Used to love, Spangles especially the ones in the black wrapper, weren't they the Old English flavour?

Those are the ones I remember.  Just had a bit of a search and yes, they were called Old English Flavour.  Wikipedia tells me that the flavours were liquorice (black), mint humbug (brown), pear drop (orange/red), aniseed (green) and treacle (opaque mustard yellow).

I don't think we'd invented courgettes back then.

I believe so. It tastes like unflavoured blancmange

What are American 'Twinkie' Bars? I hear them often mentioned in American films. Do we have an equivalent here?

You can usually get them in B and M, vile sickly things, I'd wanted to try one for years after hearing John McLane mention them in Die Hard, never went back for more...

Bring back Cabana Bar, like a Bounty with cherry pieces, or the original Boost bar in the red packet...

Just be very careful when googling "Twinkie".
