FabSwingers.com forum: Sweets Gone By

Hey sexy peeps x

Name some sweets you miss that are not made any more, this could also be they are still made but are different from how you remember!

I’ll start, I miss apple jacks, terry pyramints, secret bar, spira bar, fruit toffos, Chelsea Whoppers, red liquorice karate belts haha

Should make for an interesting thread of reminiscing retro sweets!

Chef x

Leslie, Glenrothes

there were these bars which (I think) were pineapple flavour (a bit like a wham bar but yellow). Had fizzy bits in it. I can’t remember the name of them but haven’t seen them in years.

Don’t know the first three but frying pans were the wee foil trays on a stick with toffee apple candy? Remember the tobacco and sweetie cigarettes it was in a packet like a real cigarette packet and they were chocolate inside

Lucky tatties were nice too

Mintolas. I think they then got rebranded as mint munchies.

My favourite was Crispets. I bought them by the 1/4 after getting paid for my paper round. They were oval chocolate with coconut through it.

Used to love a Mint Cracknel. Mind you some of those shards could lacerate your tongue if you weren't careful. Or a Golden Cup. Loved a sherbet dip too ...suffered the liquorice to get to the good stuff. All washed down with a glass of Cremola Foam. My Dad used to call it "gut rot". Think he was probably right!

You can buy creamola foam, apparently the recipe was lost but someone reverse engineered it, gets sold as Krakatoa Foam now, but it’s like a fiver a tub lol
