I could just eat a Bar Six now with my coffee! Thanks for these memories. No one believed me when I said Fry's chocolate cream came in a bar with each segment a different flavour. They were twice the size then too!
Every time I see videos like this I get tingle's in my stomach reminiscing about those great times as a 70's kid. Can't help but feel a sadness and a longing to go back in time.
Bar Six was one of the nicest chocolate bars ever. I can still vividly summon up the memory of the taste in my mouth. For anyone too young or those who have forgotten, it was like a Kit-Kit but with much creamier chocolate and a softer, crumblier wafer. I think I actually only had about half a dozen as a kid, but they left an everlasting memory with me.
Remember Milk Tray in a bar form, 8 different centers all joined together, all because the Lady loves Milk Tray. Ps. I really miss Bar Six and the delicious creamy bit in the middle.
One chocolate bar that I noticed was missing from these is Ice Breaker made by Cadbury’s. I even wrote to them asking if they’d bring it back but they just said something about bringing out different bars all the time. Apart from mint Aero, I can’t think of any other bar that’s minty. Ice Breaker had shards of mint inside the chocolate and the bar was wrapped in a pale blue foil wrapper. Those were the days. Most bars these days are smaller but still cost a lot!
well I got to this vid searching for 'Mint Cracknell' which was apparently a mint chocolate bar from the 70s... even tho it doesn't feature in this video
Also, Mintola and Munchies, Truffle Bars (still available as individual chocolates), Terry's Wafer. Aztec was like an even sweeter version of a Mars Bar, if such a thing is possible. Golden Cup was nice and runny inside. My mother would buy a bar of chocolate on Saturday evening from the corner shop, usually a Fry's mint or fruit flavour bar, and slowly eat it over the while watching TV. My bar of chocolate took five minutes to eat. I always envied kids who made their treats last the whole day. My uncle could make a box of chocolates last a year.
Thanks Dave! You're right about the best sweets and chocolate coming from those eras. These days they skimp on sizes, ingredients and make up with chemicals and packaging
These appear to be all British, and some of them are still made today (albeit in different wrappers), like Kit Kat, Cadbury Fruit and Nut, and Bounty (which still has a wrapper like that). And they're all still good! Thanks for the journey down memory lane!
A finger of Fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat, A finger of Fudge is just enough until it's time to eat, It's full of Cadbury goodness and very small and neat, A finger of Fudge is just enough to give the kids a treat.
My God that catapulted me back to my childhood. I could almost smell some of those, especially the 'Pink Panther' bar. 😋 The ones still available have changed the recipes/sizes/textures and are very different today. This video made me happy and equally sad for distant and better simpler days. Thanks for posting. 👍
Yes, I was impressed to see the Pink Panther bar - used to love that. Contrary to you, my memories of the 70s are generally unpleasant. I don't know why. Something about the era just makes me feel uncomfortable - the fashion, the design, the aesthetic. I was born in 1970, so I don't know why it weirds me out so much.
@@al201103 I understand, nostalgia brightens it up a lot. It was a drab and uncertain time to experience but I think the little joys (enjoying a chocolate bar for example lol) are the bits that stand out. But overall yes it was pretty much a shitty era.
These were the days when sweets had A SPECIFIC PRICE....and no matter where you bought them, you knew what you were due to pay. These days, shops just ask any old amount that they can get away with. When I was a kid, I could actually plan on how many 'sweeties' I could afford with my weekly pocket money.
@Brian London They were, but were taken over by a big American firm who were allowed to acquire them because they made a promise not to shut the Bristol factory... Which they then promptly closed and moved production to eastern Europe. The Chief Exec was required to appear before a Parliamentary committee to explain herself but told them to take a running jump.
Cadbury World is in existence - the trains I catch up to Middlesbrough (Taunton to Darlington and back), goes straight through the station (Bournville (for Cadbury World)) - I like both Whole Nut and Fruit & Nut - also pass through York, the home of Terry’s - mainly specialising in boxes of chocolate and the Chocolate Orange!
@@redblade8160 Yes I do - now you mentioned them, but wasn't so keen on them. Here's one in reply - Do you remember Ice Breaker? Sadly enough as a young boy I bought it once coz I fancied the girl wearing a cat suit in the TV advert 😂
@@PrivateWalker Yes, I remember Cadbury's Ice Breaker, it had green, minty crystal layers inside the chocolate and it was wrapped in a electric blue, foil wrapper.
Frys, Mackintosh, Rowntree's, Cadbury, Terrys.. All down the crapper, sold out to crap like Hershey and Nestle for ruination. Glad I was around in their glory days when we had so many really good sweets.
@@gills4thrills Yes, todays offerings are completely removed from what they once were. Even the humble foil wrapped KitKat bears almost no resemblance to the thing of today. Taste, texture, size, packaging.. It's all wrong. Cadbury's dairy milk, I don't even recall the last time I had that because it tasted so bad. In the 60s it was yummy! How have we lost so much 😯
Thanks for the upload and nostalgia. As a child in the UK in the 70's & 80's most of my pocket money went on sweets and chocolate bars, many i'd forgotten..untill now.

