It's just not the same. That little bear made it that much sweeter. A straight bar just doesn't have the same character.
I recently found a choc-o-lig, which I assume is the replacement for Chocilate Logs. I tried one and you couldn't peel the top chocolate off the marshmallow.... and that was half the experince of a chocolate log.
If you liked caramello bears, you should try the caramel hearts from Woolies... They come in orange/bronze tinfoil. They are packed with caramel inside... They are my guilty pleasure
Spencer Bears!!! You can get the at Woolies :D https://www.woolworths.co.za/prod/_/A-6009178255803?utm_source=app&utm_medium=nativeshare&utm_campaign=appproductshare
So I had to try figure out why I loved this and I realised because it tasted exactly like Belgium Shells. That at least you can still get! I mean Inside Story.
I miss FFWD and Tempo. I remember buying Choc log in Dec and Sour Beans in Dec also.
I live in Australia and it still exists here. I've actually found loads of sweets that vanished from South Africa still exist here. Like lifesavers, refreshers, tempo ( called boost), and more.
Beacon New Look, Caravan, Cabrio, Perky Nana, Time Out, Sevens, Tempo! Those were my favourite chocolate bars....we also had Cuddles chips, Kreoles, Ruffles...good old days
Simba discontinuing their tomato sauce chips line because of a *twitter poll* was one of the biggest crimes in South Africa. Let's do away with one of the best flavours because of reasons. I'm still upset.
Sour jelly beans are still around, just aren’t as great as they used to be.
I’d personally give everything else up for holey moleys! Why don’t they hear our pleas lol
The tomato sauce chips being discontinued still hurts. I’m in the US, I used to have my mom send me a box every few years. The chips here are terrible.
Those FFWD bars were the best! I also remember Tempo chocolate bars. I still had one for lunch at school the day I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Fuck I miss those things.
Has anyone ever had a chocolate called Rock and Roll or something? It was like a Swiss Roll. I used to get them from BP garages when I was little. I have been searching for them my whole life but I can't find any trace online. I think I might have the name wrong.
Echo's. Though i think for a short while Cadbury made a dipped white chocolate flake which is pretty much the same thing. But Echo has 2 in the pack which made it twice as good.
That Caravan image hit hard.
I remember the day I realised it was discontinued.
I rarely get candy, but when I do, I get something I love.
Drove to five different stores before a manager of a PnP told me it got discontinued.
I straight up went home with no candy that day. Was sad for a while about it and I still reminisce about it some days.
Tempos were remade into all star bars. It’s not as great but it’s cheaper since no one buys them.
As for tomato flavoured simba chips, the flavour lost the vote and was retired.
I don’t recall the exact name but I remember a chocolate that was called something like Pep Talk or just Pep , was like a mint chocolate with wafer thing. Anyone remember something vaguely like that?
Omg inside story and tempos were DELICIOUS!
5 star chocolate today is basically tempo though it tastes super similar to me.
There’s a way to get this country on the right track again and it starts with bringing tempo bars back to our shelves
Geldhof makes a bar similar to the inside story, just a bit smaller and 10x the price.
I always used to get either a tempo or inside story at the tuckshop back in the day. They were the best
You can still find sour jelly beans in some shops
I thought I was going mad. I love those.
And when your done eating them your teeth feels like sandpaper
Because the citric acid is dissolving your teeth enamel. Fun.
Yeah I ate a pack today.
Was literally at an Engen tonight and they had those
Anybody remember those caramello bears you used to get?
They became a a slab. No longer a bear but now a big slab.
Ah okay thanks for letting me know! I'll look for it next time I'm shopping. Really missed them.
It is the Caramel one. Half the slab will be that iconic colour.
It's just not the same. That little bear made it that much sweeter. A straight bar just doesn't have the same character. I recently found a choc-o-lig, which I assume is the replacement for Chocilate Logs. I tried one and you couldn't peel the top chocolate off the marshmallow.... and that was half the experince of a chocolate log.
You get them now but they taste different
Where do you get them?
Most shops :)
I loved those. I live in Aus now, we have them here, except they're koalas. Otherwise exactly the same.
What are they called there? Koalamello Bears?
Caramello Koalas
Koalas! That's awesome and very aussie. if I ever visit Australia, I know what I'm buying lol
Loved those. I am om the UK and we have Freddo bars which are the frog equivalent.
If you liked caramello bears, you should try the caramel hearts from Woolies... They come in orange/bronze tinfoil. They are packed with caramel inside... They are my guilty pleasure
Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely gonna buy some next time I'm there.
