Are you kidding? People have been waxing lyrical about the bar ever since the forum was set up! There's probably no picture in the discontinued section because no picture exists! Cadbury's have even forgotten they made it!

I think Cadbury's are in denial. If they don't admit to ever making it,
they are probably hoping that people will forget all about them!!

oh, i know that - what i mean is theres no way to cast a vote or anything... it needs to be in the discontinued section - if not in picture, then in spirit.

Everytime I manage to forget about Cabana someone mentions it again. I'll buy some cherries and coconut tomorrow and caramly stuff and I'll try to recreate it.

Lou - did your mum make some coconut ice for you? If you/she made some, you could stir glace cherries (or marachino cherries if you feel daring) into the mix and then, when the coconut ice is set, dip it in melted chocolate! Hey Presto - a Cabana bar!

Cadbury's have acknowledged that they made it in a reply to my email.  However, as they do not respond to public opinion they have no plans to bring it back, although they stopped short of saying that they would never bring it back.
