Can anyone remember the 1960's and sweets called Lucky Numbers? They were a chocolate and toffee selection, a bit like Roses, from what I can remember and you used to be able to buy them loose by the quarter pound. ;-))

Here's the theme tune for the advert although they were way before my time!!!! Cadbury's Lucky Numbers: Late 1950s Lucky Numbers, Lucky Numbers — chocolate and chew. I'll be lucky, you'll be lucky ... they'll be lucky too! X

I used to like Wham bars :) There's a few websites where you can still get the old sweets - my sister-in-law buys from them all the time lol Chocolate does keep for ages, so I don't know if they'd be stale. I've never seen one of those ones before lol
