My chocolate favourite was Texan ...hated caramac though

 

I also remember some little chocolate button type things in a white packet with a giraffe on ..no idea what they were called but they were great ....and some sweets in a cardboard packet called pick pockets.

What about the smokers selection box 50s/60s era, only used to see them at Christmas.

Its contents were chocolate cigarettes, matches a lighter and a pipe.

And a few chocolate cigars, plenty of stuff to get the young non smoker interested.

What would the anti smokers think of this now? :D

i used to like those candy cigarettes and have never smoked as an adult. I think kids are molly coddled too much now. i also liked spangles, rhubarb and custard sweets and kop kopps amongst others.
