Nearly the same as me.

Was it Pacers?

Think "Opal Mints" before that...maybe?

Wham Bars weren't minty. They were that strange flavour described as 'fruit' on the wrapper. They had a fizzy powder in the centre too.

A mans gotta chew, what a mans gotta chew....

Sounds like you people need to visit escape to the seventies (http://www.escape-to-the-seventies.com/sweets/) for sweet memories (can you see what I've done there?)

Didn't StarBars become Boosts? They're very similar.

yes you can still buy star bars

i used to love teddy bears / midget gems
also highland toffee and highland toffee chocolate bars

anyone remember hedgehog flavoured crisps?

Does anyone remember Palm toffee,dark brown top and bottom with white in between. Lovely grub . Shopkeeper would knock it into smaller pieces with a small metal hammer. You could buy a few pieces in a small bag for a ha'penny.

dark choc bar with like a crunchy green minty centre mmmmmmm............ and moose bars a bit like milkyway

Was it Pacers?

My favourite when i was a kid,white, like opal fruits but with 2/3 green stripes round them (going back 25/30 years ago)

YES YOU CAN STILL BUY THEM BUT I BET YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A DAILY BAR IN YEARS LOL :hihi: does anybody still remember the banjo bars?same as drifters i think

no wonder you've all got rotten teeth ,no sweets or sugar what,maybe 47-8,so never did develop a sweet tooth but at 73 I've still got all my pearly whites and a smile the ladys would die for

My favouites were palm toffee, pontefract cakes and doncaster butterscotch and the treacle toffee that mum used to make on bonfire night

I used to love cabanas.Chocolate bars with coconut and cherry middle and stardust that popped in your mouth.

Ok, I need a bit of assistance here... :lol:

I had an e-mail quiz a few weeks ago - about different sweets and choccy bars...... I've managed to do most of it, there's just 5 I can't get... :help:

For example, "High Class Thoroughfare" = "Quality Street"
"Dark Occult" = "Black Magic"
"Assorted Girls" = "Dolly Mixture"

Now you all have the idea - the 5 clues I can't answer are

"Noisy Insect"
"One Who Wanders"
"It's a Party"
"Easily Blown"
"Reward"

Any ideas :?: :?: :?:

Please!!!!!

'Reward' is Bounty.

EDIT: And 'One who wanders' is Drifter.

Thanks, Hecate.. :thumbsup: 3 more to go......

(PS I can't stand coconut :gag: :gag: , so I wouldn't have thought of "Bounty" in a million years!!!!!)
