Favourite chocolate bars from your youth

[red hander]

'An honorable mention also has to go to the free ones we had just nicked from Wellworths in the Square. Always nicer when you didnt pay for them. '


Ahhh, Wellworths in the Square ... the pick 'n' mix counter was an open invitation for widescale thievery by the Dalriada boys.  

Me Ma used to work in it and I remember in the Seventies after a bombing outside the cop shop (not a scratch on it, the rest of the Square was flattened) her arriving home with a van load of different ice lollies that had to be disposed off.  We had a big f***-off chest freezer in the garage them days ... kept the youngsters in the estate fed with Quenchers, Jokers, Choc Pops, Choc Ices etc for three months.  My favourite was the Dracula lolly ... bit into it and this red sauce seeped out round your lips, like you'd just sunk your fangs into the neck of some unfortunate Romanian virgin.

BTW, the website www.aquarterof(dunno if it's .com or .co.uk) still supplies a lot of those 70s/80s chocolate bars and sweets

If i remember correctly Club bars may have been featured on the sitcom The Royle Family. Glad to see such a great bar getting global recognition
