The shelves in supermarket confectionery aisles seemed to be jammed with every possible sweet sensation.
Despite this, there are certain childhood treats that you wished would make one more comeback.
Here are some of the most sought after. Fancy a bite?
Pacers
The king of chewy mints! Produced by the same company that gave us Opal Fruits (which has morphed in to Starburst), these were the ‘sophisticated’ chews that kids wanted to be seen with.
The advertising alluded to sport and fitness, to give you a feeling of something ‘good’ to eat.
Of course, they were just sugary confectionery like all other sweets and eventually lost their place on the shelves before the 80s were up.
Bar Six
Imagine a Kit Kat that had six stubby fingers with a hazelnut cream twist.
Well, that’s Bar Six in a nutshell.
It may not have been a staple of school lunch boxes but it could be found lurking in every swimming pool vending machine.
