1. Old style Fanta - back when it was a bright florescent orange and tasted
wonderful. Not like the pale piss coloured concoction you get nowadays. They where selling the old style Fanta in Portugal when I was there 2002 - great stuff!
2. Texan bars.
3. Rowntrees fruit pastilles - not the modern nestle version. The old ones where smaller and tasted much better.

Top Decks.

Wine gums by the pound. (for 1 pound 60)

KnifeWRENCH · 20-11-2008 2:59pm

Astros - anyone remember those? They were NYOM!

And Wispa Gold, of course!

If I ever leave Cork, I'll miss Tanora. Apparently there are only very few places outside Cork that sell it (just because the yummy tangeriney goodness might be a tad carcinogenic.)

RentDayBlues · 20-11-2008 3:50pm

Smiley Bars, "Eat a yolk" and macaroon bars in the proper paper wrapping!

Passenger · 20-11-2008 8:20pm

Dan Bars

Been looking everywhere for these but never see 'em. Anybody seen Dan Bars on sale anywhere?

20-11-2008 8:58pm

anyone remember He-man bars??

_blank_ · 20-11-2008 10:21pm

Wispa Gold, obv.

I miss Cherry Ripe from Australia, and you can get Top Decks over there two, but also Triple Decks, with either Dark Chocolate aswell, or a flavour like Strawberry as the third layer. NYOMMAGE.

Cherry Coke I miss, but it CAN be got in Boots from time to time and I always stock up when I'm in there.

Again, from Australia, Burger Rings, lovely snacks they are.

coillcam · 21-11-2008 2:51am

Oh the double dip, what a treat to get as a wee nipper

A shame I haven't had one in years

Also the limited run of mint Kit Kats was fab bak in the day

Oh and I'll never forget the apple sours - small hard boiled sweets in a green metal foil wrapper. They were fairly sour, so strong in fact we used to have competitions between myself, brother and cousins to see who could suck them the longest while maintaining straight face, then up the ante to 2 or even 3 at a time. Innocent times.

Really? I'm practically foaming at the mouth after reading that. I haven't seen one in so long I can't remember. Any idea where you saw them?

I can't remember what they were, but I remember them being very nice.

I was eating a Milky Way a couple of weeks ago and was thinking they used to be different years ago. Then I checked YouTube and found this ad.

I just about remember this ad for the change being on TV.

Ah, I vaguely remember them! Like the original Crispy M&M.

I'll always mourn the loss of Postman Pat sweets

They were way nicer than cripsy M&M. The crunchy bit at the centre wasn't the same horrible rice bit in Crispy M&M's.

He-man bars were chocolate(well flavored) with some sort of gooey center, cant quite remember the flavor of the center...

I googled extensively for you, rather than doing my essay, and found this quote:

Chocolate with pink goo in the middle of one side and orange goo on the other

Couldn't find anything else though, or any pictures.

Oh My God!!! I had totally forgotten about these though I used to eat them all the time. Wow, memories

But yeah I really miss Top Deck. And I did quite like Marble. And as for Woppa Bars I loved them; my sister and I used ALWAYS get the Spearmint one and my brother the Cola one, so I always associated the mint one with girls and the red one with boys. I was weird

Faith, your description of that He-Man bar sounds SO incredibly familiar, but I can't for the life of me picture it in my head.

Phototoxin · 22-11-2008 1:09pm

Wham bars... but its irrelvant... I cannot eat sweets anway

Diairist · 22-11-2008 1:12pm
