Dream Bar
Flake
Fudge Flake
Frys Orange/Pepermint Cream
Bueno

Ruffle
Topic
Star Bar
Toffe Crisp

It was launched in 1969 ( although some web sites state 1967) by Cadbury's, at great expense, in an attempt to take on the Mars Bar.  It was very sickly and just did not reach expectations with it being prematurly withdrawn within about 8 years if I remember correctly ;) ;)

There's a guy with a 70's 2.6 Toyota Crown featured in this month's 'Practical Classics'. When he bought the car, he discovered a twin pack Milky Way tucked down the back of one of the seats, with an expiry date sometime in 1988.

Not sure what'd be worth more, the bar or the car..... ;D
