This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

Around 1982, the year of the release of the huge Spielberg classic E.T., I remember a 3-pack of custard-cream biscuits being launched, dyed in various colours such as blue, green and yellow! Does anyone else remember these?

    Didn't they have sherbert in them? Or is that impossible? They seemed fizzy somehow...or is that me associating cola with fizz I wonder.....?

    I remember exactly the feeling of eating one of those biscuits: as if I was somehow a part of the movie because of a green custard cream. Merchandising is the most powerful tool known to man.

    I used to love them. I remember once my mum bought a packet of them from International supermarket and they didn't have have cola cream in the centre so she wrote a letter of complaint to Nabisco and my uncle told me that a copy of it would go to Steven Spielberg. I believed him. We got free vouchers for 5 packets though :-)

    I love you all!! I have thought id been going mad for years as nobody else remembered them. They had a card inside the pack. They did taste of cola and always a magical smell when you opened the pack (probably the chemicals in the colouring!! There has to be an empty pack somewhere
