Ha, yes, that’s why I didn’t have them. Cube shaped.

Dipped flakes I loved, remember those.
Now they’re twirls I think.

Does anybody remember choc dip? It was a little pot with a chocolate dipping sauce and it came with some finger biscuits to dip in the chocolate. I thought it was brilliant but if you think about it, the actual chocolate bit was tiny! ;D

Yes, I remember them. You can still get them in some places.

Rum and raisin chocolate bars. Old Jamaica I think it was called. My dad loved it.

I saw B&M sell choc dip when I looked online.

I never tried Old Jamacia chocolate. Do you remember cherry drops? They were so nice.

I just saw you can still get the same flavour in Bournville.

Cherry drops and barley sugar were yum.

I liked cough candy but I hear it was unpopular.  :-X

Cough candy. My Nan liked that. I wouldn’t touch it, thought it was just for people with coughs.  ;D
Although, she didn’t have a cough.  ::)  ;D
