Timeout was released in 1992. Tex has been in SA for at least 40 years. They are a great snack chocolate, light and enjoyable. As said Tex, Aero, Kit-Kat, Chocolate Log and Bar-one by Rowntree and then Nestle were the best selling counter line chocolates. I am amazed that Nestle have not tested them out elsewhere, it would be a relatively cheap as the product is developed and if nothing else the around 1 million South Africans in UK will buy them.

IS it unhealthy to eat more than 5 Tex bars a day

I am now 40 years old and a South African expat living in the UK and remember Tex and other “Nestle” products all available as a child. Tex was originally a Wilson-Rowntree countline along with the likes of Bar One, Caravan, Chocolate Log & Peppermint Crisp all of which totally outsold and outranked anything produced by Cadbury’s or Nestle’ at the time including Time Out which was not availalable in South Africa. In fact Wilson-Rowntree locked out the top 10 countlines in South Africa prior to the Nestle’ take over of Rowntree’s a decade or so ago now. Lest anyone forgets, even Kit Kat was a Rowntree product originally!!

What every happened to Tex Bar chocolate. It had caramel inside and the chocolate was beautiful. I think it was made in Qld. It would be over 30 years since I have since this chocolate bar around.

I cannot find exact dates, but Tex bar has been around for at least 40 years. Does anyone know how long Cadburys Time Out has existed ?
