I miss them so much

Elite level Crisps them.

Had these the other week and they were similar and very good.

Girls with Curly Wurly's .... or failing that, Marathon bars. WTF are Snickers? Some Yankee conspiracy IIRC

Wasn't it Cresta with the Polar Bear?

It was Cresta and originally it was a Cream based drink marketed by Schweppes It was great but the problem was, the cream curdled on supermarket shelves and the product was unsellable / undrinkable. Later became just a standard fizzy drink. (uninteresting fact, I used to work for schweppes in those days when they were at 66 Long Lane)

The Alpine pop man did a blag american cream soda that was passible

Alpine to me was Cherryade. Contained 1 cup of pop because the glass was an inch thick

These are the closest you will get to them, different texture but very very good

I will be bulk buying these later. Cheers @longers

What about the shops that sold sweets by weight. "quarter of chocolate nibbles/rhubarb and custard/Choc Crumble please. I know there's some niche shops knocking about now, but the prices are shocking. You could go in with your measly pocket money back in the day, come out with a huge bag of sweets and still have a bit to spend.

Oh, and the shops that used to slice the cooked meat, and sell cream cakes and what not.

Miss all that.

The Confectioners at the Belfast Folk and Transport Museum still sells sweets by weight.

Used to take your fillings out

Liquorice Toffees do that to me. An amazing sweet with horrific consequences.

Probably a Northern Ireland thing, but does anyone remember Barry McGuigan crisps. Also available in Nettle flavour.

Saw them in Sainsbury's, was a real pleasure and thought straight away about the Brannigans crisps. Got a good kick to them.

The original Milo bar chocolate. Utter criminality it was stopped. Still fuming 30 years later
