Jacob’s Club

Now way back in the 1970’s I used to be a very young assistant manager in a big supermarket and one day I went into the warehouse and saw the equivalent of an artic lorry of Club biscuits, all the flavours just laying on pallettes, so many I knew it was a mistake. I went to my General Manager, who informed me it was no mistake, I later found out he had his whole house furnished plus a trip to the US on that order.

From that day on, I began to dislike the stuff. However, thank goodness the customers loved it, because it took just over a year, but it all went….. just.

Jacobs is part of the United Biscuit brand, and the chocolates came in a sleeve counting six chocolates if I recall correctly.

The flavours were of course the great milk chocolate flavour, and I enjoyed orange, mint and I think there was even a blackberry one too.

Do you remember the great jingle?

“If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club,

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club,

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club.

Jacob’s Club — have you ever seen more chocolate on a biscuit?

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club”

70s Retro Sweets

If you had to describe sweets from the 70s one word you would not use is boring. The seventies produced some of the wackiest ideas for confectionary you have ever known. From candy that explodes in your mouth to popcorn type sweets called HankyPanky, a selection of chocolates in a bar and coconut flavoured strands of chewy sugar wrapped in a tobacco type pouch called Spanish Gold.
