When did Balisto bars exist in the UK? Did I miss this?
Probably about 30 years ago. Know they were (are?) more common in Europe but we had them for a while.

Ah, there's the answer to my question. They were (are) great.
We have three flavors, I prefer the plan “biscuit” one.

Is that the one with the green wrapper? Loved that.
Orange. Green is a very sweet tasting muesli thing and there’s purple which is very sweet “yoghurt.”

Does anyone remember Fresca?
Sparkling grapefruit drink.

Blue can with a snowflake logo.

Also,in Worthing back in the 70s, there was the Corona van that used to drive around on Sundays, selling glass bottles of various fizzy stuff.
Looking back, I'm now wondering, whether that was just a bloke, Selling nicked bottles from the warehouse in Canterbury road.

1990. I was too busy being a student in those days
Me too. Balisto bars were excellent for those strange moments when you felt hungry all of a sudden...
