    are starbars still available, haven't seen one in a long time
    Yep, but they are called Peanut Moro now.

    Red packaging, with MORO in yellow, and the words "Formerly Starbar" across the top of it.

    I had one today.

    Incidentally, you're right, Des, there's only two colours.

    I got my Cherry Ripe Bars today.

    It must have been fate, because I was in Boots in the Jervis Centre today, and bought a couple of bottles of Cherry Coke.

    An evening of Cherry Goodness tonight for me!

    Top Decks.

    Mario ice creams were great!

    You can still get Top Deck in South Africa. There's a South African shop near Liffey Street in Dublin. You can get them there... along with other yummy things like fizzy grenedilla drinks and biltong (if you're in to that!). I had top deck a few weeks ago. It was just as I remembered!

    I vote vice versas.... Bring them back!

    Secret

    I loved this chocolate bar, but I don't think it was around for very long. For years I thought I was crazy because anyone I mentioned them to had never heard of them... but then I finally found someone else who knew what I was talking about :D

    Secret was a chocolate bar that was manufactured by Rowntree (now part of Nestle) in the 1980s and 90s. It consisted of a bird's nest-styled chocolate coating with a creamy mousse centre similar to the filling of a Walnut Whip. It was packaged in a white protective card sleeve and was encased a gold-coloured wrapper with the product's name printed on it in purple.

    A television advert for the product, first shown in 1990, featured an elegant lady sat on a train eating a Secret bar "in secret", accompanied by the song Have You Seen Her by the Chi-Lites.

    The Secret Chocolate Bar was discontinued in the early 1990s due to high production costs and low volume of sales.

    It still isn't ringing a bell though.

    No, Fat Frogs were a toxic-looking apple flavoured ice-pop, shaped like a frog. Taz bars are still around, just known as Caramel Freddos. They're small chocolate bars filled with caramel.

    Cadbury's Strollers
    They were chocolate covered raisins, caramel and biscuit. They were out in the late 80s/early 90s and the ad on TV had the music of Wonderful Life by Black

    Pyramint
    Vague memories of this at the end of the 80s. It was a sickeningly tasty pyramid of dark chocolate filled with minty goo. Bit like the stuff inside the Mintola/Mint Munchies/After Eight sweets or whatever theyre called now. Im not sure who made it, Im guessing it was Nestle.

    I think your thinking of "Freddo's" same thing as a taz bar with a frog on the packaging. Still available AFAIK.
    -- Edit -- Beaten to it.

    Vice Versa here too. I'd love to get my hands on them again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Ah yeah, Strollers ftw. Wasn't there a completely chocolate one in there aswell?
