Galaxy Ripple

[dingley]

Can anyone confirm for me that Ripples used to come in blue wrappers? Need answer to settle a bet

[sweetdor]

yes im sure it did

[vetty]

it sure did!!

[Alibobs]

I'm thinking a turquoisy blue colour...I think they were made by Mars, when they became part of the Galaxy range they were rebranded to fit in with the Galaxy image?

[boobesque]

alibobs, useless info for you, mars own galaxy anyway! hmm ripple!

[kempie]

... more of an ultramarine blue than turquoise blue!

[Sozzie]

Yes, they were defo in a blue paper type wrapper.

[aprilarnold]

Yes, light blue, and they were about 3p. One of my first boyfriends bought me one (we were 12) when Red Rum won the grand national - his dad had put 20p on it for him!

they were a lovely blue. Toffee treats were in the same colour wrapper.Do you remember galaxy counters? They were far nicer than buttons, the same shape as the all chocolate ones in revels - what shape is that?! I think they had a giraffe on the front.

[electricblue]

Oh toffee treats they were lovely!!!!

[A Chill Wind]

Pale turquoise with RIPPLE in yellow capital letters if memory serves.

Galaxy have always been in brown coloured wrappers. However, Cadburys do something similar - Twirl - in a blue wrapper with yellow writing.

we're talking about a LONG time ago, saxyjag. They were definately in blue wrappers. they had a change of image when they did that "Why have cotton when you can have silk" thing.
