Am I the only person on God's Earth who remembers a chocolate bar from the early 60's called Bliss. It was about the length of a Picnic with about 6 segments. Each segment had a creme and walnut filling. I was gutted when they were discontinued.

Soor plooms (Scottish for 'sour plums') were grim, as were coconut mushrooms, Imps and Spanish root.
Black Magic chocolates.
I was on lunch break last week and decided to go to this British shop I haven't been to in years. I bought a Crunchie, a Terry's Chocolate Orange, a massive bar of Cadbury's, Cramel Wafers and various other treats. It's almost all gone! I'm enjoying the last of the Cadbury's with a glass of milk right now. Simple pleasures.
Milky Bar(s are on me!), sickly white chocolate disaster for babies.
Those yellow cardboard tubes of sherbert with a thick liquorice stick in it. Used to throw the liquorice stick away, suck up the sherbert straight into the lungs and, as an 8 year old, cough like a 70 year old miner with emphysema.
Aniseed balls & Tiger nuts were probably the worst ones growing up as a kid.
The best was a Penny Arrow which was a strip of thin toffee in a wrapper of different flavours.
Dolly Mixtures. Pick the jelly ones out and watch the rest become some kind of bad batch of heroin for sugar addicts!
Wham Bars.They'd take your teeth out better than any Dentist.
Lion Bars
Like eating gravel with chocolate mixed in
Drumsticks
Teeth breakers
Blimey guvner. Some right old Cadbury's Flakes in this thread.
One of my guilty pleasures used to be sucking a travel sweet.....
.....at home.
I used to love Turkish Delight
A few years ago I was walking through central London when I spied two gorgeous women dressed in flimsy clothes. They were standing outside a shop and holding trays of little coloured cubes that looked like they were dusted in sugar.
Great! Free sweets I thought.
I picked a pink one, popped it in my mouth, a quick chew and swallowed it.
I started feeling sick and had a horrible taste in my mouth then I realised that the women were standing outside a beauty shop and what I thought was Turkish Delight were small samples of perfumed soap.
I had to spend quite some time in a nearby pub to get reid of the taste.
Bons Bons…. although now I’ve just typed that they don’t look real. Have I made them up?
Kop Kops.
I win.
You’re welcome.
