This part appears to be missing from the above on screen.
Couldn't agree more old spice. Especially on the ginger fondant bar.

I don't much like white chocolate for the same reason.Couldn't agree more old spice. Especially on the ginger fondant bar.I love chocolate with ginger - I'd especially like to see a ginger fondant bar. Waitrose do a nice ginger truffle bar.I miss Amazin bars and mint cracknell. I miss the days when there was more choice across chocolate bars and fillings in boxed chocolates. I'm bored with caramels, bicuit/wafer combinations and truffles and pralines.

My preference is for full flavours combined with chocolate e.g. rum or ginger. I prefer plain chocolate to milk chocolate and find white chocolate too sweet and sickly for my palate. It is all down to personal preference and we are fortunate that with such a diversity of chocolate products available there is sure to be something to suit almost everyone.

Old Products / Old Jamaica
« on: August 20, 2007, 12:07:46 am »Thanks in part to this website i have found a source for my all time favourite chocolate bar "Old Jamaica".
I had noticed quite a few contributors to the site mentioning a company called Cyber Candy and what they had in stock. I thought i would take a look and Hey Presto there it was! Available in 55g and 250g sizes. What a result! Order placed.
It is a great pity that Old Jamaica is no longer available in most shops. Presumably either a down turn in sales or an increase in production costs saw its demise and withdrawal by Cadburys thus depriving the great chocolate buying public of a real gem.
However with the recent reintroduction of the Wispa bar then i suppose all hope is not lost for others.

Thank goodness somebody else remembers it as well!!!! I have had a few blank looks when i've mentioned it before.
It was my favourite chocolate bar of the time satisfying my life long fondness for rum flavouring. I remember it as being a single bar somewhere between the size of a Milkyway and a Mars bar and wrapped in foil covered paper. Mind you sometime the memory plays tricks!
Talking of rum flavouring what about a campaign to bring back Old Jamaica probably the best chocolate bar ever.

If memory serves correctly this would be made about 1970 or thereabouts.