Amazon bar bar six and golden crisp were yummy strange they didn't show the chocolate bar called ice breaker came in a, metallic blue wrapper chocki was full of a green mint kind of cracknel stuff
Tiffen , Bar Six, and Swisskit. Oh the joy to have these as a kid. I might have missed , but did not see Caramellow bar. I used to have one out of the vending machine in Heath Town baths after a swim. Happy simple day's compared to the hi tech isolation that we have today.
ROSE TINTED DAYS. When I was a kid in the 60's, I could buy lots of little sweet with just one shilling (5p =12 pennies, old money). 1. Penny chews 2. Fruit Salad 3. Black Jacks 4. Shrimps 5. Flying Saucers (with sherbet inside) 6. Liquorice strings 7.Jelly snakes 8. Sherbet Fountains 9. Gobstoppers 10. Lollipop (very hard) 11. Fizzy sweets 12. Milk bottles (white chewy sweets) And the list is endless.
Boy did that bring back memories..... Swisskit (I'll riskit for a Swisskit) Aztec's Golden Crisp Golden Cup Marathon !! (Not Snickers) Old Jamaica Amazin (Loved these) GREAT COMPILATION, thank you for the memories.........
No.it's really not...lol...where have you seen it? It literally is nowhere in England...here is also a copy & paste. And I have looked everywhere. x Golden Cup Introduced by Mackintosh in 1967, this chocolate candy bar was very popular in its early years. However, it´s rumoured that the sales of this confectionery classic declined and was overtaken by its rival, Cadbury´s Caramel. This retro sweet bar was discontinued by nestle.
They used to do a plain bounty bar in a red and white wrapper I think. Love pink panther bars and golden cup. Poppets were good too. Used to get them on the station platform vending machines. Happy days.
I remember Aztec bars having a panel which you rubbed with a pencil to reveal a hidden number, the significance of which I was unsure of! Kids I knew bought peppermint Aeros - to me, mint and chocolate don’t really work together! Marathon is now Snickers! You can still get Bounty bars - the blue one is milk chocolate, the red one is plain chocolate! I half- remember Cadbury’s Toffee Buttons! Caramacs were nice - more than one is a bit much, though! Fry’s Turkish Delight - chocolate covered soap! I once won a fancy dress parade as The Milky Bar Kid - a cowboy outfit, a pair of round-framed spectacles that had previously belonged to my older sister, with the lenses removed and a waistband or whatever made up of Milky Bars - which, under the hot sunshine that we had that day, melted - got covered in condensed milk - the Milky Bars were on me - literally! Curly Wurlys were originally 6d - then we went decimal and they became 2 1/2p, rising to 3p - Terry Scott, in his schoolboy character role, used to advertise them - one ad featured him on a ghost train!
Remember when you could actually buy a chocolate bar for pennies? I traveled by train a lot in my early twenties. There were Nestle vending machines on the platform. Chunky chocolate bars in various varieties for 10p.
I especially like the prices back then, many you can still buy, like the crunchie, fry's chocolate and many have been lost to history, even a packet of crisps were less than 10p in the 1970s
Oh those were the days the best not like these days all the chocolate are crap now why do they change everything no need if it’s not broken don’t fix it 😢😢😢
I remember Ice Breaker, It had mint flavoured shards of glass in it and on the advert they snapped one in half over the zig zag design. I used to try it but it never came out like on the advert
@@gills4thrills Me too; I boycotted them for a while in silent protest - I mean 'Snickers' what sort of a name is that, sounds like the school sneak laughing - just to appease the americans I suppose. Pffft.
@@gills4thrills I thought they were bigger too - a common wheeze is to put 'New Shape' on the packet. The double size bars I think were used the same way, bring them in for a while then remove them and make the standard bar smaller. There is no value for money anymore.
@@grotekleum you're right there. They use less cocoa because it's more expensive and add more sugar and reduce the size these days in lots of chocolate bars
Great video. Thanks for cheering me up ! Those were good days. The pick and mix . Sherbet flying saucers. Jelly teddy's. Sweet cigarettes. And sherbet pip's 😁 . We were always scrounging money for sweet's. 😊
I saw the Bounty bar wrapper. I remember what the wrappers looked like even further back than the one on show. It was plain dark blue for the milk chocolate bounty and dark red for the plain chocolate with the word 'BOUNTY' across the centre. No palm trees in the corner. When I posted my comment about Cadbury's Roses, I meant the current 'variety', not the ones from years ago when there was a variety. Who remembers Macintosh's Weekend choccies in a box?
@chocitout They'd probably be too expensive to be commercial these days. The size and composition of sweets has been debased over the years to try and keep the price down. It would be nice if the manufacturers made the recipes available to specialist makers though. I'm sure they must still have the recipes in a vault somewhere for most of these sweets. I'd happily pay more for my childhood favourites!
I noticed that a few of these were released in the USA under different brand names. (Rountree's Nutty is marketed as Payday, for example) And some of them are still around (Rolo, for example). Good video.
Good Grief!! The packaging on these took me right back to the 1970's. Awesome. Thank you for posting. Never thought id see a Bar 6 again!! cheers ATV Midlands
I could just eat a Bar Six now with my coffee! Thanks for these memories. No one believed me when I said Fry's chocolate cream came in a bar with each segment a different flavour. They were twice the size then too!
I thought it was a Cadbury bar with six "chocolates" making up the bar. Or is that a different bar ?
@@broche9851 Yes Cadbury did do a bar like that, well remembered. The Fry’s bar I mentioned was shown in the video, “Five Centres”.
The Fry's 'Five Centres' bar was my favourite of all time.
What ever happened? I know I'm not the only one that misses those great days, everything's poop now. Thanks for a great video.
Every time I see videos like this I get tingle's in my stomach reminiscing about those great times as a 70's kid. Can't help but feel a sadness and a longing to go back in time.
My childhood memories of going to the local shop have all come flooding back. Thank You.
And the shopkeeper telling you to ‘hurry up’
when you were choosing something.
Good to see Amazin at 1:42, a chocolate bar that for many years I thought was imaginary because no one else remembered it apart from me.
I love the 1970s prices. The chocolate bars were also bigger and more chocolatey then.
Definitely bigger, much bigger
Does anyone the Cadbury Milk Tray bars from the 1970s? You used to get one of the same selection as in the boxes but in a bar. I loved those.
Yes, one of my mum's faves!.⭐
Bar Six was one of the nicest chocolate bars ever. I can still vividly summon up the memory of the taste in my mouth. For anyone too young or those who have forgotten, it was like a Kit-Kit but with much creamier chocolate and a softer, crumblier wafer.

