I don't remember the advert. How old are you 623058? Are you old enough to remember these adverts because I thought Galaxy counters had not been around for about 20 years now - or is my memory failing me?

Having looked on Google, somebody else was obviously of the same opinion!
Quote - think they had numbers on them and in fact there was a Galaxy Counter TV advert that got many complaints where kids were showing what numbers they'd got and one couldn't make up his mind if it was a 6 or a 9. He get turning it upside down and saying "69 69 69". This caused a lot of giggling when I was at school!

they are still not around as the Revels ones are nice as they do not
have the sugar shell on.

completely insane yet. I do feel very light headed,
probably due to all the cotton wool soaked in vodka
I've had against my poorly tooth though. At least the
pain's diminished, I hope it goes away completely
and I won't have to go to the dentist's tomorrow.

don't think this is going away. At least I've stopped
crying now. The pain has lessened but the
anticipation and apprehension is driving me to
distraction.

Yes and it was that lovely white shiny plastic packet they came in I loved!
I'd forgotten til I read this that they were called counters.
Another on the list to bring back!

Galaxy Counters featured several animal characters including Olly Owl, Percy Pelican, Geoffrey Giraffe, and Clive the Camel.
Certain numbers were also printed on the packets as well (a big red "1" next to Olly, if I remember back 34 years ago!!) and on the back, you were asked if you could help the character to count how many counters he had on him.
