80's query
« on: May 08, 2010, 11:21:35 pm »
Does anyone remember the name of the chocolate bar that was a mix of milk and plain chocolate? - it was around 1983-85 ish.

Well, I can only think of Cadbury's Top Deck, although that's white and milk chocolate and is still around.  Old Jamaica was a mixture of milk and plain, but had rum in it.  I'll put my thinking cap on...

It could have been Frys Sandwich (two bars were available - two layers of milk chocolate with a plain layer in the middle or two layers of plain chocolate with a milk layer in the middle). However, I am unsure whether they were still around in the 80s.
Old but spicey!

I remembered it today - GAMBIT! It was around the same time as those horrible chewy sweet bars called WHAM - bright pink sticky stuff with spots of sherbet-y stuff - gave you toothache soon as look at it.

I found this:

A Gambit Bar was a chocolate bar of plain chocolate that came in about six sections and was lovely smooth chocolate. I think they weren't out for long and I remember them around 1984. They came in a deep red, purple wrapper.

They seem to ring a bell with me.

The sections of Gambits were hexagons instead of rectangles.
