I'm staying out of this, for fear of name calling by you know who
Yes, they ran together.
The Triple Bar, as I recall, had white chocolate in the middle, between a layer of milk chocolate and a layer of plain chocolate. Hence the name Triple.
The Sandwich Bar, like a sandwich, had a middle layer (plain chocolate) between two layers of the same (milk chocolate).
Hmm, that's interesting - I wonder which one sold the most. I think I'd gone for the Triple Bar, as I'm not a big fan of white chocolate

The first tranny I had was a bright orange plastic Japanese model of the top right style, I vaguely remember we called that type a pocket radio, and it was one of the best things I've ever owned. A young nipper tuning into Tommy Vance on Radio Luxembourg at 2 in the morning to listen to Mud, oh what great and carefree times.

Sorry, it's too funny to pass up.
1959............Going from memory of my father buying a pair of these, which I still have, I reckon this was the year they were launched in the UK
1910 When they had medicines that would cure everything.
I thought the only cure for hysteria was a slap in the face.
And, nearly a hundred years later, in 2001
1964

Do you think they knew exactly what they were saying?
