Adverts ADVERTS

Swisskit Bars

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

In the 70s, the ad for Swisskit chocolate bars had the slogan, "I'll risk it for a Swisskit" . It featured a man skiing down a slope and then (surprise, surprise!) crashing into a tree.

    I remember swisskits! Two skiers going down the mountain, one shouts ‘avalanche’ and the other shouts back, ‘no, ave a Swiss kit’. They went down the mountain, to risk it for a Swiss tick!

    Yes, most definitely. I just quoted the “Risk it for a Swisskit” line to my husband and he said I was imagining things. I liked them, and Mint Cracknell, Ice Breakers, Tootie Frooties...

    It was most definitely “ would you risk it for a Swisskit”

    I was about to make the same comment that Boudicca12 made, it was "I'll risk it for a Swisskit"

    Loved these so much. Used to get one with pocket money on a Saturday. Definitely should be brought back but with the original recipe x

    Noone I speak to remembers this advert. Was it not "would you risk it for a swisskit?" Also did it not become a dime bar?

    May I correct you, it was actually, "I'll risk it for a Swisskit" implying the bar was that good. It was too! I really miss it since its demise and think now would be a good time to reintroduce one of the healthier snack options ever offered.
