  3. Lucky Numbers

Now, Lucky Numbers were absolutely gorgeous. Cadbury's produced them from the 50s onwards. They were expensive to buy back then, and like Roses or Quality Street chocolates, Lucky Numbers were often sold in a tin. The caramel chocolate was the best one!

The TV advert went: "Lucky Numbers, Lucky Numbers — chocolate and chew. I’ll be lucky, you’ll be lucky … they’ll be lucky too!"

    I remember Lucky numbers very well. I also remember the tv advert with Norman Vaughan singing the jingle " Lucky numbers, lucky numbers chocolate and chew, I also remember the tune. I still quite often sing it. Such happy memories of my school days.

    I remember 'Lucky Numbers' alright. Even Cadbury in their Bourneville visitor centre back in the 1980s acknowledged that they were one of their greatest failures and that is why they were eventually discontinued. They as you would expect had a different number depicted on each sweet wrappers! Strange that Wikipedia doesn't appear to have picked this up in their Cadbury section either in the history nor their list of UK sweets.

    chocolates, rather like quality street or roses, except that each one had a number(presumably a lucky one) on the wrapper. My fave was no 7, a caramel

Do you remember these?
