    As a kid really enjoyed the flake adverts.
  • ooo err, quivers in the nether regions at the thought of those suggestive flake ads;>)))
  • My favourite insult at a football match was a guy behind me yelling out 'you're playing like a sceptic spangle number five' at an opposiion defender.

    Favourite bar from the past

    Star Bar

    Cabana bars were like a posh Bounty - very nice. Also, as mentioned, Texan bars; When a man's gotta chew what a man's goota chew.
  • giggle titter, "posh bounty", how did you guess my porn star name?;>)))

    What the five fruits ones?
  • they never got the five fruity creams recipe right, cuz often the filling was hard/possibly old - maybe cuz it wasn't a seller tho?

    My recent fave but these seemed to have disappeared now

    Isn't that basically a Twirl?
  • greatly enjoyed the choccie reminiscing, but how (my) confectionery times have changed...i'm currently munching on an organic cacao crunch bar - cacao, agave, sprouted sunflower seeds and buckwheat - verrry tasty despite your raised eyebrows;>)))

    Ive seen the whole bars but the 5in1 was the best, didn't know what end to start first!
  • frys five fruity creams was bettered by milk tray in a bar form imo, remember that?
  • Cadburys bar six. Back in the 60's as a young kid, this was the only chocolate bar my old man ever bought, he loved them and although nothing really that special, I grew to love them. Come to think of it, it must be donkeys years ago that they vanished.

  • could never get used to the hazelnut cream in bar six. i tried but it never bettered the classic kitkat taste/texture combo, mmmm...ok not exactly a choc bar, but who could forget yo-yos and all their fab flavors?

    Also the Cadbury "spira" was a good one as you could use it as a straw to drink tea through melting the chocolate as it went.

  • awwww dear me, spira was my final fave choccie habit before i went full-on raw/vegan in hmmm, 1997, tho i never did the tea straw thing - miss the spira, what a corker of a confection, my poor old mum would send them over to me in lost angles wrapped in charlton news clippings - spira, simple, straightforward, a no-frills classic!

    Look how they have changed in size over the years, Scandalous !

  • size does matter, but wagon wheel lives on...this little (originally 2 in a pack?) stonker may have been my first childhood choccie love/habit...indeed a classic moment in british confectionery history - an unstoppable seminal milky mega munch!
