With the news that Mars are to bring back Marathon bars to replace Snickers and that they have already re-introduced opel fruits instead of starburst which old brands would you like to see again.

For me I like to hear Nestle pronounced correctly once more ie Nes-alls as in the "the creamiest milk, the whitest bar, Nes-alls Milky Bar" and not Nes-lay

Plus Cresta "it's Frothy man" back on the shelves.

    As a kid I always wanted a BAR SIX but my mum would never buy them.

    Last year I was standing on Kings Cross station when I saw a poster for it and I thought great they've brought it back, as soon as I finish filming I'll go and see if I can get one.

    Finish filming..... I was on a 1960s set, what a twat.

    Oh and Old Jamaca.

    Mate very true , look at Space Raider crisps as an example . Used to be 10p a packet no problem , they've now made the packet bigger so the price has sky rocketed up to 25p and I reckon you get the same amount of crisps ...

    Tudor Crisps, not sure if they had them down south but Pickled Onion were my favourite. They were taken over by Walkers but they are not quite the same, and it is the best advertising slogan "a canny bag of Tudor"

    in the early-mid 80's there used to be a chewy bar thing which had hard fizzy bits in it. i think they may have been called wham bars.
    also space dust.