Spencer Bears!!! You can get the at Woolies :D https://www.woolworths.co.za/prod/_/A-6009178255803?utm_source=app&utm_medium=nativeshare&utm_campaign=appproductshare
Gonna look for them next time I'm there :D. My trolley is going to be full of chocolate lol
The after effects of a FFWD bar were, um, interesting...
Nothing like seeing green logs in the morning.
What was the ingredient that caused that?
I think they were made in a nuclear plant.
I can only describe the ingredient as "Blue"
Blou melkies also had that effect, my mom took my brother to the doctor because of :)
I miss a Tempo chocolate. It is 10 times better than a Five Star.
It had the exact right amount of shortbread in it so that it wasn't too dry, but also enough that it didn't get overpowered by the caramel.
Ohhh yessss, Caravan and Chocolate Log….mss those, they were the best
Omg Chocolate Log... why did you remind me of this.. so sad that it's gone :(
I still regularly grieve over the loss of Caravan.
Me too 😂
O'Grady's cheese was the best chips I have ever eaten.
I liked the Cream Cheese and Chives, but O’Gradys was great!
Those were the premium, fancy chips - the god damn delicious BMW of the chip aisle.
The simba tomato sauce hit right in the feels
Tempo, chocolate log and those spicy tomato chips were god tier
Wheres the snowflake?
I very bang want an Inside Story and Tempo. Like, really badly
List is missing fresca!
That's cos nuffing
Tastes like FRESCA!
Jesus, a packet of Holey Moleys would go down a treat right now.
I'm literally eating sour jelly beans right now
Lol same😂 have you noticed the flavor has slightly changed since they discontinued the small packs or that just me ?
Tempo was my favourite chocolate. Delicious! I remember Fanta Tropical Fruit and Peach but not Strawberry.
And Fanta Naartjie!!
Not so sure I recall that one - lol.
I’m giving my age away, it was in the mid-80s
Ok, cool. I was alive in the mid-80s but only barely 😂
My all time favorite chockie. I miss Inside Story so much 😭
Inside story and caravan, please bring back. Fanta Strawberry. Nope. Nope. Nope.
When i was pregnant I craved that FFWD bar so badly that I had a full mental breakdown because I couldn’t have it.
Chocolate log doesn’t exist?
I miss caravan so much
BRUH!! The Simba Tomato flavour is discontinued?!?! What a disgrace!
So I had to try figure out why I loved this and I realised because it tasted exactly like Belgium Shells. That at least you can still get! I mean Inside Story. I miss FFWD and Tempo. I remember buying Choc log in Dec and Sour Beans in Dec also.
Does anyone remember Polar Ice? It was carbonated fruit juice that had adverts playing before cinema movies started.
I had no idea it wasn't available anymore, and of course that means I want it now more than ever 🙁
Cabrio was amazing.
That last one hurts the most 💔
You forgot Caramilk
I live in Australia and it still exists here. I've actually found loads of sweets that vanished from South Africa still exist here. Like lifesavers, refreshers, tempo ( called boost), and more.
Time to move to Australia, then.
That’s practically my childhood. The loss of Tempo hits hard. Also add Cream Soda with the sugar replaced by sweetener. A loss for the ages.
This low kilojoule crap has ruined so many good cool drinks. I hate it so much.
100%
Aaaah yes...a CreamSoda Float..the best!!!!
What happened to lays sour cream and onion, the light green one
You're missing snow flake, I miss those along with inside story
Caravans were the best. As an aside, does anyone remember the soft drink “Coasta” from the 70’s? That was so good.
Inside Story tasted like upper class
You forgot Nut Puffs.
Holey moleys and Tempo ❤️
Am I the only one that remembers Simba use to have a sour cream and chives flavour?
I remember it. Gone but not forgotten.
Steers spare rib flavoured Simba chips😭true classic right there
dang the nostalgia
I think Kreols should be included in the list as well as kelloggs frosties Edit: yes/no bars had some of the best tasting chocolate ever
The Simba monkey gland sauce flavour. Also O'Gradys
Simba Saltan Vinegar chips ..miss them the most.
You still get them
Not in Lays 😔
You can still get strawberry Fanta at some stores that import items.
Remember that blue Sparletta? Had like a whale on it or something
Bubblegum, yep.
I didn’t realise that I’m craving a caravan…
New chocolate logs are really damn good. Give them a try if anywhere local stocks them
I miss Sevens chocolate
Where's the Fresca?