I seem to remember Golden cup? Anyone else? It was lush!
Oh yeah 😊used get in a mess 🤪centre soft mmmm
mmmm yeah, gorgeous
The pink panther chocolate bar is my favourite, wish they'd bring them back
Michael Fleming.
Sweets like "Milky Bar" and "Pink Panther" were not made from chocolate.
Also, Mintola and Munchies, Truffle Bars (still available as individual chocolates), Terry's Wafer. Aztec was like an even sweeter version of a Mars Bar, if such a thing is possible.

Ice Breaker was also fantastic! They brought it back some years ago but it disappeared again!
Chocolate back then tasted so much nicer than today.
I prefer the old wrappers. Much more character than the bland soulless foil ones.

How could I have not remembered that? I've never seen it before but I feel as if I should remember.
This presentation brings a smile to my face !
2p for a bar of chocolate that costs 1.25 now. Sigh, so many memories and I ate 98% of those. Great video, thanks.

Those were the days when the chocolate was bigger. Unlike today where all produce is shrinking except the price.

loved Golden Cup, and Old Jamaica reminds of going to football with my dad. anyone remember Milk Tray bars, like 8 chocolates stuck together.
I remember all if them apart from the 'Oranges and Lemons' bar.
My weekly pocket money was 50p as a kid in the early 70s...you could buy a shed load of sweets & chocolate bars for that ... happy days 😋❤️
I used to get 19½p per week for my pocket money in the early 1970s!

