Title: Cello bar???
Post by: lilypead on January 25, 2010, 04:54:56 pm

Does anyone remember the Cello bar, circa mid 80's?

It was a thin bar of white chocolate studded with almonds and shaped just like the good old Milkybar, it came wrapped in foil, followed by a creamy coloured outer wrapper with red writing on it I think?!

Loved them, but dont think they were around for all that long :-(

Definitely a new one on me.  It may have been a regional thing.

Lilypead are you also known as poodle1977?  If not, somebody else seems to remember it.
While googling I came across a brilliant bag for me, bearing the legend 'Cellist - Will Play for Chocolate' which I just might have to order!  Unfortunately it wouldn't let me save the image.

Ha ha!!!  No I am poodle1977!!!!!!
Glad somebody else remembers the cello bar though :)
They were around in the late 80s for a very short space of time.  I seem to remember the wrapper was pink(?).  The product itself was a flat white chocolate bar which contained almonds and I think had the word 'Cello' inscribed in the chocolate.  They were very nice.

Well I thought they were nice :P
I guess they were a bit of an acquired taste though.  If I remember correctly, they were only around for a few months...

Why do you say such a cruel thing. Cabanas were lovely. May Stuart haunt you in the night for being nasty.
