Foods/Candies that No Longer Exist

[The Nameless]

I remember that Smith's crisps (potato chips to non brits) started making plain, unflavoured crisps with a little blue sachet of salt. This was in the late 80s/early 90s as a retro throwback to the 50s/60s.

I remember when I was a kid (late 80s) there was a bar of toffee in a deep foil cup about 5 inches long or so, called gold bullion. It cost 10p and it was gorgeous, and probably responsible for many trips to the dentist for kids. Now though, it's disappearance has been so complete that I can't even find a picture of it on Google.

This reminded me of a delivery truck that used to drive around our neighborhood when I was a kid, delivering "Charles Chips." He was kind of like the milkman, but he sold chips. Weird.

I loved fizzy drink tablets, only I didn't put them in water. I would put them on my tongue! As hoss said, I'm a rebel.

Cool. Got to dust off the credit card. Really want to try the Anise Bears and Fizzies again. But I think I'll skip the taffy and keep my filling intact.

I remember doing that. If I recall correctly it would be a better wake up jolt than several cups of coffee in the morning now.

I miss Callard & Bowser's toffee (in hard candy form) and butterscotch.
They rot your teeth on contact but oh, what a way to go.

I miss Graham Sandwich chocolate bars and a local treat called Sinkers. They were made of soft cookie like pastry and filled with a thick mixture of raisin, molasses, and cinnamon tasting filling. Staro would probably remember those.

We never got that over here (not that I can remember anyway), just coca cola's tab clear.

I still haven't been able to track down any Flake Noir bars, it's been over a year now... guess my boys were right.
Silly Cadbury NZ...

Marathon bars in the UK were what snickers bars are now, they changed the name in the early 90s. That shaped chocolate bar has always been a curly wurly.

That is so cute! I just showed this picture to Andy and he got a big smile on his face and said "Of course I did" when I asked if he had ever had one.

Anyone ever have these back in the old days?

 

[DiO'Bolic]

New Coke.

Yuck!

These are still available where I live - do Americans get potato chips in a box down there? Maybe I will bring a few boxes to Ohio this summer.
