Whatever happened to coconut boosts?

Wow - I must've blinked. When did they happen?

When? They were the original boost weren't they? Certainly before this orrible biscuit one anyway.

Not so much a chocolate bar as a biscuit bar with chocolate - please pay homage to not so much the choccie as the naff song on the advert for it...

Fantastic!

A finger of fudge is just enough....
Oh wait, hang on. That doesn't sound as innocent as it did when I was a nipper. Erm...

Ooh, Manfred Mann... Or was it Herman's Hermits?
Something tells me there were slightly more advanced lyrics than %$£"!, though.

And finds a WMV of an advert at http://tinyurl.com/36y75c . TinyURLd to obscure a potentially mildly offensive domain.

** EDIT: Added everything after "<Goes a-Googling>". Including this bit.
