I have only found out today the Boost bar stopped being made almost 20 years ago!

Anyone else have sweet memories?

Unless the company that stocks my company's vending machines is using 20 year-old choccy, Boost is very much still being made.

Really? The original orange wrapper coconut ones? (Not the blue wrapper ones that came later). I'd love to get one of the proper ones

No ours are just a chocolate and biscuit thing, with the same packet design as Boost energy drink.

Wham bars. Bright pink chewy (actually tooth breaking) bars with colourful bits in. Used to get them all the time.

That isn't "the Boost bar", it's a variant of the original.

Anyway, would you risk it for a Swisskit?

I thought I was the only one who liked coconut Boosts! (I assumed that was the reason they stopped making them).

According to God the coconut variety are no longer produced.

And according to Cadbury they stopped production in 1994

That is the oddest Wikipedia entry I've ever read.

It's really oddly written - lots of short sentences that don't seem to be particularly linked. And then I found myself slightly uncomfortable about the fact I was reading so much about a chocolate bar.

Clove drops, as in the cloves you get clove oil from to put on toothache? I can't think of anything worse to nibble on, I used clove oil last year when I had a chipped tooth and it nearly made me sick.