I feel so young now
Don’t forget Take Two
People called me crazy for saying Fanta strawberry ever existed, I’m so glad I can come to a place where it is celebrated 🤲🏾😂
Beacon New Look, Caravan, Cabrio, Perky Nana, Time Out, Sevens, Tempo! Those were my favourite chocolate bars....we also had Cuddles chips, Kreoles, Ruffles...good old days
Simba Tomato flavour will be missed
Simba Tomato Sauce chips? I'm literally still looking for this whenever I go shopping... Thinking it's sold out... WTF
Anyone remember Freska?
Oh man, don't do this to me. I'm overseas and never get to taste these things anymore.
Do any of y'all remember the Prism chocolate?
Simba discontinuing their tomato sauce chips line because of a *twitter poll* was one of the biggest crimes in South Africa. Let's do away with one of the best flavours because of reasons. I'm still upset.
Tempo was the best! Also, these liquorice ropes with the pink centre, these were delicious but apparently out of production.
Ooh, snowflake!
Sevens was this all time shizniz
I miss white Crunchies :(
There was also a chip called Hoops or something like that, but Holey Moleys and Caravan was great as a kid.
All it takes is 2
Who are these evil mofo's that made these decisions? Monsters!!!
Flake snow !! Yes/No bars 🤩🤩 Chocolate logs Miss those so much.
Bring back Nutri-K :(
Oh my gosh. Haven’t had an inside story in just under a decade. Are they still being sold in SA?
Might want to read the title of the post.
My bad!
Yum
Oooh I remember that!
It was one of my favourite!
I miss chocolate log and tempo.
I would actually commit several crimes for a tempo right now
One of these and a packet of shooters, that every pay day back in the early 90s
I miss ripple chox.. there used to be a mint flavour and normal chocolate flavour
Cabrio was delish.
DAMMMNN OP! How you've made me miss eating FFWD from like 15 years ago, when I'd stare in the mirror, in awe of my deep blue tongue.
Sour jelly beans are still around, just aren’t as great as they used to be. I’d personally give everything else up for holey moleys! Why don’t they hear our pleas lol
Anyone remember the Doritos Fiery Habanero flavour? Came in a red packet. Still the best flavour to date
The tomato sauce chips being discontinued still hurts. I’m in the US, I used to have my mom send me a box every few years. The chips here are terrible.
Those FFWD bars were the best! I also remember Tempo chocolate bars. I still had one for lunch at school the day I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Fuck I miss those things.
Woolies engen sells strawberry fanta strawberry
Oh whaat.. are tempo and chocolate logs discontinued?? I was wondering why I can't get them from the SA shop in Australia anymore 😢
Frooty Tokens!!!! I miss you!
O'Grady's :(
Those steers chips were so fire
Thank God you included Holey Moleys on this list.
Pep Talk.
Yeses, but those FFWD chocolates were kak🤣🤣🤣
I miss La bamba beef. Those were my favourite school snack
Man, I must be too young for this sub, I have no idea what some o these are.
Google, but you'll never know the taste... Sad. They were good, much better than some of the stuff you get today
Has anyone ever had a chocolate called Rock and Roll or something? It was like a Swiss Roll. I used to get them from BP garages when I was little. I have been searching for them my whole life but I can't find any trace online. I think I might have the name wrong.
Holey Moleys and Yes/No chocolate...
I miss o'grady's chips
RIP chocolate log... my favourite chocolate
Echo's. Though i think for a short while Cadbury made a dipped white chocolate flake which is pretty much the same thing. But Echo has 2 in the pack which made it twice as good.

Don't tomato simba and chocolate logs both still exist? I used to love chocolate logs but haven't had them in forever so they may not anymore.
moved to germany and im happy to declare they still have them.
Omg I missed these. Esp when they were solft and melty
Dang Holey Moleys used to slap. I also really miss the green big korn bites
Is Crunchie gone too?
Nope you still get it
Wicks bubblegum as well
RIP tempo
Caravans 🥹
I don’t recall the exact name but I remember a chocolate that was called something like Pep Talk or just Pep , was like a mint chocolate with wafer thing. Anyone remember something vaguely like that?
One I miss is that hard peanut sweets with small pieces of peanuts inside.
Tempo was my favourite 😭 And chocolate log. So depressing
Chocolate Log was my fav.
The red ripple chox. I'll never get over it 😭
They wouldn't be able to air *that* FFWD ad today, that's for sure.
