Calling all like-minded lovers of sweets!  Who remembers Aztec bars?

I have the following Aztec Bar facts

• They were made by Cadbury to rival the Mars Bar
• They were launched to coincide with the 1970 World Cup
• They came in purple wrappers
• They were a bit like Double Deckers

Please correct any of these facts, if they are wrong and please, please send me

They were nothing like Double Deckers; more like a sweeter Mars bar with caramel on top of a darker, more chocolatey filling. IIRC they cost 8d - a whole penny cheaper than a Mars!

The wrappers looked like this;

How did they fail to conquer the confectionery world?

Have you been to Cadbury World in Birmingham?
It's great for the Cadbury nostalgist.
They show old Cadbury ads and that.

London-wards, there is the museum of advertising and packaging in Notting HIll, which does similar - packaging from different decades back to Victorian.

I reckon Jnr (Version 1.0) and I, should go to Cadbury world during the hols. Jnr (Version 2.0) will have to wait until he's got some teeth to rot.

They are yet another example of how the world is bad and wrong as it should have been conquered by the Aztecs and indeed by the Fry's Sandwich Bar before them.

Fry's chocolate, of course, was SPECTRE's secret weapon for world domination. How else could you explain George "Big Fry" Lazenby as Bond?

I'm not familiar with the Fry's Sandwich Bar, but it sounds like I would like to be. I think I may have to research that one further.

Oooh Cadbury's world is nearby, I had always shunned it as the obvious marketing device it clearly is but if they have Nostalgia well...
