    Do any children of the eighties out there remember pink chocolate. My sister claims there were pink panther bars and my friend claims to remember pink mice. But I remember something else, A pink bar in a pink wrapper and a ordinary milk chocolate bar in a blue wrapper. Does anyone else remember this and know if you can still get it today?

    I can definitely remember eating pink chocolate (and not really liking it), and Pink Panther bars ring a bell. I have seen pink mice recently, but that's about it.

    This rings a very faint bell... I'm sure it smelled of synthetic strawberry and there might have been one with crunchy bits.

    POerhaps it also had a memory suppresant in it? :)

    !! pink mice! I haven't had those in ages. I remember the white mice, sugar laden white chocolate and the pink ones had a filling. The local shop didn't have them in much. You can make them out in this fuzzy picture

    The pink panther bar was something similiar but a slightly different taste.

    I loved pink chocolate, pink panther bars were my favorites as a small child, I remember them being almost sickly sweet and I can only imagine what type of additives they contained. Most recently I discovered that Lir choclates have a strawberry white chocolate truffle that is a bit like it but a lot more sophisticated :)

    Yes, I recall those pink chocolate bars, though I can't put a name on em.

    As for the pink mice, aren't they still around! F**kin lovely too!

    Maybe if we get the chocolate forum I requested this would make interesting discussion!

    confusing pink with brown always ends with a slap to the face...

    AFAIK they use Hydrogen Peroxide to bleach chocolate for milky bars so they probably just add pink socks, and everyone knows how pink socks run..

    I think I remember the pink bars. My evil grandmother and an alleged Fanta stain on her living-room carpet come bundled with the complete memory though, so I'm not opening that! Have a look here maybe?
