    Think these were called double caramel in ireland.

    Magnum Ego here had a swirl of raspberry (or some sort of fruit) sauce in the middle and was covered in thick chocolate with nuts I think.

    I lived in Italy when I first had a Magnum Ego. It was the one with the raspberry sauce in the centre. When I arrived back to Ireland though, no one knew what I was talking about!


    7 Deadly Sins magnums were lush..

    I loved the strawberry white chocolate one! Lust I think?

    Mini chips crisps - i used to love them, especially the ready salted ones!

    Gold bullion toffee - mmmmm but would break your teeth!

    Big dolphin shaped marshmallows - kinda strawberry / peach flavoured. I used to get them on holidays in Wexford as a kid and would buy about 5 of them a day. No-one seems to remember them though.

    54321 bars - had one for my lunch everyday in primary school.

    Milky teeth - the ones today are just not the same :(

    Does anyone remember United bars, similar size to Club Milk.....biscuit covered in chocolate with bits of honeycomb in the chocolate. There were a staple in my lunch box! Yum Yum..always loved finding one that had no biscuit in it that was a real treat. They were in a blue and white wrapper cant remember if the wrapper had pictures of footballs or something. Cant find a pic anywhere! :confused::D

    Thats what I find too.. you find a sweet/crisps etc and think great Ive found them.. but they never taste like they did years ago.. take Monster Munch for example... no longer the yummy orange flavoursome crisps they used to be... now flavourless.. yuck.. used to love them! Same with French Fries.. Oh god dont get me started! :D:rolleyes:

    I definitely agree with the Astros.

    But penny sweets that actually cost a penny would definitely be the best thing to bring back!


  • Registered Users Posts: 214 ✭✭Batigol309


    Apple Jacks
    Giant Chew Bars
    Snap Crackle Pop Bar
    Woppa Bars (Cola & Mint)
    Super Cans
    Tangy Bars.......seriously sweets back in 90s were awesome..all these out of Pound coin and still change for "The rest in jellies" :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    I was going to say Monster Munch, but they're still the same - tried them last night for the first time in 15 and they're still damned tasty!

    I think they were called Wonka bars.

    Had crackling candy in them. Probably not the best thing for a 6 year old :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 pac20


    I remember these sweets called Dweebs, Nerds and Runts. The dweebs and nerds were really sour, runts, not so much! I loved them! Definitely bring those back!

    Also I miss Jingles, Vice Versas and Marble bars
