Hi all, sorry have not been on for ages. As you can tell from my name, I too would kill for a Mint Cracknell again Old Spice.

I've really missed you guys, chatting about choc. etc. sorry not to have been on more regularly. Will try harder. I've just given reviews of Melts (dark) and petitioned to bring back the good old wispa bar. Although I'm liking the Aero truffle at the moment.

speak to you all soon, MC

Chocolate just isnt as innovative as it used to be i liked all the odd bar shapes/ names/ flavours etc. Now its all just dairy milk "with" bla! *yawn*

I agree with you there. Such a shame that people aren't interested in different flavours anymore.

I loved the Lime Cracknells too. And I would KILL for a pack of Opal Mints.

I want to be on that programme, Life on Mars, and step into the TV, visit a shop and come back with a bag containing Amazin Raisin Bars, Cabanas, Milk Tray Bars, Mint and Lime Cracknells, JellyMellow Bars, Opal Mints and Toffee and Mallow Eggs. There's be Goldencups for GC, boxes of Weekend for Lou and I'll take orders from all you youngsters who don't remember all these wonderful things.

When did they stop making them? I remember having some in the mid 90's.

Woolworths bought the rights to them and produced them exclusively in the mid nineties.

So the Spangles with the question marks on the wrapper were not a figment of my imagination

"There are many nostalgic refrences to them on Internet message boards
from children who grew up with them in the sixties and seventies, now
middle-aged."
