“The Bounty Hunters – they came in search of paradise . . .”
Coconut and chocolate bars that offered “a taste of paradise” . . . and a crafty butchers at scantily-clad birds.
The exotic coconut taste of Bounty arrived in Britain in 1951 as a direct emulation of the American ‘Mounds’ bar introduced in 1936.
Unfortunately, the little individual black card trays have gone from the packets these days . . . but the fact still remains that anything combining chocolate and coconut just can’t lose.
