Milky Way bars when they were similar to Mars Bars, and not with the white vanilla filling.2

From Wiki ...GoOnYouHaddocks said:
No, it was a chocolate bar. Ironically, I think the advert had a guy, who had forgot the name of it, trying to describe it to the shopkeeper ("It's chewy, no, It's crunchy". Or something like that).NorthheathAddick said:GoOnYouHaddocks said:Aztec and Fuse bars were lovely. I remember losing a tooth eating a Toffo.
Anyone remember the chocolate bar that had an advert tag line something like "It's chewy, It's crunchy"? I've been wracking my brain trying to think of it. It was a kind of a cereal/nougat/nutty thing.
This maybe...?
There also existed a 'Double Decker – Nuts' launched in 2004, which had the advertising slogan "crispy, crunchy, chewy and nutty". This chocolate bar was essentially a Double Decker with nuts contained within the nougat layer; however, it has since been discontinued.
I think maybe, possibly Willie Rushton did the original advert - without the nutty bit of course - as he sadly died in 1996.1 -
Used to love the beef curry. Didn't Vesta used to do a beef risotto also around the 80's/ early 90's?Leroy Ambrose said:

Can confirm - tastes exactly like they did 35 years ago 😁
Also miss Tooty Fruties(Not with the beef curry)0 -
These were lovely but I seem to remember scratching my gums on the peanuts on the outside in my haste to wolf them down.

Weight Watchers Spaghetti and Meatballs.

That's it, Double Decker. My sanity thanks you, it's been driving me mad trying to remember the name.Raith_C_Chattonell said:

Mmmmm, Double Decker. I really want one now.2 -
not that i miss them but i remember chocolate cigarettes as a kid. came in proper cigarette style packaging.
it was said they encouraged young kids to start smoking. if anything i would of thought they would put kids off as they tasted fucking rank.6 -
They always had a little comic strip inside and an opportunity to collect them and get x-ray specs or something similar along with postage. I always itended to but never actually got anything although I ate a lot of them. Did anybody? I suspect they were immensely cheap poor products.NorthheathAddick said:I’m pretty certain that the 1st piece of bubblegum I was allowed to have by me parents back when I was wee lad was Bazooka Joe,don’t think I’ve seen them around for yonks,if they actually still do them...did buy a Bazooka Joe T shirt a couple years back for the nostalgia...

Proper jubblys not these poor relations sold today, the ones that took three hours to consume and when you drank the last drop of juice at the bottom of the carton it was so concentrated it had kick like a cheap scotch.6

Caffreys used to love it when it first came out onto the market. Lost 3 bank cards in a cash machine one night after a gallon of it and needed some more cash, couldn’t remember my pin No. Think they made it weaker after a while.i_b_b_o_r_g said:Carling Premier and Caffreys2 -

Bean Roundas (rounders?) from the chip shop in Lee Green in the 80's. Baked beans in sausage meat in breadcrumbs deep fried. I seem to recall they were the dogs b*llocks.

Carling is disgusting stuff BUT Carling premier was majestic. No idea why they discontinued that I distinctly remember having my first pint of it courtesy of a token in loaded magazine in the command house pub Chatham circa 1998
Me and my mate spent all of our limited funds on the stuff that glorious summers day2 -

Drank far too many Caffreys one night in the Falcon at Clapham Junction. This was before it went on general sale in the weaker form. Very sore head in the morning.guinnessaddick said:
