ok - i got a real craving yesterday and scoured the shops in the hope of finding what was my fave choccy bar as a teenager and i couldnt find one anywhere!
spira - cadburys thing similar to a twirl but (and here is the disgusting part) - to have with a hot chocolate you could use the bars as a straw! - yum!
so what chocolate bars/crisps/snacks do you remember loving but which have since been lost in the snack food evoloutionary cycle?

For me it has to be Wagon Wheels. I know you can still get them but they don't look or taste the way they did.
On a related note, I loved the bit in Life on Mars the other night when the 70's copper was sitting in his car sucking on a Sherbert Fountain! Brings back all sorts of memories. :lickface:

Think I was the only child in the universe that loved coffee walnut whips. I miss them sooooo much :cry:
And I know its not chocolate but remember Space Dust? We used to dare eachother to take a mouth full then a gulp of Coke to see if your head really would explode :giggle:
:laughabove: then roll around the floor killing yourself laughing with a mouth clogged up with crackly stuff!?? yes been there
ooh!
youve just reminded me! weren wagon wheels HUGE when i was a kid? or is it just that i have got bigger?
and i used to love Frys 5 centres (or something similar it was called - like a frys chocolate cream but a different filling in each section).
my all time fave sweeties though has to be kali and spanish! - some yorkshire folk may know what i am going on about! and i found a proper sweet shop round here that still sells it too! yum

I had my first Wagon Wheel for many many years the other day. OMG I had a sugar rush. What the hell do they put in those things?
I loved Sherbet Fountains too - remember Bill Oddie on THe Goodies tripping on them?

That is very spooky! When I saw this thread, the first choccy bar to sring to my mind was the Spira!
AND I used to use it as a straw to drink my coffee.
Also does anyone remember Vice Versas? Similar to Minstrels but some were white chocolate and others were milk chocolate?

The old Curly Wurly. My kids love them now and Blue and I are loving the revival.

haha yeah I hated the stuff but had to do that cos it was so funny!
There also used to be coal dust and choc lick, and tiny little blue sweets, can't for the life of us remember what they were called but they were really nice, maybe only cos they turned your mouth blue though!! LOL
And also when you went to the seaside, jars of sweets that looked like pebbles from the beach?? Ok thats enough for now!!
