Old English Spangles
Bandit(biscuits)
Cabana Choc Bars

Anyone think of any sweets, biscuits, foodstuffs of any kind that are not around anymore that used to be good?

We have dipdabs in our local newspaper shop and in our sainsburys.

If you google old fashioned sweets you will find that most of these are available to buy online  -  even Caramac!

Caramac, yum.  Golden cups - my dad would buy me one every weekend with my comic, Bimbo, as a treat.
Spangles - all varieties
Glees
Original Milky Ways - ones nowadays are pants!
Coffee Walnut Whips - yum yum
Parmena biscuits (they were like cheddars, but way better)
Opal Mints
Sure I'll think of more.

You can still get Jublies, Susan, I used to love the firewater flavoured ones( goodness knows what that was!) But they are very small now. The ones we used to get were enormous.
