    Texan

    “A mans gotta chew what a mans gotta chew”.

    The Mighty Chew – a chocolate-covered nougat bar from Rowntrees which you could stretch to the floor whilst still attached to your teeth – was first produced in 1972.

    Their Red Indian/Mexican firing squad-baiting TV adverts are the stuff of legend. “Hold on there, bald eagle! You wouldn’t fire a man till he finished his Texan Bar, would ya?”.

    It was withdrawn from sale in the 1980s but relaunched as a limited edition by Nestle in 2005 after being voted “the favourite sweet of all time” in a 2004 survey of sweet shop customers.

    “Someone should’ve told him – a Texan takes time a-chewin”.
