Remembering lost choclate bars

[i]previously posted on the Prince Forum but I got no replys there

My favourite choclate bar was Jamica Rum (yellow cover with an image of a spanish gallion) but that got cancelled so my new favourite was Rum and Raisin but that too got cancelled. I had to then make do with Cabury Fruit but then that got cancelled. At least they revoved the peanut from the Revels pack and replaced it with choclate raisins so I can eat all of the Revels now without spitting some out.

Other favourites of mine that got cancelled:
Wispa (Why??? The new bubbly dairy milk dosen't compare)
Cabury Lime (like a turkish delight but green instead of red inside, the shopkeepers used hand me a lion bar by mistake)
Pink Panther bar (Pink Choclate, this is going back donkey's years)
Two In One (So far back I barely remember it, classy looking bar with a picture of a renaissance type on each square)
Club Golf (like a Club Milk but with dark choclate, green wrapper with a golf ball on the front, my granny used give me these)
Choclate Squirrels
Neoploitans (When I was 4 I called them Wild feachers (couldn't prounounce features) cos they had an image of a palm tree on the front)
Orange Matchsticks (I think these are still available in the UK but not Ireland)

and some ice lolly's I remember:
Dracula Ice Pop (black, in the shape of dracula and with red inside)
Killamonjaro (excuse my spelling, had an indian on the wrapper and was very expensive compared to the others)

and of course the famous Cherry Coke which is no longer available here either.

I loved Wispa bars , and i remember the Pink panther bars!

They have a new Diet Cherry Coke out ,so i hope it's available here. I really try to avoid chocolate , once i start eating it i can't stop. I hate Easter , i know my Mum and Boyfriend will buy me huge-ass eggs neutral

Those sound pretty wild, unusual flavors. Here in the US, the candy bars are all pretty much the same - some variation of chocolate, nuts, caramel, nougat and occasionally rice crispy stuff.

I always liked Whatchamacallit's, but they don't sell them much anymore it seems

Chocolite bar - I really miss this one. It was my favorite for years! It was a plain chocolate bar, whipped very very light and fluffy until it resembled Swiss cheese because of all the air holes or bubbles in the candy.

Summit bar

The Reggie Jackson candy bar was popular in the northeast in the late seventies.

I remember reading about Devil's Food Cake in Marvel comics years ago. I tried one once and it was heaven. Are they still available. They never made it over here.

Milky Bars!
Anyone notice how they changed the taste of them about 5-10 years back. They aren't as fluffy anymore.

And here's a choclate joke:
Did you hear about the man who entered the marathon?
It took him a month to get all the peanuts out of his foreskin!

Marathon bars are sadly a thing of the past. sad

But the Cadbury Curly-Wurly bar is almost identical to the Marathon bar. biggrin