Better than todays pathetic chocolate bars made much thinner and smaller, the Americans owners have ruined Cadbury’s

Nestles have ruined a lot of them , especially quality street , I think they made by Mackintosh.
It was made by makintosh

Golden Cup
Introduced by Mackintosh in 1967, this chocolate candy bar was very popular in its early years.
However, it´s rumoured that the sales of this confectionery classic declined and was overtaken by its rival, Cadbury´s Caramel.
This retro sweet bar was discontinued by nestle.
I really wish this was true but I have searched and searched in many places...markets, shops, the net...I haven't seen it for literally years x
sugarkaneandchloe Tell me about it. Oh, they were the best. Why do manufacturers always wreck things by changing them, or discontinuing them?
sugarkaneandchloe They HAVE been discontinued, unfortunately. Anybody stating otherwise are Liars!!!! :P
lol agreed (sadly!!!)
Wish I could find a bar of it! It was Heaven!!
I miss old Jamaica rum n raisin

Bar six was my favorite.
Golden Cup? I loved those. And three pence?!! When will someone build a time machine... please!
That would be magical! I'd love that
I'll build you a time machine, but I'm gonna warn you in advance that it'll cost £5. think wisely.
Prices shot up and quality and size plummeted!!
I couldn't agree more. "New Shape". What rot. Just a way of shrinking the bar and giving you less for more money.
A teacher bought me abar of strawberry chocolate when a seagull accidentally landed on me years ago.

they're not awful, something wrong with your tastes@@patriciaoreilly8907
@@sallyjoan haha trolling a sweety video
i'll actually write whatever i like.@@ziggypop8106
Oh those were the days the best not like these days all the chocolate are crap now why do they change everything no need if it’s not broken don’t fix it 😢😢😢
Completely agree! 👍
Profit my dear profit .
does anyone remember mint cracknell and ice breaker?..my faves
yes.
Yes! I used to love them, my favs too.:)
I remember Ice Breaker, It had mint flavoured shards of glass in it and on the advert they snapped one in half over the zig zag design. I used to try it but it never came out like on the advert
loonylinda yes !
Yes ice breaker was my favourite
Milk Tray Bar, Texan, Cabana.....
We usen to get Tiffin bars in rations in the army in tins with boiled sweets.
Some of those prices deary me.
Most of this great stuff we didn't get in Canada. Yet I want to try it all.
Lol 😂 Me too!
@@gills4thrills contact us, we just brought back the Rum and Butter bar from the '70s. (Canadian Candy Nostalgia)
I was thinking .. does anyone remember when their fav was suddenly no more, I can't, they just seemed to disappear without a by-your-leave.
I remember when Marathon gave way to the Snickers bar. Very sad day
@@gills4thrills Me too; I boycotted them for a while in silent protest - I mean 'Snickers' what sort of a name is that, sounds like the school sneak laughing - just to appease the americans I suppose. Pffft.
@@grotekleum yes, Marathon was a perfectly good name! And I'm sure they were bigger in size too.
@@gills4thrills I thought they were bigger too - a common wheeze is to put 'New Shape' on the packet. The double size bars I think were used the same way, bring them in for a while then remove them and make the standard bar smaller. There is no value for money anymore.
@@grotekleum you're right there. They use less cocoa because it's more expensive and add more sugar and reduce the size these days in lots of chocolate bars
Great video. Thanks for cheering me up ! Those were good days. The pick and mix . Sherbet flying saucers. Jelly teddy's. Sweet cigarettes. And sherbet pip's 😁 . We were always scrounging money for sweet's. 😊
I saw the Bounty bar wrapper. I remember what the wrappers looked like even further back than the one on show. It was plain dark blue for the milk chocolate bounty and dark red for the plain chocolate with the word 'BOUNTY' across the centre. No palm trees in the corner. When I posted my comment about Cadbury's Roses, I meant the current 'variety', not the ones from years ago when there was a variety. Who remembers Macintosh's Weekend choccies in a box?
If they brought back 'Five Centres' I'd be buying them in bulk. The nearest I can get is Fry's Orange, Peppermint and the blue one 😕
There;s Fry's Raspberry Creme, sold in B+M stores. It has a disappointingly bland taste :(
@@musicgarryj I had a look in Home Bargains for raspberry ….. nothing.
I’ll try B&M thanks 🙂
@chocitout They'd probably be too expensive to be commercial these days. The size and composition of sweets has been debased over the years to try and keep the price down. It would be nice if the manufacturers made the recipes available to specialist makers though. I'm sure they must still have the recipes in a vault somewhere for most of these sweets. I'd happily pay more for my childhood favourites!
I noticed that a few of these were released in the USA under different brand names. (Rountree's Nutty is marketed as Payday, for example)
And some of them are still around (Rolo, for example).
Good video.
Good Grief!! The packaging on these took me right back to the 1970's. Awesome. Thank you for posting. Never thought id see a Bar 6 again!!
cheers
