It was a milk chocolate coating over toffee filling. The bar was long and narrow with an undulating top.

Post by: loulou on July 07, 2009, 12:35:54 am: I agree. With a name like punch i'd expect something better than choc coated toffee.

Sorry GC. I wasn't thinking of Golden Cup though. I was thinking of it being chewy toffee like a Curly Wurly, only thicker.

With a name like Punch, I kind of expected a fudgey bar with a slight rum flavour or a creamy filling of giner and raisin or something.

Incidently, I think there was also a Fry's Judy Bar but I think it went out of production years before Punch did.

Title: Re: Old Fry's Bars Pictures
Post by: drterror666 on July 21, 2009, 06:21:59 pm: AFAIK, yes, they do. It's probably one of the only choccies that nearly tastes as good as the old stuff. I think Five Centres bought the farm, though.
