Can I ask about coconut boosts? Were these like current boosts but containing coconut? Because that sounds like my dream come true….I have no recollection of them (born in 1988)

Has anyone mentioned Pacers yet?

Galaxy Bites. God they were so good. Anyone else remember them? I still think of them fondly.

Does anyone remember Glee bars from the early 80s? No one seems to remember them but they were a chocolate sponge cake bar, covered in chocolate with a jam filling.

I keep thinking of new ones.

The white chocolate mice and skulls with the gooey strawberry centres. I can't remember the last time I saw them.

The original taste of the strawberry lolly in a Dib Dab.

Secret (obvs).

Mars Delight.

Original taste of strawberry Hunba Bubba. Even though it would last four and a half seconds.

Echo. (Would eat the chocolate off the top first).

Cadbury’s Snaps.

Twix Top.

Milky Way Crispy Rolls.

Mint Toffos.

Dairy Milk Tasters.

Galaxy Truffles in Celebrations.

Riesen Chocolate Chew.

Mingles. I really loved these.

Kitkat Senses.

Mars Planets (anyone remember those?)

Time Out.

Drifter. (So chewy).

That’s all I can think of now that I liked. I honestly cannot imagine why they stopped a lot of them. They were so fucking good.

Secret

The original tutti fruittis

I long to go to Eddie's sweet shop with my Nan and buy a Secret bar 😔

Stickytoastandhoney · 11/11/2022 23:29

Milky bar choos

Woahbodyforrrrm · 11/11/2022 23:31

I also wish they still did selection boxes the way they used to. Shaped like a stocking with the bars held in place with plastic netting. I'd love it if they could come up with something similar but without the excess plastic!

I remember them in the 80s as coconut in the middle covered by a layer of toffee covered in chocolate. I loved them

ErrolTheDragon · 12/11/2022 00:13

Mint YoYos. Much better than Viscounts.

SaladBarNanny · 12/11/2022 00:15

Rolo eggs circa 1994. Like Cadbury Caramel eggs but even better

LucyFox · 12/11/2022 00:47

Cadbury Fuse …

RaininginDarling · 12/11/2022 00:56

I know this is not in the same snack food group you were asking about but my immediate thought was: cheesy Nik Naks.

LearnerCook · 12/11/2022 00:56

Can we include crisps? Tudor crisps were way better than Walkers. I'd bring back their roast pork & apple sauce flavour if i could. Yum!

Spangles and Toffos are much missed.
