Animal Bar was launched in 1963, in the UK, by Nestlé. Unlike Milkybar it was never made by the Rowntree Mackintosh Confectionery. They were primarily marketed and made for children. Each Animal Bar contained a game printed on the inside of the wrapper, and had two different animals, along with their names; moulded onto the surface of the chocolate. Animal Bars were especially popular during the 1960s and 1970s, thus many adults who were children at that time remember them fondly. They were sold as either a single 19 gram bar or a multipack of four.
The original bars had numerous animal heads molded on them, not just two.
Animals availableedit
The original chocolates and their wrappers featured a whole assortment of animals, including:
For many years before the product was discontinued, there were a total of eight animals that featured on chocolate Animal Bars. They were paired together and named as follows:
Lucy Leopard and Mickey Monkey (Misspelt 'Micky' on the outer packaging)
The paper wrappers and outer packaging were redesigned by the end of naughties, with new character 'Sid Snake' replacing 'Iggy Iguana', yet the chocolate moulds remained the same. The wrappers also featured 'Ziggy Zebra' who did not appear on the chocolate bar at this time.
