  • We can't get enough of our favourite chocolate treats, so it's always sad when these favourites are no longer available and lost to that big chocolate shop in the sky. The sequel to 10 Lost Chocolate Bars You Wish Would Come Back takes a nostalgic look back at more legendary chocolate products we all enjoyed in days gone by.
    If you remember getting a Cadbury's Bar Six from the vending machine of your local swimming pool or enjoying a Terry's Pyramint at Christmas, it's likely this nostalgic video is for you.

    I can remember Bar Six & I was born in the 80s, you mainly got them in cafes. My mum worked in distribution for Terry’s & everybody hated loading Pyramint s in pallets for lorries, especially if they burst! I also remember Golden Cup but that was the bigger more expensive one you showed, I usually got the smaller oblong one.
    One I liked was Cadbury’s Silk. It was 5 small chocolates filled with a strawberry mousse, mid 90s. Also, bring back proper Time Outs with a Flake Centre!

    Wow - that Pyramint advert with the mummy and Kenneth Williams at the end brought back a long-lost memory! I also loved Cadbury's Country Style - pinky/red and white Gingham wrapper containing chocolate with biscuit and raisin. For some reason I thought there was a picture of a milkmaid with milk pans on the wrapper, but that doesn't seem to be on the internet so I may have dreamt that up (I was very young - I think it was probably phased out by the late 70s) I liked Galaxy Counters too with the pictures of the animals on the wrapper. Thanks for this video - so many chocolates that have gone - and memorable adverts eg Topic.

      @@gilgammesh1 Manufacturers worked out that confectionary is more sensitive to price than volume. Customers have a firm sense of what 10p, 30p, 50p, etc, represents as a spend, and resist going beyond it. However, ingredient costs are subject to inflation, so they make sweets and chocolate smaller, or put less in the same size bag. This is harder to pin down because as we grow things appear smaller, and we can't rely on our memory. As money devalues, we develop a misplaced sense of price in "the good old days". For example 20p in 1971 is £3.60 in 2023, and 10p is £1.80!

      Yes Lovell’s (who were Welsh) are long defunct, hence all their bars have been discontinued (their best bars were their self-explanatory bars - called ‘Lovell’s’, Top Ten, the one you said - Milky Lunch, and Big Match, in addition to - I think they did like a cake bar, that resembled their distinct nougat bar filling, called ‘Cheeky Devil’). We’ll never know *why* Lovell’s went into administration (they didn’t last too long post-2000, and were, undoubtedly, completely gone, by 2003) [although, for some reason, I saw their ‘Big Match’ bars, in a shop in Armagh, at the very beginning of September 2005, very shortly after my milestone 18th].

    Such fantastic memories!! We emigrated to Atlanta USA 🇺🇸 in 1985 but I have such fond memories of my parents and our chocolate 🍫 shop !✌️💙❤️
    I’m going to visit the UK 🇬🇧 at Christmas 🎅 so I’ll go and scoop some real cadburys and not the crap we have here 😅😂
    My absolute favourite bars as a kid in England were nutty bars, texan bar,amazing raisin, and treats 😅my dad loved topics and my mum loved terrys dark chocolate almonds and my sister loved quality street 💙❤️

    The Nutty bar was actually dropped because it was actually incredibly difficult to make with any consistency. The main problem was that the nuts kept dropping off the bar on the production line, which meant that quality control was dumping around 20% of each run (apparently the staff shop had massive bags of malformed bars available on the cheap for most of the time the bar was in production).
    Oh, and the one thing that I'd really love to see back isn't a bar but a box: Terry's 1767, the genuine king of all chocolate boxes - especially the version that they only seemed to do at Christmas with all the draws.

    Golden Cup had a really gorgeous taste, much better than Cadburys Caramel which in comparison is sweet, sickly and very bland, also Bar Six had a really amazing taste probably due to the cream in the wafer, KitKat taste nothing like them!

    Is it me, but is anyone else fed-up with boxes of chocolates all just tasting the same? I used to love the variety you used to get in a box. Creams, that actually were creams (not fondants), whole nuts, montelamar, so very many and to suit all tastes. Yes, the lime barrel, but also the pineapple cream in the Roses Christmas tin.
    It was a real treat. I used to love the butterscotch in black magic and the wafer in dairy box. I remember the box called Spartan too, I think it was a picture of Samson on it, it was all hard centres.
    All so lovely.

    What a trip down memory lane this was! I remember a good number of these including those vending machines and it's more like £1 than 20p for a choccy bar from an equivalent machine these days. I had no idea the Topic had been discontinued: a real shame, as I used to quite like those (although truth be told, I can't remember the last time I had one). Although the ad was great, the Pyramint was basically like an After Eight with thicker chocolate and loads more mint goo: not the best really. The Secret was pretty tasty from what I remember.
