    I just had to post this here out of sheer excitement:
    I was in Tesco last night and out of the corner of my eye saw a load of Caramacs! 19 to be precise and I bought the lot of them much to the peculiar looks from midnight shoppers just in case I don't see them again for a while! They still taste so good :o

    Haha!

    In fairness though, it was a bit mean buying them all. What about all the other Caramac lovers out there? You've just rubbed it right in their faces.

    They've been back awhile I think.

    When I lived in England I was amazed they sold they there, got them all the time. Then I came back and they had them in shops in Dublin. The novelty was gone :/

    yeah fives were 5p and the bag was brusting with crisps not like nowadays! You could get them in pickle onion or i think the other was bacon flavour not sure! postman pats bacon and bean flavour. Remember the tuck shops with tip top yum yum!!

    I heart Caramacs!!!:p
    I found them at the Texaco garage in Newcastle Dublin west sometime last year and bought five! Prior to that I haven't seen them since the late 80s.

    Went back to that garage and they've stopped stocking them :(
