Remember all those Chocy's or even Toffee's ya used to love & then they vanished, never to be seen. Or even, you spend 10 years buying the same sweets to find out they've changed their name.............!!

'Can I have a packet of opal fruits please?'

'WHAT!'

'Packet of opal fruits??'

'Oh, you mean 'STARBURST', come on lad get with the times!!'

Anyway, one of mi favourite chocy's that I never see now, and why they got rid of it is beyond me, coz the other 2, are no way near as good, is, or should I say was..... Orange Aero !! YUM YUM! :p :p :p

Is there anymore long lost sweeties???????????? :spin:

Can u still buy "Rainbow Drops" sort of multi coloured puffed up candy type things a bit like sugarpuffs/rice crispies?....They RULED!.

Ill tel u wot I have noticed though, which deffo didnt happen when I was ikle, is that choc bars like aero and whatever are 'recessed' underneath!!!. It sort of concaves up inside so it looks bigger than wot it really is. Cheeky money grabbin choc steelin goin on there without a doubt. Grrrrr.:cops:
