We would buy Coci-Fröschli, Foiferchoitsch, Liquorice or Nogger-Glacé from the kiosk with our pocket money. They all still exist today. However, some of the earlier flavors have disappeared from the range. Blick lets you remember the cult classics of yesteryear.
one
Raiders
The two chocolates in the gold package have been called Twix since 1991. That’s what they were originally called in Great Britain: Twix is a neologism for “twin sticks”. The Raider name used in the rest of Europe made a brief comeback in 2009.

Bazooka, Malabar, Wrigley’s
Bazooka from the USA and its French copy Malabar were popular chewing gums: with a pink-red mass, very sweet but short-lived in taste, with small comics, tattoos or stickers on the packaging. Bazooka has only been available in the US since the early 90s. Malabar can still be found; Instead of the strong man, there is now a cat as the logo. Wrigley’s plain gum strips were still available for purchase until 2022, despite weak demand.
3
Trees and Acorns
“Melt in the mouth, not in the hand”: Mars started this slogan for Treets, peanuts covered in dark chocolate. These became M&M’s in 1987. There were also acorns and chocolates with smiley face coating. These are now also available in stores as M&M’s (peanut-free).
4
mivella
Yes, Rivella once made Mivella for Migros with a different recipe. Until 2008, Migros sold only the original.
5
Passaiah
The cult passion fruit flavored drink was released in 1964. Sales have fallen steadily. Migros removed the beverage from the market in 2022.
6
Sanagol and Fivermocken
Disch, a subsidiary of Othmarsingen AG, produced Sanagol fruit candy, which was available in every kiosk and cinema until 2002. It continues to exist in Italy under the name Sanagola. We owe Fivermocken, which was once a kiosk hit, to the same company. Later, Zehnermocken (for 10 cents) and Zwanzigermocken (for 20 cents) appeared, today they are simply called Mocken and are in demand only in retro stores.
7
Candy Smacks
Our breakfast cereals were once called “Sugar Smacks.” Manufacturer Kellogg’s changed the name to “Honey Smacks” in the 80s, which sounds healthier. Today they are simply called “Smacks”. Sugar left.
8.
purple break
Lila Pause, launched by the German brand Milka in 1986, was once popular thanks to its popular advertisements. But the purple Milka cow disappeared from advertising, and with it the purple break, which lasted until 2017 in Switzerland.
9
shakería
More recently: The milk drink Shakeria was launched in 2010 as a rival product to Emmis Caffè Latte and is produced by Migros subsidiary Bina at Bischofszell TG. There was no success. In 2013, the product became history.
10
Resurgent brands
Some brands never die. For example, Banago, the cocoa drink invented in Olten in 1927 and produced by Lindt & Sprüngli from 1971 to 1998: Banago celebrated its relaunch at Migros in 2012. Or Vivi Kola, produced at Eglisau ZH from 1938 to 1986 and given a new life in 2010.
