Can't quite believe the prices - a Flake for threepence and a bar of chocolate for a shilling (5p)! There was a little game on the back.
BUT ... it was what was inside that I had totally forgotten about! The contents are out of this world!
A selection of press cuttings from 1968 and 1969 all about the moon landings.
I must have been quite a collector - even in those days. I had totally forgotten about these.
Haven't a clue what I'm going to do with them. Have to admit that I found the other sides which had news from the time and especially the adverts more interesting this time around!
Funny what turns up - have you found anything interesting recently? Share them with a link in the comments section and I'll highlight a few over the next few days.
Love, Liz

Hi Liz, how fascinating! I'd be very tempted to put them in acid free wallets in a file that way you can enjoy both sides of the cuttings. I don;t have any cutting from then just very vivid memories of Dad waking me and sitting up with him to watch it on our black & white TV - amazing times :o)
Best wishes as ever

I haven't found anything that I haven't seen for years but I have scrapbook bits and pieces that I pull out now and then. What a fun little box off memorabilia! :)
What a great find, whilst I do not have any actual memorabilia I do have memories of watching it.
Oh my,that is truly Amazing!!! Had you not eaten the chocolate????
That moon mission was incredible wasn,t it ?! I must ,ve been about twelve or thirteen when that was happening...oooh it was so exciting ! : )
Unfortunately I ate the chocolate imedately! I even remember recording the moon landing on my cassette recorder - still have it. Must have been quite a geek!!!!
