haha, me too, couldn't remember the name, however remember the animals.
Defo taste better than Revels, although I do know why some people mention them in the same breath. And certainly nothing like Milky Way Stars, they're awful.
They where my fav, along with Smarties.
God I wish they where still produced, late 70s for me too.............hehe.
Brilliant.

Galaxy version of Cadbury buttons but mega better. Came in great packets with different animal characters on them and a count the counters puzzle on the back.

Galaxy Counters
These must have been around towards the end of the 60s `cos I can remember buying them at the Off License at the co-op and I wouldn't have been allowed to go down the road on my own much before I was 6.
They were little circles of Galaxy, slightly domed on both sides - under half an inch across (smaller than a Cadbury's button!) and maybe 3/10 of an inch deep, covered in something slightly shiny which made them less likely to melt in your hand - a bit like the plain Revels but lots smaller. They were seriously nice.
Any ideas what happened to them.

I remember these well. I used to buy them all the time but galaxy wont package them up on their own anymore.. apparently you can find them in packets of revels.. but not the same :(

I also tell my children about these sweets, I have no idea what happened to them but they were lovely! They must have been around late 60's early 70's.
From memory the closest taste I can find is Milky Way stars. Someone said they are like what you find in Revels but thats not the taste that I remember.
Galaxy bring them back!

My god thats what they were!
I have been racking my brains for ever!
I remember eating them when I was little in the early 80's - the taste is something I still remember much creamier than buttons
We must lodge a campaign to Galaxy to bring them back!

My favourites sweets of all time! I remember eating them in 1978, just after Star Wars came out.
I remember the white packet with Animals on but couldn't remember the name. Now I know. (I love the internet)
Have only ever met one other person who can remember them!

I've been asking people if they remember these for years, they were lovely! Don't they still have them in bags of Revels?
I'd join a campaign to get them back :)
