To love Frys Chocolate?

[SPsDoesntLikeChaffingFishnets]

I don't really like dark chocolate but I love Frys.

I have a bar of mint cream and one orange cream.

I think the Orange is my favourite. It also reminds of my Great Grandfather who uses to sneak us it in church.

He used to tell us it was magic and kept him alive.

Anyone else?

Coconut Boosts got stuck all round my teeth and I had to spend about an hour picking the bits off with my fingers,dribbling chocolatey dribble down my chin .

But they were divine.

Is coconut ice still on sale? The pink and white stuff? That and Fry's orange cream were my drug of choice.

ah yes tasteslikechicken thanks yes tobacco themed sweets were the thing of the 70s didnt encourge children to smoke at all

[MrsBrownsGirl]

Hahah chicken sorry about the pacers I was too busy being delighted that I wasn't going senile. All out of toffoes but how about a Fresh Minty Egg circa 1986?

[mrsjay]

Is coconut ice still on sale?

never liked that but have seen it somewhere recently

[AthelstaneTheUnreadyFucker]

Ah, yes, and the oh so american cigarette candy sticks - with coloured red ends to look like they were really burning

[Heartbrokenmum73]

Holy cow - Bullion bars!

And the chocolate cigarettes in Americanised 'packets' (like Camel). They were wrapped in white paper and tasted amazing.

Yes yes to the golf ball chewing gums too. And ice-cream flavour jawbreakers.

[AthelstaneTheUnreadyFucker]

you've seen it Mrs Jay? Excellent. That's my food shop sorted.

[Heartbrokenmum73]

Haha charley - I think you'll find 'they're not Terry's, they're mine!'

[SPsDoesntLikeChaffingFishnets]

I got some candy cigs and they are shit Taste nothing like they should.

Also loved the chocolate cigs that you had to take the white 'rizla' off.

I.recognise the name of coconut ice.

I have a nougat with peanuts in the fridge

[lollilou]

I want a bitz bar. Does anyone remember them? They were a chunky bar of dark chocolate with crunchy green mint pieces. I really really loved them I think I ate one every day when I was pregnant with dd.
Been discontinued now though.

[MrsBrownsGirl]

Ooh being dweller...Biarritz!! Wasn't that in a triangular box? Do you remember Carousel? Or Matinee Selection, they were both marzipan- themed I think.

[mrsjay]

do you have one of those old fashioned sweetie shops near you try there for coconut ice ,

[SPsDoesntLikeChaffingFishnets]

Heart I see we thought of the sams thing

[VerySmallSqueak]

You can get coconut ice in posh places.

I know you can still get them,but my Mum always used to have a little white bag of mint imperials or licorice torpedoes tucked down the side of her chair.

[mrsjay]

Biarritz sounds like a vile drink i drank in the 80s with lemonade cos i was classy

[Heartbrokenmum73]

SPs - the cigarette thing aside, the chocolate was like nothing else around. I wonder if they had nicotine in them

[mrsjay]

oh you know it was maybe a Garden centre I was in a Garden centre the other sunday and they had a sweet aisle and had slabs of sweets IYSWIM

[VerySmallSqueak]

I'd entirely forgotten about the fools gold and chocolate fags.

Each were a marvel.

[AthelstaneTheUnreadyFucker]

ARF at liquorice torpedoes

seriously!?

[AthelstaneTheUnreadyFucker]

Righty-ho, posh garden centres for the weekly shop. No problem.

[SilverApples]

OP, I've hated Fry's chocolate for longer than you've been alive.
My grandfather loved the dark mint bar, my grandmother loved Fry's Turkish Delight. Both of which were safe from a scavenging grandchild.

[SPsDoesntLikeChaffingFishnets]

It was just really cheap chocolate. I don't think it could be legally called chocolate

Just like the the chocolate footballs in a net
