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.

Ok, what was the spearmint bar. It was pink and like an oblong waffle shape. Quite crisp when bitten but then became a little chewy?

 

Did you ever find out? I've been longing to find out about this pink waffle bar for ages! It was my favourite.

It was wrapped in paper a bit see through like a sort of grease proof paper I think

I would have thought "reward" was more likely to be Treat...as in Treats??

Does anyone remember Thornes butter dainties? Also Lyons 'zippy' ice cream. IT was pink, green and white ice cream. It came with just a band of cardboard round a slice of ice cream

MINTOES isnt spelt the same as PACERS! :hihi: :hihi:

 

'Mintoes' which were single sweets and cream in colour , were made by 'Nuttall's of Doncaster'. They made 'Butterscotch too.

Apart from the loose sweets the best you could get that a kid could afford were; 'Mars bars. 'Bounty' and 'Aero' Chocolate or peppermint. Then if one had more 'pennies', there was 'Cadbury's (of Bourneville)', 'Terry's (of York), Needler's (of Hull). My favourite was 'Bluebird' (chocolate and toffee), forget who made them, perhaps 'Sharp's' ?
