1950s sweets

[moggie 939]

In the 50s there was a bar called Bandit (believe was a choc wafer? Nobody can remember it. Any ideas?

Also, I am convinced that at end of war/early 50s there were TWO different sized Mars Bars - one priced at 4 1/2 old pence and one at sixpence. Anyone?

Thanks

There was a bar called Bandit but it was withdrawn in the 1980's.

Bandit wafer biscuit covered in chocolate. Shiny red wrapping on.

I remember Bandits. Used to have them in my lunchbox.

i remember bandits very much like a blue ribbon biscuit the choc coating never tasted very chocolatey to me.

Must be getting old!I clearly remember both the Bandit bars a bit tasteless I seem to remember you needed good imagination to find the chocolate in those days! Mars bars did come in two sizes too but the smaller one was at least as big as todays offering!
