    Not sure about the Chelsea, I can remember they came in strips, brown and chewy
    Cant even remember what the texture was, all I know that they were magic.

    am talking late 70s early 80s

    This was my favourite when I was younger. The feckers discontinued it. "It's amazing what raisins can do, all that chocolate and it's all for you" was the song that accompanied the tv advert

    Aw for one bag? Farmfoods do 6 bags for 1.50. 2 S&V, 2 C&O and 2 Prawn Cocktail. Every 4th bag has a cheeky 7th packet too.

    Chelsea Whoppers mate. Chewy in strips, powdery and chocolate flavour. Amazing. Can still get them in some places.

    This war drum thing is for a best man speech. I've spoke to hundreds of people. Only 1 person remembers it. It's driving me mad

    Aye when I bought them they were just sitting out in big strips, no packaging. You just asked for how many you wanted.

    Farmfoods is your friend. The prawn cocktail are actually alright if that's your thing.

    As said though they were a quid up until recently. Like everything else they've rocketed in price.

    They were massive as well and something similar to the size of the old Mars Bars back then - not like the shrunken ones we have these days. Don't get me started on penny caramels :56:

    I'm exactly like that with drifters! Awesome with a bag of beef n onion crisps.

    Don't remember wardrums but do remember a Taz bar. Very similar to freddo caramel.

    You know this forum is getting on a bit when just about a decade ago we were discussing danger wanks and abusing Wrigley for being a creepy * filming lassies on train station platforms. Now we're reminiscing about chocolate bars from 19 canteen.

    I remember warheads but not wardrums. Wasn't chocolate either though, really sour sweets.
