I’m going to the shop to get a treat. Probably not a milky bar though. Might get a twix.

What are you having?

I've been fancying a kitkat for a while now. But DS treated us himself to a giant bag of mini eggs so I might be heading there.

Both good choices. I’ll grab both so you can decide later!

I am now fancying those raspberry coconut chocolates: They are great.

A Yorkie Original.

A Milky Bar or Twix is a good shout too.

LegoHouse274 · 12/02/2025 05:22

Peanut butter KitKat chunky

MaggieBsBoat · 12/02/2025 05:27

Ooooooh is it a retro newsagent that has Cabanas?

Youngheartsalittletogetherness · 12/02/2025 05:28

Salt and vinegar disco's.
Burton's cheese and tomato puff's (sadly discontinued long ago).

DoorToNowhere · 12/02/2025 05:28

I'd like a Bueno please.

Aposterhasnoname · 12/02/2025 05:29

Mars bar and some malteasers please.

rach7979 · 12/02/2025 05:48

If it's retro- I would love a spiral!

MaggieBsBoat · 12/02/2025 05:50

Spirals!!

also those weird sweets spangles. Delicious!

GoldfinchesInTheTree · 12/02/2025 05:57

I'd like one of those wham bars. But I'd also like to be 10 again to fully enjoy it. I don't think I'd like it now!!

ThatSchoolOfficeLady · 12/02/2025 06:07

I'll have a mars bar please. I'll stick it in the fridge for a few hours then cut it into slices. No idea why it tastes better that way, but it just does.

MagnoliaTreeBlossom · 12/02/2025 06:22

A retro/memory lane shop for me, please.
May I have a 10p mixture in a paper bag? Thank you.

Pinkyhere · 12/02/2025 06:23

Obviously a Ripple, Aero (original flat shape) and a bag of cadburys buttons, with a ribena carton to wash it down.
I am almost drooling thinking about It

Whams are still delicious now! Though at 50 I fear my teeth will be pulled out.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 12/02/2025 06:28

In tk maxx the other day I saw big sized bars of chocolate covered peppermint cream. A bit like the fry's ones but 150g and milk chocolate. I sincerely regret not getting one

TangyLemonCandy · 12/02/2025 06:50

A white twix and some of those yoghurt covered skittles which only seemed to be around very briefly please.

Flidina · 12/02/2025 06:56

I'll have a Fry's Turkish Delight and Fry's Peppermint Cream, and if it's a retro shop a Cadburys Fuse for later please!

Deathraystare · 12/02/2025 07:13

Well actually I was in Tesco yesterday and nearly got a milky bar! So yes please!!!

BeforeTheFall · 12/02/2025 12:41

I’ve made a list. Can see why it can be a time travel / retro one. If we can organise time travel, we could all go on our tour back in time to enjoy various sweet treats from childhood.

I’m going to travel to my high school, circa 1995, for a Highland Toffee. I’ll experience again everyone using their desks to slap the toffee against so it broke into pieces. Joanne, would sit on hers until it warmed up. Under her leg, for those with a filthy mind!

Then I am going to travel back to ‘88 and being with my grandparents in a sweet shop. Paper bags with mini eggs. My grandad liked those chalky pressed letter shaped things.

Texan bar
Nutty bar
Mb bar
5p lucky tattie with the possibility of a 5p in it.
Burton's puffs all flavours available.
And lastly the cabinet with the half p and penny sweets.

TonTonMacoute · 12/02/2025 14:35

If we're going back in time I'll have a Topic please.

Chocolate bars these days are just rank, but I suppose it's good that I don't eat so much

Judd · 12/02/2025 14:41

Oooh a Caramac please! Or if you've got too much to get, I can get one from our 1988 school tuck shop when I'm next on the rota to serve behind the counter
