6. Cheetos
Remembered best as Chester the cheetah, Cheetos challenged our notion of potato chips as they came in the shape of puffs, balls and wheels. The orangey red colour probably made them look even more appetising.
7. Lotte Chocopie
Not as easily available as the rest, the Chocopie was a real treat as it was labelled as ‘imported maal’ which made it all the more exotic. A marshmallow sandwiched between two chocolate covered biscuits was the best piece of confectionery at the time.
8. Chatmola and Fatafat
These so ayurvedic candies were salty, sweet and everything in between. Fatafat made our tongues black and I can remember having competitions with friends to see who’s tongue got blacker.
9. Uncle Chipps
Available as plain salted wafers or a copy of Lays ruffles, Uncle Chipps was probably the first brand of potato chips in the Indian market other than the generic brands that were available at picnic grounds, parks and traffic signals.
10. Nirula’s Hot Chocolate Fudge
Although this was exclusive to Delhi, the hot chocolate fudge is what made us go back to Nirula’s time and again, other than their pizzas.
