The orange flavour has been around for many decades, theres also a peppermint one aswell which too has been around many decades.. im, amazed youve not come across them before, although you see them less than the original flavour to be fair.. The other bar you refer too was the Five Centres, unfortunately it was discontinued in 1992, but you can get a similar bar (sadly you’ll have to get it all the way from Australia) called Cadbury Snack (not to be confused with our own Cadbury Snack!). Their version has sx blocks of Dairy Milk each with a different filling and the relevant pattern etched onto each segment. They include, caramel, coconut ice, turkish delight, ornage and pineapple. Well worth seeking out!

I absolutely love the Frys Chocolate cream and to my horror have just lost a £10 bet. My friend said you could now buy this bar orange flavour and I said there is no way I would have known. Do you know what he delivered me a bar today. it was delicious (even though it cost me £10). Does anyone know where and if the four flavour bar is available please?

They are very nice, its nice to see the Poppets brand being rejuvenated.. it had kinda been neglected for years, despite refreshed packaging, no new flavours other than the old four: mint, orange, toffee and raisin. Its nice to see a few new flavours, I have a an old 1960′s dummy box for Poppets (its huge, the size of a Maltesers box!) and the flavours then were fruit & nut, ginger, brazil, nut and assorted. I assume brazil and nut were one but they are all in separate cuircles on the box lol.
I spotted these strawberry milkshake poppets in my local coner shop so your prob on the right track shop wise :)

Ooh no I haven’t seen the strawberry milkshake one but it sounds lovely. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled in the local newsagents and off licenses!

The centres are still soft, Its partly the temperature theyre stored at, when theyre cold the centre solidifies somewhat. The orange centre tends to be softer for some reason though. I wouldnt say it was ruibbish though, I think youre exagerating somewhat lol

Frys Chocolate Cream are the best ever made. How dare someone say they are disgusting you have no taste. You can get them at the Hahndorf Sweets in South Australia. Please start making them again in Australia.

@Lindsay – I know the ones you mean, not through eating them but by seeing the ‘cocktail’ Fry’s Chocolate Cream wrappers online lol. I think they would have been a brief limited edition type of thing probably, I’ve never seen them make anything like it since, and were probably not all that successful. I don’t think they were really ‘related’ to the original Five Centres, but i see your point in the fact that they could still make them! :)

If the 5 fruits was discontinued in 1992 when do Cadbury claim the machine broke? Because when I was at uni our little campus sweet shop sold a version of the 5 fruits that was cocktail based – strawberry daiquiri etc. It was gorgeous!! That would have been 1999-2002. So the machine must have been working then as each bar had 5 different flavours in it.

And to the person who asked about poppets, yes I remember them too. They were another childhood favourite of mine! You can still get them but again the most interesting flavour is mint. Honestly, who decides these things!? Bring back the fruit flavours!
