I remember the following Terry's things:

Neapolitans, Bitz, Waifa and Pyramint. I forget who made Walnut Whip or if they're still around.

Texan bars, made with weird-tasting chocolate and industrial-strength caramel.

Toffee Treets, in a pale blue bag. Minstrels were originally called Treets as well.

Fizz bombs. The blue and white ones were near-atomic.

Swizzels Mr. Fruits. Plastic fruit shapes filled with sherbet. They later came in grenade shapes too.

Galaxy Buttons.

Moose bars. Similar to Milky Way.

Toffos. I loved the mint ones Sad

ScottChegg · 13/02/2021 13:56

The banana split toffees in Woolies pick 'n mix, the ones with the yellow bit in the centre.

Cadburys Marble, was so nice!

Citrus Spring - I loved every flavour.

Double Agents.

These rectangular fruit sweets that had individual wrappers with pictures of the fruit that they were flavoured with. Fruit bonbons I think they were called.

Not strictly treats but, firstly, Uncle Ben's Potato Gratin jars, I am still mourning their loss and I think they disappeared in about 1999. Especially the provencal one.

Secondly, I'm almost starting to think I dreamed this up because I can find no trace of it ever having existed but in the 90s Birds Eye (I think) did a kind of Mediterranean vegetable puff pastry slice, it was lovely. I think I remember Caroline Quentin being in the advert.

Flyte bars were lovely and also low calorie, no idea why they went.

And from my 90s childhood - Milky Lunch bars

AliceinBunniland · 13/02/2021 14:56

Was Bitz the one in the blue wrapper with green writing, a mint flavour bar? If so I liked that too. If not, what was that called??

I thought walnut whips were around but thinking about it I haven't seen one in ages!

You can get Galaxy counters that are buttons I think?

Cadbury marble was nice.

I remember fruit bon bons

I don't remember many of the others!

Was a flyte bar like a Milky Way? I think I might remember that

You can get marble in B&M sometimes.

BettyCarver · 13/02/2021 15:00

Aztec bars. Showing my age here.

AliceinBunniland · 13/02/2021 15:02

I liked pink wafers in the 80s / 90s? I don't think you can get those any more

BettyCarver · 13/02/2021 15:07

Cabana anyone?

MechantGourmet · 13/02/2021 15:08

Spiras. I used to suck coffee up through the middle Blush

MechantGourmet · 13/02/2021 15:09

They have pink wafers in supermarkets now (you mean wafer biscuits, yes?)

LockdownCheeseToastie · 13/02/2021 15:13

Spiras. Hedgehog crisps. Phileas fogg garlicky things- initially were MM. Cadbury’s chocolate before kraft got hold of it.

Nowmum43 · 13/02/2021 15:15

Secret bars
Striper bars
Pyramints
Spira

Don't know why these things aren't around anymore!

YewandOak · 13/02/2021 15:17

@BettyCarver

Cabana anyone?
Were they the ones with a cherry in? If they were,I loved those.
Moonmelodies · 13/02/2021 15:17

How about an Aero Chunky?

WutheredOut · 13/02/2021 15:19

Coconut Boost - by far the superior of all Boosts

iklboo · 13/02/2021 15:20

You can still get Walnut Whips but they're now sans walnut, so they're just Whips now. I miss:

Toffos (all flavours)
Spangles
Pacers
Omega chewing gum
Quattro drink
Tab Clear

GetTheStartyParted · 13/02/2021 15:21

@ScottChegg Walkers make banana split toffees, they are delicious.

WutheredOut · 13/02/2021 15:21

Also Fry’s Fruit cream bar... 5 different flavours In one bar

SimonJT · 13/02/2021 15:26

Not chocolate but a ‘crisp’ they were like french fries in shape, but they were hollow and more rounded. Annoyingly I can’t remember what they were called.

AliceinBunniland · 13/02/2021 15:29

I liked Spira

The pink wafers, I don't know what they were called!

Yes the chunky Aero!

I never had a Coconut Boost but it sounds nice

SimonJT I don't remember those crisps. They sound a bit like wheat crunchies

Does anyone else remember pizza crisps? They were like the texture of Quavers or Snaps but cheese and tomato flavour. Not sure what they were called
