Ah! Now these must have been a rival to Milk Tray Bar cos Dairy Box was made by Rowntrees and Milk Tray by cadburys.

On the back of the packet it has the flavours listed but I can't work them out!

I reckon this picture is from the 50s in which case it predates even me (well, I was born in 1957 actually).

Bar's like this seem so far away and exotic from what we have now.

The closest we have to a selection all in one bag/bar is revels! Its a sorry state.


There are a few bars in America/Australia that have mixed bars. For example the Cadbury Snack bar and the Turtle Bar.

Maybe we could strike a deal with Cadbury and get them to reintroduce Fry's Five Centres by telling them they could re-brand it as Dairy Milk with Five Centres - they seem to do that with everything else...

That's because Cadbury's happiness loves our money.

Salsa you are fantastic in many ways, but I may have to revise that opinion if you continue to berate my beloved Fry's!

These bars look similar to the Cadburys Snack bars from Australia. In a Cadburys Snack each chunk has a different filling, I think they have things like Caramel, Pineapple, Strawberry, Orange, Coconut and Turkish Delight. The Australians seem to have it good when it comes to chocolate *dreams of Cherry Ripes*

Fry's Five Centres was dark choc so I wonder  how it would taste with Dairy Milk instead. Some flavours are better with dark choc, don't you think?

Post by: smurfboy on February 09, 2005, 01:26:02 pm
Interesting thought - there's been a fair few dark choc variations on milk choc (dark Mars etc.) but I can't think of any in reverse. Anyone like the idea of milk choc After Eights or Fry's Orange Cream?

What about Milk Chocolate Orange?  The plain ones were out for years before.


Also Cherry Ripe, I've said it before and I'll say it again - Australian chocolate is HORRIBLE!  (Apart from Cherry Ripes of course - they're okay).

The Frys Bars were actually available in milk and plain varieties if I remember. The Cadburys bars were too. Milk Tray Bar and Plain Choice bar (with Bournville choc).


 


Revels are like the sweepings off the floor.

Mint seems to go better with dark. And the soft centres in Quality Street, the strawberry one and the orange one are incased in dark choc.

Post by: smurfboy on February 09, 2005, 04:16:50 pm
A lot of fruit centres seem to have dark choc, for the contrast I suppose.
Title: Dairy Box Bar
Post by: chocolate chick on February 09, 2005, 04:22:42 pm
Might be because milk is creamier and it might not blend so well with the flavours?

I would like the Dairy Box bar and Milk Tray bar to return.

They are frozen. Mankiness has been postponed.

Post by: loulou on February 12, 2005, 05:05:23 pm
how long can they stay frozen?
Title: Dairy Box Bar
Post by: on February 12, 2005, 07:11:07 pm

Until my freezer packs up.


It is only confectionery. I suppose it might one day go hard and crumbly, but most of you will before them.

If anyone else has NOT tasted them before, tell me what they DON'T taste like and I may decide to send one to you as well.
