This is great news, I loved Funny Feet! Nice to see assorted Toffo coming back too (they were the best ones).

Majorly excited for trios! They were a lunch box staple for many of my school days. I'll be purchasing them at the first opportunity.

Sad to see fuse on the list of those which weren't chosen though, they were fantastic! Has anyone been able to find the complete list of confectionery which was voted on?

They just won't be the same though and probably about half the size.

I'm in Spain presently and they are sold everywhere, including 6 packs in the supermarkets for €4.

Opal Fruits were renamed to Starburst years ago btw.

This is a video showing them on the production line. They look the size I remember them:

Yes I know but at the same time they renamed them Starburst they changed them. I want the original Opal Fruits back. Strawberry, orange, lemon and lime. And I'd like them with all the original crappy colours and flavourings in so they taste the same!

Try salt and vinegar Jacobs Oddities. They are a close approximation.

I don't remember pink Funny Feet?

I remember Funny Faces - vanilla ice cream on a stick with a chocolate ice cream 'face' on it.
They were fab.

Strawberry flavoured ice cream is yuk!

Oh and Cabanas were the BEST chocolate bar ever - lush caramel, coconut and cherry.............
