E.T. Biscuits

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?

    I actually liked the cola flavour! They may not have been around for that long but I can certainly remember making the most of them while they were. I could just go a packet now!

    I was 6 in 1982 and had hazy memories of munching on green custard cream type biscuits that came in little three packs with other colours, but nobody else seemed to remember anything like it so I thought I had imagined it. I have no memory of them having anything to do with ET, or indeed the cola flavour of the brown one. Clearly only the green one did it for me!

    Yes thank god i'm not alone! I thought i was the only one who remembered these. Everyone i mention it to thinks i'm making it up. I thought they were quite nice. Did they have cards inside?

    I couldn't find anyone that remembered these. I'd love to see the packets, or the cards again! - I remember being desperate for my mum to get me some, but when I had them I wasn't so keen! - I've knocked up a quick 'artists impression' of how I remember them - could be way off because I was only about 5 when I last had them!... http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=4972738
