  Have to say the comment on Toffifee being 'near extinct' is pretty baffling to me, seeing as there's a few places you can easily get them in the UK like Poundland, Netto, Lidl (I think) so you just have to know where to look. Anyway, I always loved the strawberry Onken Fromage Frais when I was little & am always disappointed when I notice it isn't there anymore when I go in a supermarket.

  Noone else seems to remember these, but I always look back fondly on the 'Secret' bar. It was kind of whipped creamy stuff in the middle, with strands of chocolate wrapped around it! Yummm.

  Can you still get dime bars-not sure but i have not had one in ages, used to like them. Tomato kethcup flavoured crisps-they were yum even though i did not like tomato kethcup at the time. Also pickled onion flavoured monster munch they were also gorgeous-god i used to make sambos out of them. If my friends knew that ...........

  Love to be able to buy a Cabana bar again. It was a chocolate bar with cherries and coconut, sounds bit weird but it tasted vaguely tropical. think it was around in the Eighties. Have to confess to a weakness for Caramac bars too. Don't often see them, but there's something about them that hits the spot!

  I remember the 'Secret' bars too. They were very 'posh' in the eyes of a child and they had a piece of cardboard underneath the bar to stop it breaking into pieces. I think they were 50 irish pence.They were also super expensensive at a time when 10p bags of sweets and frosties got you more for your pocket money. Even if the frosties did cut the mouth off you..

  Mmmmm the memories! You can still get Toffifee round here (NW London) I am sure, places like Wilkos. The mention of Frosties made my mouth water - but it has to be the Kola ones, not the fruit. Had some recently when the other half found a shop selling them and bought me a load as he knew I loved them in school. Secret bars were gorgeous! I'd love to try them again now and see if I still like them as much - I don't know what it is, but often things are either not as good as they were first time round, or as 'grown ups' we just see them differently than we once did. Dimes are still around - but the name is now Daim. As for pickled onion monster munch - had some the other day and every bit as eye-wateringly tangy and gorgeous as ever- they've also made them bigger again, just how we remember them :)

  Creamola foam... definitely brings back childhood memories. We weren't allowed it as it was basically sugar and flavourings that you mixed with water and by some magic it got frothy and fizzy so I used to go into my next door neighbour for my fix. I think you could only get it in Scotland which could be why no-one remembers it.
