I was never Eeyore - sorry!


Re. previous post - no, I did not make a mistake.  I bought enough of them for goodness sake.  (BTW I have never heard of "Bradbury's".)  As I have said all along, this product (of the late 1980s) was from the Caramel family, just like 'Marble' (which definitely existed too) but the filling was a fine currant and sugar crystal paste.  Actually, I remember when Caramel was first introduced in the 1970s, with free samples being given out in the supermarket, so by the '80s I was quite familiar with shape of the product and the one-piece foilized paper wrapper (as opposed to purple foil with a paper sleeve, or one-piece plastic like today's).  Without being rude I suspect that at 36 I am a little older than you, but this does not mean that I have lost my marbles or become senile or confused or anything like that.  (How old are you, Smurfboy?)  Of course, this may have been a lower-profile product of regional or limited availability, just like Spira is today.  It certainly wasn't available in all shops.  But to the doubters on here I am sure that one day I will prove you all wrong! ;)

I'm 26, and I wasn't calling you senile - anyone of any age can make a mistake.

Hi,


I realise that - no offence taken.  In fairness, there's a remote chance that it may have been called Sunfruits (as opposed to Sunfruit) but the general description stands.  Some research on my part has found that it could have been manufactured by Cadbury in Ireland and imported to the UK.  That would explain a lot.

I don't doubt you cleverdick. The bar does sound familiar and as I lived in London until the mid 80s I may have seen it there.

My reference to eeyore was simply that someone calling themselves that name mentioned the bar on Snackspot.

There was a bar called Bradbury's Sunfruit! Do you really think Cadbury's nicked the exact name? You made a mistake CleverDick, deal with it!


Right then - what's THIS?????????????


I agree the typeface is different, but then this must be an earlier version that I don't recall.

It's taken seven months but he was going to prove his point.


Glad you mind has been put at reat though cleverdick. As you are so good at finding obscure chocolate bars, could you find an old Cabana bar so we can find out who made it? Cadbury's deny ever having made it but we think differently.

Nestle list it as one of their discontinued bars, so I think it was Rowntree.

I must admit I thought that was a little bit tragic too...

The real tragedy is that they don't make it anymore!
