Fry's Chocolate Cream : Weetabix ; adverts 1955
Nice colourful advert from a 1955 magazine of two products still with us - Frys and Weetabix.
By this date Fry's were already part of Cadbury's although their factory and production was still in their historic base of Bristol, or rather the new factory they'd build on the outskirts of the city in the inter-war years. Although that has gone, along with Cadbury's independence and most of the Fry's brands, thsi actually keeps its Fry's branding. At the time other variations on the filled bars were made such as Peppermint and the real treat - the five fruit flavours one!
Weetabix has been made in the UK since the 1930s and was, I think, based on the Australian Weet-Bix product. Although still made in the UK the company and brand is now owned by an overseas company.
