The first time that my mum allowed me and my brother to walk unaccompanied across the common we lived on to the sweet shop, we bought Freddos. This was during the brand's short 1970s UK appearance. The memory always stuck with me and a few years ago I ended up buying a Freddo ceramic jar like the one below. It never contains any Freddos because, as pointed out above, the experience of actually eating one is underwhelming, sentiment notwithstanding.

Asda, Cardiff, today – Freddo appears to be going around with a blind (?) monkey these days:

pipe tobacco and cigars only by that time, surely?
Fag ads on the telly went in the 60s IIRC?
Though persisted in print and on billboards.
And sport sponsorships.
