Child Of The 1980's

Two chocolate bars I’d love to see again were Novo (top half chocolate, bottom half oat bar) and Delight (had a creamy filling, pastel pink and blue silvery wrapper, and was made by the same company who make Dime bars).

Who remembers Mammoth Straws? They were tall, large, lenghty, thin inedible straws (made of plastic, of course) with differently coloured fruit flavoured sherbet crystals (the different colours depended on the flavour of the sherbet).

You had to rip off the square paper on the height of the straws and then had to suck the sherbet crystals out of the straws; for that matter, who remembers the box these straws came in?

The box was tall, thin, large and lengthy, was made of cardboard, was 3D, was yellow and had no lid. It said ‘MAMMOTH STRAW’ in block capitals (written vertically) [because mammoth can mean ‘incredibly large’].

The box had four corners and each corner had four different professional cartoon drawn people of a rugby player, a clown, a skier and a magician.
All their legs were the same size and length of the straws (and the box) and they all wore white trousers with differently coloured vertical stripes.

I so miss this box. Who still has it?

Thanks for answering my questions Big Boo; that definitely WAS steam coming out of the lemon and orange wafer filled bars. Though I unfortunately still don’t know how the STEAM was able to made in the bars and come out of them when you bit off one of the pyramid segments of the bars.

Anyway, do you remember the box I described? I doubt you HAVE it (rest assured that I’m emphasising ‘was’ and ‘have'; not shouting them).

If you still HAD that box, I could tell you where to send it to.

Nestle secred bars – had some gooey marshmallow type stuff inside with chocolate strands wrapped like a cage around – really miss them, but yeah, the pyramint , back then a usual chocci bar was like 15 to 23p, but these were between 50 & 60p so expensive – but they would sell nowadays – or they could make a bar or mini ones

At last! Someone else remembers Delights! I did worry i’d made them up in my head! Didn’t the advert have Ted Bovis out of Hi De Hi in it?

I also used to love Pyramints, Secrets (which sat on a cardboard platform as they were very friable and easily broken, but utterly delicious) and Novo bars.

But I would sell my soul for one more Delight bar! 😀

Pyramints were made by cadbury’s not terry’s

i have just seen a picece in the sun newspaper and remember pyramint and i wish that terry’s would bring them back cuz i know i would buy them thats the only dark chocolate that i would eat PLEASE TERRY’S BRING THEM BACK!

what a chocolate!! still remember buying pyramint, the dark green cardboard packaging!! i used to tell my dad to buy it for me from texas (hardware store).

good times!

Also does anyone remember 1p fizz bombs? used to come in a plastic jar with a spapce ship on the front sticker, came in four flavours, cant remember them though, there used to be a deep red colour, blue, yellow and orange
