    texan bar

    Launched in 1975.
    Withdrawn in 1985.
    Reason for its withdrawl (as given by Nestle) was the miners strike of 1984, apparently it was made in Halifax and the strike prevented lorries entering and leaving the plant

    Excellent research mate!:wink:

    I find the miners strike allegations hard to believe; Nestlé aren’t exactly sympathetic to left-wing activists (they were and perhaps still are protest targets due to aggresively marketing baby milk in third world countries) so I think its one of their managers trying to have a subtle dig at trade unionism.. (it may be the case though that their lorries were being blockaded by activists because of the baby milk scandals)

    did they expect people to think that there are chocolate mines in the North of England and that the miners were pelting Willy Wonka with lumps of coal whilst shouting “scab!” at him?

    The other sweets I’m on about though were brown squiggly things shaped like baccy. No one seems to remember them apart from me. Maybe it’s my age:groucho: :groucho:

    I can remember that stuff,waxy paper packet with squiggly stuff in it,dont remember what it was called though.
    Also Cadburys country bar milk chocolate with Gert lumps of shortcake in it.YUk!

    can’t remember the name of the baccy but I’m sure it was made out of shredded coconut? try this http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/sweet-tobacco-p-409.html
