What about Cadburys Big One ?

The advertising slogan was unbelievable and of great amusement to adolescent boys at the time.
'If you like your Big One to last a long time,
Big one, sticks out a mile.'

Launched in 1971, Big One was er, quickly withdrawn.

Anyone remember (I think it was Cadburys) There was a bar of chocolate with about 6 assorted chocs stuck together on one bar.

Yes in the shape of a bar off chocolate with i think 8 seperate flavours or may have been 6 as you say.

I remember them when i was 12-14 years 40 years ago

Toffo's all different flavours - strawberry, banana, choc etc.

This topic has bought back a lot of old memories.

I hope you lot do realise that all these products would have been withdrawn because they fell out of favour with the consumer and thats why we no longer see them!

I'm gonna start an " Old Fireworks" thread nearer bonfire night.

time to resurect this one I think.. ( I was searching for toothache and this was one of the results.. )...

I used to love Wheelz crisps..

used to have them as a kid and then found out that the shop round the corner from the place I first worked still had them.. ( I wonder if they still do.. )..

I think they were made by nibblitz or something?


anyone else have any old favourites or know where to get sweets and snacks from our youth?

Theres a stall in Kirkby market sells things like layered sherbert, Koff Kandy, Jap Desserts, Blackjacks etc.
Love taking the grandkids there and they love the novelty of a little traingular paper bag!

Blas, 'Old Jamaica did indeed have a sailboat on the wrapper, loved that choc!

brought back memories of buying it for my dad as well, (now we get toblerone) you can still get it in tesco, i buy it occasionally to sort of remember my dad if that doesnt sound too mental,

 

[ColJack]

you can only ever get the giant toblerones at christmas though it seems.. possibly fathers and mothers day and valentines too?

Anyone remember Fry's Five Boys chocolate? And they made a bar that had white choc, milk choc and dark choc all in the same bar. Like three different layers?

 

[ColJack]

5 boys, that the ones where there were 5 different flavours in the one bar? fondant centers like the mint creme were?

do they still make "snaps" crisps?

surely monster munch is still about too?

 

[joinerjohn]

I remember Fry's Five Boys was just an ordinary chocolate bar with, unsurprisingly five boys faces on the bar itself.The five pictures of the boys were named, Desperation,Pacification, Expectation, Acclamation and Realisation.
