I really fancy a wagon wheel.

[tiggerblue10]

There was a chocolate wafer bar with a coating of chopped nuts and chocolate on top called Banjo when I was little. Loved those but think they were discontinued in the early 80s.

[Atheist]

Sharon; if you want a Wagon Wheel (which were, incidentally, really as big as real wagon wheels in the sixties) then pop round to the Royles' house some time.

[-SharonA-]

Thanks for the heads up atheist!

[Barsel]

If I had a heavy bottomed pan, I'd make that cinder toffee.
Used to love it.
Used to love cough candy as well.
Anyone remember that?

[Atheist]

Cough candy! We all neded that in the olden days! Together with beef tea, Virol, tar fumes from the tar vats in the cobbled streets, and Uncle Joe's mint balls.

[david small]

A boost bar. Way too sweet.

[cashier]

My Auntie Flo used to have Connie Onnie sandwiches, had condensed milk in tea too!

[Maydup]

Fry's Chocolate Cream, but with the different centre in each bite. Strawberry, lime, orange, vanilla and lemon. Remember?

[Atheist]

I remember it well, Maydup. And Fry's Five Boys!

[cashier]

I stopped liking it Maydup when they changed the fondant.

[Atheist]

Used to buy a bar on the way home from mass, and also bought a penny ice-lolly and a small bottle of orange squash to mix up a v chilly sweet drink to help get over the pre-communion fastin.

Bar 6 and Terry's Waifa bar were my favourite biscuits,pineapple chunks sweet wise.

[maggiebee]

Think cinder toffee is what we call puff candy up here. Used to like a cabana.
