I don't remember as many as twelve centres, Frances, but I do remember a bar with six centres called, IIRC, Cadbury's Milk Tray.
I can't recall at this distance what the centres were, but I'm fairly sure that orange cream was one, and possibly coffee cream and caramel.
I think these may have been the same price as the ordinary CDM bars, ie 6d.

Do you remember the sweet shops?
Jars and jars of fabulous sweets.

Remember sherbet dabs, gobstoppers, anniseed balls, acid drops, humbugs, Jubblies, Munchies, Spangles, Love Hearts, fizzers, spearmint chews, Cadbury cream eggs, chocolate buttons, Licorice Allsorts, Fry's chocolate bars, Aeroes, Malteesers, Rolos, Bounty, Macintosh's Toffees, Turkish Delight, Fox glacier mints, Wrigleys & PK chewing gum, Walls Ice Cream wafers, choc ices...........ect...

I also remember all those sticks of seaside rock that every relative used bring back from their holidays. We used to have a draw full of them at home.
Of course they used to stick to your teeth when chewed and caused plenty of tooth decay amongst my generation.

Maybe 12 is a bit excessive From what i can remember it was a bar with 'bricks' of different shapes & each a different centre. Like a box of chocs in a bar!

I remember those bars .. I think it was six or eight different centres with the block for each centre being a different shape.

I think the problem with the Fry's bar Mark is the colouring, and yes remember the Cadbury's chocolates joined together in a bar.Can you remember the bar with a layer of dark chocolate covered in a layer of milk choc.

And yes the endless jars of sweets eeh memories.I can remember going to the shop with Ten Shillings before the advent of toy money and buying tons of stuff hehe.

OMG, yessss!!

I'd forgotten that one. How about the 'sandwich' bars - plain between milk and vice versa?


Old Jamaica anyone?

What about the slogans...4 minute smile.

Have a coconut....I'd rather have a Bounty.

I always wondered about the ads for that one. A bloke goes to a deserted island with a lovely young lady. Miles of open beaches, sunshine, lovely looking sea. And all he wants to do is to eat chocolate covered coconut?

In my youth I won a Mars Bar eating competition- not how many you could eat but how fast you could eat one. That was no mean feat because the Marses of those days had great thick hard wedgelike choccy ends. My opponent in the final put a whole bar in his mouth in one go and then couldn't do a thing with it! His cheeks (and his eyes!) stuck right out!. I (more daintily??) bit my Mars in two before swallowing...

Anyone remember Golden Wonder crisps with the small dark blue wrap of salt in the pack? they used to cost thrupence from the VG shop on the corner on the way to school. The shop has long gone, in fact the whole street including the school has long gone...well the street is still there but the buildings have all gone, replaced with modern boxes.

What prize did you win? More Mars bars?

I cannot get the old Flake commercial out of my mind where that nice young lady slowly unwraps the chocolate and places it between her luscious lips.
I melted every time I saw it.

What was the chocolate product that we were always told in the commercials -
"Melts in your mouth not in your hand".
