Can anyone remember Harlequins, in a box like Roses and Quality Street, they were chocolates with cream centres, strawberry/orange/vanilla/coffee and my favourite, lime. Also Cadburys used to do a bar of chocolate with roses flavours in the seperate squares. toffee barrel/strawberry others and I remember a lime one there, but it didn't last long. And the other things I remember were Showboats. bought individually. they were chocolate cups, oval or square, with sponge in the bottom, and a topping of yellow or pink butter icing with a sugar sweet on...they were covered with cellophane... |

Reading this, it's ever likely that British Dentistry is buckling under the weight of demand ! |

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 |

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 |
