Does anyone remember these sweets

[Nousernameforme]

I only ever had these once in the late 90s and have never found them online or in any of the many sweetie shops I've visited since.

They were white chocolate pyramids but the pointy bit was flattened off. Filled with a dark chocolate mousse type thing. You got them in those sweetie jars that they would weigh out 100g or so.

No one i speak to in real life remembers them either. I can remember thinking they were gorgeous but i expect they would be sickly disappointment now. I would still like to find some, just to check

Sounds like Pyramint but they were a) minty chocolate and b) not in a jar!

Yeah they wernt those. Its weird there is no record of them anywhere. Beginning to think i hallucinated the whole thing

May be they were home made of you only had them once ?

Don’t remember them sorry. However, I have similar with a gorgeous ice cream which was basically orange ice cream in the same packaging that calypo’s come in. These things were immense and I only used to be able to get them from the ice cream van in the nineties and then they suddenly stopped. I still look hopefully every time I take the kids to a van 🤦‍♀️

They were in a proper labled jar thing I do remember that though they could have been homemade i suppose. I went back to that shop a few years later and they didn't have them and didn't remember them

@HotChocolateLover Was it a Strika try this page 38 pics down (i think) on the treats poster

I so want a lemonade lolly now, they were so thirst quenching.

Nousernameforme thank you for that link! I’ve been trying to remember the name of Romero lollies for years!

@HotChocolateLover

I think I can remember those, in my head they tasted creamy orangey and almost a bit ... sherbety? But I thought they were in a sort of tube you pushed up? Might be something completely different 🙈

Mayan Pyramids? - cheap white choc with a fluffy whipped choc mousse inside? shaped like a pyramid with a flat top - and 3 lines round the outside like layers? Not big, like oversized Munchies?

They were not around for long...

@Nousernameforme That certainly looks how I remember them. My mum was also mad for them so may have ask her 🤣 So wish I could have one though....

@HotChocolateLover I think they were called Big Squeeze and they were amazing. Launched by Lyons in 1985 and described as “A six inch long tapered cardboard tube filled with frozen orange sherbet. Once a section has been sucked the tube is gently squeezed to produce more.”

The chocolate things seem vaguely familiar, I’m craving a cider barrel lolly though, they were my favourite.

Had a quick Google. Were they these? Peanut Butter Crunch Mayan www.purdys.com/chocolate-legend

No these had no ridges and were smaller. That purdys website looks amazing.

Were they like these?

No nothing so posh. They were in the big sweetie jars where they would weigh out 100g of such and such
