BLACK BAT CHEW
Individuallt wrapped as I recall about 2-3 times the size of a Fruit Salad/Black Jack. Bi Coloured toffee? chew with a coloured stripe of flavour, Banana/Raspberry etc. I recall buying these mid/late seventies cost then I think was about 1-2p. More expensive than the above mentioned but seemed at the time to be as big as railway sleepers!!! and last for ages!!

Malt crumb
It was made from crushed maltesers and was the most divine powder ever! I still have dreams about it. Please make some more! I think it may have been one of these things where it was made almost by accident in the Mars factory where maltesers were accidentally crushed.

Nerds
They are fruit flavours and big chunky ones shaped into fruits i.e. bananas, apples etc

I think those were runts...
Posted by: maygay on October 14, 2006
Nerds are American, they are out of stock due to high demand on the american sweet shop websites at the moment...
It took a lot of searching, but I found them, shame I couldn't order any eh? rofl
I won't give the website as it's wrong to give out another website, but maybe a quarter of could speak to the americans and get a delivery sorted out? ;)
Thanks

There were nerds and dweebs and the fruit shaped ones were runts. I loved them. You can still buy them in america and theres a sweet shop in bluewater (kent) that sells them too. Kinda expensive tho as they import them.
