Does anyone remember Lick-M-Aide???
Does anyone remember Lick-M-Aide (spelling?) ? It was packaged in an envelope (like KoolAid), and we would lick our fingers and stick them into the envelope. I remember grape, cherry, and lime flavors. This takes me back almost 50 years. Love your website. Have a great day!

Hi there,
Does anyone remember 'Moments' chocolate bars?
They were in a brown wrapper and were a hexagon shape with caramel center and a nut in the middle. They were lovely!!

Does anyone remember a Pyramint? To be fair they weren't really out that long but were lovely all the same. Dark chocolate shaped like a pyramid filled with white mint fondant!!!
Posted by: melanie on November 29, 2006
Yes, I remember pyramint! I LOVED them! Like a massive After Eight really.
And I remember the bubbly gum in cloth bags like gold nuggets. Thought it was from Canada, but I may be wrong. I was young, and a lot of my memories get muddled up!
Cola Rola balls anyone?

to the poster who said about the bubble gum like gold nuggets- i remember it very well think it was gold rush or something simular, even have a photo of me and my sister on holiday with our little bags of "gold" clearly hanging from our wrists :)

Hi,
I used to eat a chocolate bar that was shaped a bit like a larger Raspberry Ruffle (curved on top), that had a mint honeycomb centre that just dissolved with you put your tongue on it. I even managed to get one in the early '90s, but haven't seen them since then.
Any ideas what they were?

What happened to the trays of toffee plain /brazilnut/fruit& nut, I still have my little hammer with the words Blue Bird on it.
Posted by: Beyl on December 14, 2006
I remember Lick-m-Aid! (Although this is going back 20 years, not 50.) And I remember the gold-nugget gum which came in a little bag.
Does anyone remember Bottle-Caps? Mmmmm. My favourite!
Posted by: Crystal on December 18, 2006
Does anyone remember Sensations, in mint or butterscotch. Ooh, can't you remember the shell cracking and the chocolate oozing out!!!
Posted by: Becki on December 19, 2006
Those little gold nuggets of gum were called gold rush and they were fab, I used to eat loads of them and the little bags they came in, I used for my Barbies - how times change. i would love to see and eat them again Fab.

Does anyone remember Cadburys Lucky Numbers? I think they must have been around in the late 60s. They were chocolates in a tin like Roses but each wrapper contained a number and if you got certain numbers you won a prize. Everyone at work thinks I've made this up but I remember my Mom winning a picnic set.

There used to be small some fruit shaped hard candy sweets. If I remember correctly, they came in a small box like Nerds. Can anyone remember what they were called?
Posted by: candy kid on December 26, 2006

Wish they would bring them back just so I can prove I was not wrong.

Does anyone know where I can get some yummy Cola Chews please? They were bright pink round boiled sweet with a boobly surface and a dark brown stripe going through it and a chewy cola flavoured centre. These were the best sweets ever and I was totally addicted to them until selling sweets from the jar was phased out. If I had known that they would prove so hard to find (in fact impossible) I would have saved up my pocket money like mad and bought up every last jar and spent years trying to recreate them. Everyone I went to school with remembers these, not just because I always had a 1/4 pound in my blazer pocket but because they were DELICIOUS. But now if you look on the internet it's as though they never existed!!!

Does anyone remember those gorgeous 'creamy pies'?
They were a cup cake shape and made of a type of wafer, filled with lovely white creamy type marshmallow (but better!)and topped with a layer of milk chocolate.

Posted by: Hannah on February 8, 2007
They were little sweets shaped like bricks, different colours, I can't remember for the life of me what they were called, not bricks with circular holes in I'm talking the pyramid type dip in the brick.
Can anyone remember them and what they were called?
Ice bomb??

'Would you risk it for a Swisket?' - does anyone remember these? The only thing I can remember about them is the advertising slogan!

This is to all the people who have been looking for hazelnut whirls. I finally got fed up with searching both the internet and the shops for these chocolates so i e-mailed Cadburys and asked them. They said due to 'changing times' and 'lack of public demand' they know longer sold them separately. However, you can still find one or two in Roses boxes if your lucky!
Sorry to post the sad news

What ever happened to Keiler Buttered Chocolate?
Posted by: n stanley on February 17, 2007
Hey Shareen! I remember Gold Rush! But thankyou for reminding me of it's name!! Was it a cloth bag? I thought it was a plastic bag with a drawstring top, once you had opened them. Not seen these since the seventies.
Posted by: Jay on February 18, 2007
the bubbly gum shaped like little golden nuggets in a cloth bag was called gold rush they were great
Posted by: angie smith on February 19, 2007

Can anyone tell me where I can find 'fizz bombs'? I'm only 31 so not that long ago when I say I can emember them from when I was little. They were small red hard sweets that were a bit tart but chewy right in the middle but got a bit sickly when you ate too many!

Just to let Becca know I was able to get FLUFF in Sainsbury's so you could try there - Good Luck although I think the flavour they had was plain old vanilla.

Does anyone remember the sugar mice with the string tail?
Reading all these comments are bringing back some many great memories.
Posted by: Carrie on March 12, 2007
Evelyn, I remember Cremola Foam!
I used to buy it, on holiday in the Isle Of Skye!
It disappeared about 10 years ago. Such a shame, i loved it!
It went fizzy when you added water, and I used to love the raspberry flavour.
I'll never forget my sister throwing up the stuff, pink foam was coming from her nose.
Don't let that put you off though ;)
