Orange raisin coin all tick
Don't remember mint.
There was Turkish delight.
Nut , I just can't remember but think there was.
Coconut has gone and was replaced by maltezer
Turkish delight gone and replaced by toffee
No nuts now

Raisin now coffee cream
 
Was there a cylindrical sweet made out of a substance similar to the centre of a mint aero.

No idea what they were called but seem to remember them, like a long flump but made of solid material and not marshmallow.

We used to get told that we had to whistle if we went in the kitchen when baked goods were cooling off.

To this day can still neck a mince pie whilst whistling Colonel Bogey without missing a note.
 
Pork fat & jelly sandwich with a bit of crackling on the side.

Loved XL Beefy Barbecue crisps. There's still nothing comes close.

Agree about mint
Can't remember Turkish delight
Coconut & Malteezer were in the same packet for my whole childhood.
 
My mate put some chocolates on my desk for when I go in to work tomorrow.

Irish Cadbury seems to be different to the stuff you have here.

Golden crisp and Mint crisp are on my desk now.

Looking forward to them :D

Don't know which ones were swapped when, maybe turkish delight got swapped for maltezer?

Going back to the 60s when revels was first launched, there used to be a Turkish Delight one. The Malteser wasn't in Revels then. The orange one went for a while, then came back.
