You tried the Werthers sugar free one ... not bad :-)
I don't think Cherry Ripe has been the same since Cadbury
started making them in the 60's (well they don't taste the same as when
I was a kid :-))
originally made by MacRobertson who was the guy who sponsored the
original London to Australia air race in the 30's
they also made the original Freddo, Old Gold and Snack
Still haven't had one in years ... bugga now you got me thinking about
those cherries coconut and dark chocolate.
