The banana flavor was my favorite when I was a kid, it was 5 cents a bar then now it is $1.19 hahaha gotta love that!

Donna thanks for explaining that for me I have always wondered what they were ! Sound delicious cake and cream win hands down for me anytime !! lol Pity we cant get them over here. Ok now you are going to have to tell me......is taffy the same as toffee ? and I adore turkish delight ! We have the same thing with prices going up and up and never coming down, the bars of chocolate for example are more expensive but smaller in size to !!! lol

Thanks for posting Donna and I am eternally grateful to you for telling me about the Twinkie, never thought I would find that out ! lol x

Chris, nope toffee and taffy are not the same! taffy is what we sometimes call salt water taffy, you get it at the circus and fairs, it is soft and goey. Where I think toffee is a harder candy but just as delicious! Haribo makes gummy candies that are sold here in the us and they seem to be a big hit!

Ah right I get it, taffy not toffee ! Toffee is hardish thats for sure and yeah the Haribo sweets for the kids here are a chewy sweet or candie ! Again my knowledge base is building !! lol Thanks for sorting me out there Donna x
