Yeah, the cardboard packaging, or in tins also, before the plastic.

I only remember only the cardboard wrapping on them. But What happened to the Newer Turkish Delight Bars. They were awesome. Can't find them anywhere now.

Extremely hard chocolate, that I recall from my Army Cadet days. Probably could stop a bullet, or break a few teeth...

I used to get Raspberry Lollies from my school canteen, they are similar to Fruit Tingles, they were awesome, but then one day they stopped making them

I went away with my BIL years ago to the Reserves for a weekend, i was given a ration pack, that food made me fart like i had eaten curries for a year and i saved all my farts for that weekend away, bloody terrible.

A child care dad that i chat to was in the army, he said they eat certain foods to basically giv yourself constipation so you don't fart, sounds like FUN!

Thinking back to the olden days, when I was a kid, we would sometimes have rockmelon and ice cream, or rockmelon and cream. I vaguely recall it being good.
