Do you by any chance remember the old Galaxy chocolate drops? They used to come in a white packet with a picture of a giraffe on. From my memory – this was maybe 30 years ago – they were glossy and more rounded that the Cadbury’s buttons. I think the packet was ‘landscape’ shape rather [...]
Galaxy Counters
Can you please tell me the name of 70′s chocolates in a white bag with a camel on the front. They were shaped like flat revels or minstrels but without the shell on. Many thanks. Beverley
At the sake of stirring up controversy, I seem to remember there were originally 3 varieties of Treats: yes, the one everyone remembers are the peanut treats in the yellow bag; there was also a chocolate saucer-shaped version in a brown bag – the forerunner of Galaxy Counters; plus there was a toffee version, shaped [...]
Fabulous website – my mum’s a fan too! But whatever happened to chocolate tools (they used to be 2p each in the late 1970s!) and Golden Cup caramel – and my all-time favourite, Galaxy Counters?!

Hi there, Just wondering whatever happened to Galaxy Counters? They were slightly smaller than the counters you get in Revels and came in a wee white bag with I think either a Camel or a Giraffe on the front. Thanks for your help. Kind regards. Sandie
Do you know what happened to Galaxy counters?
Hi I used to love Galaxy Counters they were solid discs of chocolate and used to be in a white bag with a giraffe on the front or something, they are still about in revels but you may get one per bag, is there any still around by the bag full? Kind regards Sharon
Have you any idea why Galaxy don’t still; make the choclaate counters they used to? I loved them. I think there was a picture of a camel on the bag? Thanks, and the website and choice you offer are fab. Regards Karen
So, whatever happened to Galaxy counters, The ‘herb Garden’ – (Parsley the lion) – bars, and Golden cups? Yours interested…. Louisa
For ages now we have been trying to find Galaxy Counters. Is it possible you can start selling them again. They were fab
Small disc shaped shiney chocolate drops, white packet with animals on it…..
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 – [...]

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!
Tracy remembers: -

PB remembers: -

Fantastic!!!!!
FD remembers: -
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.
Wendy remembers: -
At last – my husband thinks I’m mental. I remember these as well and they were gorgeous. Couldn’t remember the name of them!! I wish they would bring them back – Minstrels are fab but think I prefer these!
