[AK74]

 

[GT49er]

Can't rememmber the last time I saw one, let alone ate one! Good job I spotted this thread, otherwise I'd never have known!

Anyway. out of respect to those affected, RIP Caramac.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Well this one passed me by, never heard of it! Not a great chocoholic but do peruse the shelves.

I had my first and last Caramac in 1989 at a school camp in Botley, Hampshire. (it's a bizarrely strong memory for something so inconsequential)

Too sweet for me, even as a 10 yr old.

The camp was notable also for my first taste of Ashes cricket 'banter', with one of the staff being an Aussie chap (on a working holiday I assume now) who took great pleasure in ripping it out of a bunch of English primary school kids (it ended up 3-0 to the Aussies, but it's not a great look for an adult )

A bar better in the memory than on the tongue.

we may reminisce but no one is eating that crap in 2023

Is nothing sacred anymore?

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

In theory I’ll miss it, in practice the last time I had one it felt like I’d bitten into concentrated sugar. Unbearably sweet.

Cadbury have brought out a similarly evil concoction which I have tried once and will not be returning to.

They were a tad sickly after 3 or 4 of them.

This is absolutely disastrous news. The no. 1 item on my purchasing list whenever I return to the UK.

I am distraught.

I love Caramac I just never see it anywhere? I have the urge to bulk buy Caramac now!

On the subject of ' deceased ' chocolate bars can anyone recall the name of the one that was a bar of milk chocolate with threads of mint crunch running through it? It was around in the 70's and I think it had a blue or possibly green metallic wrapping.

Icebreaker?

I've actually been looking to see where I can get some for my final moment with it. Not sure there is anywhere.

Trading post in Barnham always have loads.

It’s not far off

Vile stuff , I only tasted it once and felt sick immediately . Never touched it since.

Not too far from Yapton. So I could hedge me bets.

 

[Heffle Gull]

Just bought one from Heathfield Sainsburys jeez they are sweet.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

scarce on Amazon now, no doubt being repriced!

Cadburys Caramilk is the alternative

Fans lament as Nestlé axes Caramac bar after 64 years

Nestle says it will no longer be making Caramac bars because sales have been falling.

Shocking news

They have changed the recipe so many times since I were a lad that it’s nothing like it used to be.

I was much the same with cocaine.
