i used to get them all the time when i used to go to the sweet shop with my friends when i was in first school and then one day they just weren't there anymore and it was the only shop i knew of that sold them .


im sure they were called a Ventura and they were long and they had mint and orange and maybe another flavour. They were in a shiny packet i think with a man on the front.


i would LOVE to see a picture of one or find out if they are still around.

These wouldn't happen to be non-chocolate, perchance?

I think it's because no one remembers them. Perhaps they were a regional thing or perhaps we're all just too old to have been buying them on the way to school at the same time as you?

Or perhaps it's someone playing silly buggers again?

Define 'interesting'...


Why were you so rude? I replied, BK replied, Oldspice replied... if no one has heard of these bars then that's that! Would you have preferred us to make it up?
