Do You Remember...

Highland Toffee? They still make it!

We're also looking for Everlasting Toffee but we can't remember if that was a real sweet or just one of the delights in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

love our cartoons?

They’re drawn especially for us by superstar cartoonist Colin Whittock.

He used to work on Whizzer and Chips - the comic that inspired the look of A Quarter Of...

His cartoons appear all over the website. Aren't they fab???

whatever happened to texan bars?

Remember the advert on TV? A Clint Eastwood style cowboy in a spot of bother, captured by some sombrero wearing outlaws. One asks the cowboy, "A last request gringo?"

The cowboy asks for a Texan bar. He chews on it laconically (love that word!) and it takes him so long to eat it that the baddies fall asleep and he escapes!
texan bars

"Texan... sure is a mighty chew."

Texans made a very brief, limited edition re-appearance in 2005 but we fear they have now gone for good.

A Seventies Classic

Talk about a sweet becoming an instant legend.

Did anyone in your class used to eat it in lessons? Opening their mouth as it crackled so everyone could hear... until the teacher looked up and silence was restored?
