As a boy I loved a Caramac bar.

a caramel-flavoured chocolate bar with an red and yellow wrapper. It was delicious. It was axed by Nestlé after 60 years due to declining sales.

Marathon bars, which became Snickers, don’t seem the same now. Zoom ice lollies, Banjo bars with peanuts, Caramac bars, a more recently discontinued snack, and fruit-flavoured Polos, which were a nice alternative to the mint ones. Does anyone remember Pacers?

i cant think of anything that i grew up with that is not available now, it might change in 10 or so years though. i think its the trouble with time, things become unpopular or forgotten, maybe not even marketed well and then they go.

@Robbie

You can still get Caramac Buddy. I bought one from my local Bargain Buys store a few weeks ago, if you have a Bargain Buys store near you, go and have a look, you just might get a nice surprise.

Things I Miss from when I was a Kid which you don't see very often in Shops. Mojo chews, Fruit Salad Chews, Black Jack Chews all costing one old penny for four Chews. Spangles, Lucky Bags, Sherbet Dib Dabs or fountains. Liquorice Sticks (they were that hard you could break your teeth on them.) There's bound to be more, but I'll have to think about them. This Topic could end up like your Quirky TV Series from the 60's & 70's.
