We have no doubt covered this before but we cant all be original can you?
Caramac.
I just saw it mentioned and it bought childhood (the better parts of it anyway) back in a sugar powered rush.
I havent seen it in a shop for yonks but it seems you can still get it.

If we are getting into childhood confectionery I'm afraid Caramac wasn't around when I was a nipper ~ Fry's Five Boys Chocolate bars were though ~ now they were something worth getting.

Aztec choc bars had the most ridiculous ad campaign confused:

you can get Caramac bars from ASDA

Cadbury's tribute to the inventors of chocolate lasted ten years. The Cadbury Aztec--named after the ancient Mesoamerican culture thought to have first used cocoa--was introduced in 1968. By 1978, the bar was itself consigned to history The Aztec was a chunky nougat and caramel bar, not unlike the Mars Bar.

Agreed. Very evocative indeed.

I remember Double Diamond and Bobby Moore.
I was p*ssed on DD and the euphoria of England, Captained by Bobby Moore, winning the World Cup in 1966 when I suggested (proposed is far too strong a word) to Mrs S#1 that we should get married. The following day I could remember only the World Cup win ~ unfortunately she remembered the other bit. noooo:

Wasn't even a party. We were on leave from the RAF and went to visit her family. I got p*ssed with her father before and during the match which we watched on TV. I spoke of marriage, apparently, shortly after the final whistle as we returned to the pub. surrender:

Everlasting strip... I forgot about those. So how much would a "penny arrow(sp) bar" cost these days?
I remember most of those mentioned here, a favourite of mine was Bar Six. Strangely enough, I spotted large bars of Nestles Crunch in Sainsburys last night, I'd not seen them for years. A woman grabbed six of them eeek:

What about sherbet fountains with the liquorice straw?
-
Can you still get them?
-
The liquorice straw that got clogged up before you'd got halfway down the sherbet so you had to tip the rest of the sherbet into your mouth and damn near choke to death on it ~ yes I remember those.
Nick ~ yes you can. Saw boxes of them in Makro last week
