Yes it was.  Sometimes an owl, but more usually a giraffe.

Thanks goldencup, I'm glad to know that I'm not
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.

Sadly I don't think toothache ever cures itself.  Good luck if you have to go - sometimes the apprehension is worse than the treatment.  And I don't think any treatment is as bad as really bad toothache.

My face has now swollen to double it's usual size, I
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.

I remember these on Galaxy Counters too.  Thanks Unknown man?  You've brought back my childhood memories. Loulou, these were around same time as Freddie the Frog and you remember him.

I just remember that creamy taste. However, I think I really like chocolate buttons best. The texture is better. Galaxy chocolate is a bit waxy.
