About this deal

In April 2009 Cadbury altered the weight of the standard Picnic bar from 50grams down to 48.4grams. Made by Mars, Topic contained hazelnuts, nougat and caramel. It was first introduced onto our shelves in 1962 and advertised with the slogan "A hazelnut in every bite." The MacRobertson Picnic bar was first released in Australia in 1950 (also released in UK by Fry in the 1950s). [1] In 1967, Cadbury acquired MacRobertson Chocolates, a well-respected Australian confectionery manufacturer founded in 1880. The move gave Cadbury another major manufacturing base on the Australian mainland - at Ringwood in Melbourne, Victoria. It also added a range of unique confectionery brands, including Old Gold (launched in 1919), Picnic, Cherry Ripe (created in 1924) and Freddo Frog (created in 1930), which were household names. [2]

Fuse bars were a little bit different; instead of having a chocolate coating on the outside, the ingredients were suspended right the way through it. Sadly, it was discontinued in 2006 when sales dropped, but remains fondly remembered to this day. A marketing slogan for the Picnic, released in the early 2000s, was "Deliciously ugly". [3] During the 1970s the Australian slogan for Picnic was "More like a banquet than a picnic". Picnic is manufactured by Cadbury UK. In the early 1990s, a UK television commercial featured a singing camel called Calvin, in which the Animatronic camel performed a parody of " My Coo Ca Choo" originally by Alvin Stardust. The lyrics describe the ingredients of the chocolate bar, chants of the words “Chew” and “Goo” while a series of captions appear during the course of the advert, parodying The Chart Show who would display random captions offering facts on the artist and tour dates, while the music video plays. The tagline of the commercial was “There’s no goo in it when Calvin’s chewin’ it”. The commercial also had airtime in Russia and Ukraine, with the fact-captions translated. Drifter was a chocolate bar launched by Rowntree's in 1980. The bar consisting of a wafer layered with caramel and covered with milk chocolate. Originally christened 'Trophy,' Banjo bars were began life as a Kit Kat-style chocolate wafer bar that was only sold in London. Reinventing itself and being distributed further afield by the 1970s, it is mostly remembered for its navy blue wrapper and bold gold lettering. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.After nearly 60-years, the bar was quietly discontinued in 2021, with many people still not realising they may never take a chomp of a Topic again. It had initially been removed from boxes of Celebrations in 2006. Pyramint Terry's Pyramint wasn't as long lived as their chocolate orange Full of raisins, peanuts and fudge pieces, Fuse was like a picnic bar, but better. Cadbury launched Fuse in 1996 with 40 million bars sold in its first week. They had a white chocolate flake centre, dipped in milk chocolate. Sadly, the bars were discontinued in 2008.

While the chocolate orange is still going strong, sadly the Pyramint has not been seen since the 1990s. Again in August 2014 Cadbury altered the weight of the standard Picnic bar down to 46g in Australia, with a noticeable Despite the branding, Flake Snow was, in fact, closer to a Twirl. We always assumed they were a relatively new invention, but they've been around in some form or fashion since the 1970s. While Fry’s Chocolate Cream and Peppermint Cream bars still exist, earlier variants are no longer around. Sadly for fans of this bar, Fry’s stopped making them in 1992, after nearly 70 years in production. Texan Bar
