Title: Whatever happened to!

Cadbury's Curly Wurly. Saw someone eating one on TV tonight (old programme) and it jogged my memory, don't see them on sale in Cannock now. What other Gems are now extinct? :-/

Cadbury's Curley Wurley is still in production.


Missing though is Fry's5 Boys chocolate bar, Mars Spangles and full size / strength Wagon Wheels and Tizer.  Yes, I know the last two are around still but they bear little resemblance to the 1950s/60s produced ones!

Gone out of production years ago, and think they were by KP,  "Ranchero's crisps", Yummy.... used to go through packs like there was no tomorrow, perhaps it was me then that eat them all then....  :D  ::) .

Ah yes.. years ago, when 10p would buy you bags of teeth losing sweets... :P .  Polo mints were 2pence !.

God I feel old now  :-X .
