Cabana Bars

Cabana was a milk chocolate bar in a blue wrapper. Inside you found a delicious coconut filling and chunks of cherry. They were made by Rowntrees in York, and were discontinued in the early 90s. It was totally irresistable! I suppose the closest thing to it these days is a Bounty or the old Cadbury's Coconut Boost - but they're just not the same!

    Bring back Cabana! Forget Wispa (that's Cadburys bubbles isn't it?) There's nothing with cherries, even the Cadburys Fuse didn't have cherries. I wonder if it's because cherries are expensive (although their latest offering does have apricot). 3 decades and still waiting..

    I really do miss the 80s. Was a fantastic decade and I have many memories from that era including secondary school.

    I loved these chocolate bars - they were just the kind of weird combination of ingredients which I always imagined a Wonka Bar might be like. Cherries and coconut and stuff. Fantastic!

    OOOOOOOOOH do i remember them!! But nothing could replace a "texan" bar.....ever! Eating these chocolatly perversions of the 80's actually endorses bad teeth and ulsers, which in my opinion is GOOOOD!!
