 Its a programme on sky one, they take modern ad men and put them into a 1970's office and get them to pitch for work, no computers, no photocopiers, etc. they are having to find a sales pitch for a number of things from the 70's.

Is this bar from the 70's? I sure don't remember it.

"Cadbury's milk chocolate with little Crunchie-like gold "nuggets" strewn throughout."

It was from the early 80s BUT it seems to be a re-vamp of the 70's Golden Crunch bar that was virtually the same except by name.

I'm guessing on the 70's office they might have been mock ups, after
all the artwork is still available (hence the nice Nestle people
sending me the image we have on site for Texan and Picnic).

Anyone from Nestle reading this?

 I thought they may have been mock ups but they did have some bars to eat, and they certainly looked the same bar they ate to what I can remember. If anyone is interested it is repeated tonight 7/11 on sky one at 11pm see for yourself

Does anyone remember those dummy bars and boxes you used to see in sweet shop displays?  i used to be intrigued by the plasic Walnut Whips. In those days they were always called Whipped cream Walnuts!

They must have made them for Sky One, so they can make them for all of us!

I doubt it... the wrappers are probably mock-ups, and the actors - sorry, contestants - were probably munching away on Mars Bars.
