  3. Mint Cracknel

I seem to remember that the advertisement went something like...

"Mint Cracknell takes you somewhere cool and green. Somewhere cool and green."

It was a chocolate bar consisting of two small squares held in a small cardboard tray. A little like the cardboard tray that seems to have vanished from Bounty, these days!

It tasted a little like toothpaste - even though I quite liked it.

The inside of the chocolate bar had a crunchy green centre and was probably too "adult" for my childish taste - I think I must have been about 7 - 10 when I first tried it.

I'm not too sure that it was very popular, though.

It disappeared - just like the Bounty cardboard tray did!

Happy times.

    I loved this and later in life I worked with someone who had a brother who worked in the factory that made it. Said that it was withdrawn because it was too expensive to produce. So sad.

    Thank god other people remember LOLLY GOBBLE CHOC BOMB, my children laughed at me, no one else remembers them. i was starting to believe i imagined eating the wonderful lolly. Mint cracknel was another fav. There was also another BAR it was very light puff mint covered in chocolate the mint dissolved in your mouth, does any one know what i am talking about.

      Yes, I remember that light mint I think – shaped like a Wispa, quite hard and crispy to bite into but then dissolved very quickly? No idea what it was called though.
