Treats

by michaelp

Why ever did they discontinue ‘Treats’ (I think this is the proper spelling) and replace with those awful coloured coatings around peanuts. The old Treats were much better, wasn’t it something like ‘the sweet that doesn’t melt in your hand’ – a chocolate covered peanut but crunchy coating not like the bland chocolate covered peanuts of today.

The nearest thing to Treats these days are peanut M&Ms, though I remember Treats being bigger and always available in big bags at the cinema (before multiplexes in the early 80′s)
