The stripes are still as orange as ever. And the taste has never changed. It is the same chocolate nugget I used to bite into when I was in elementary school decades ago. Long before Hershey's chocolates, Cadbury's Fruit and Nut bars and Nestle Crunch flooded our grocery stalls, Flat Tops was one of the best.
Sari sari stores repack them and sell them in smaller bags of 6 for P10., way way more affordable than imported chocolates.
Sumire saved one for herself right away, while Hana stashed some in her locker ahead of their other Pinky friends! Wise girls!
Hello Doc! Happy New Year to you! I just saw your comment sa Kritikal Kritiks on Beowulf! It was a really nice movie.
ReplyDeleteNice to know a fellow 80s kid! Nakapunta ka na ba sa Nostalgia Manila? They have lots of the good old stuff there as well.
Thanks again for the visit, and I will be sure to visit your nice blog again. Nice anime figures, by the way!
how is this different from curly tops?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever had this before. I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteI like Hana's locker.
uy, its my favorite too.. pag naumpisahan ko na kumain nyan, ndi ako titigil hangga't ndi nauubos! hahaha..
ReplyDeleteoh.. i love flat tops too!! once you pop, you cant stop. lol :)
ReplyDeleteThe sari-sari store across from my high school used to sell this by piece. This is one of my favorites, too - sometimes I still buy a pack at the grocery just because!
ReplyDeleteSis gita, would you be featuring Serg chocolates too? Those football or egg-shaped ones. Those were fun. :)
Looove flat tops!
ReplyDeleteSis, the Pinky girls have furniture and accessories when you buy them? Ang cute naman, sana may doll house pa!
Ang cute ng girls. I especially like the locker.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see Flat Tops, I remember a friend who loves it.
watson, thanks for passing by. yup, ive got nostalgia manila in my blogginglist. aliw dun.
ReplyDeletemy dolls and i would be glad to have you around every now and then.. happy new year too!
marbes, theyre not much different from each other. i think it is because theyre made by the same company, Ricoh? but i find flat tops a little bit creamier and chocolatier. mas masarap for me than curly tops. try it. ;-)
ReplyDeletesenorE, glad to have you around! anyway, try mo Flat tops... it may not be as good as the imported chocolates around, pero.... basta, it's good. ;-)
ReplyDelete(that locker is part of a Li'l Bratz miniature set... bumagay lang kay Hana. thanks)

Mindy, the dolls come with a spare set of clothes lang and a toy... most of my furnitures were bought separately... anything in the toystore that catches my eye... glad you like them.

ReplyDeleteGita, not at all. She was a co-resident. I discovered Flat Tops through her.
ReplyDeleteNasaan ang comment ko? Hmmm....naalala ko na, nasa flickr...Ay memories....di ba yan talaga, ngmemelt sa dila mo ayaw mo ng mawala ang lasa....hihi. good thing they're still here even after more thatn 20 years in my life!! lol.
ReplyDeletedennis, uy, tira tira! meron pa kaya nyan? yung pag kinagat mo, ayaw maputol... pero ang tigas! hahaha... guaranteed kaaway ng colgate! hahaha...
ReplyDeleteem dy, oooops, akala ko may lub-dub angle... hihihi...
giz, andun nga sa flickr.. hehehe... totoo yan sis, and flat tops hasnt changed talaga. mura pa din!
Hi Gita, I was reading a blog about flat tops, when somehow Serg's chocs came to mind, so I googled it and it brought me to your blog. I'm suddenly feeling homesick for Philippine chocs. I'll make sure to buy a lot of these to bring back home to the grandkids on my next visit. I think we only had curly tops during my time. I'm glad these oldies but goodies (just like me LOL) are still around.
ReplyDeletehi josie! nice of you to drop by! ya, phil chocolates are certainly not the best in the world pero may sentimental value sila sa atin. they bring back old memories diba. para nagiging bata na naman tayo ulit. hehehe...
ReplyDeleteI love Flat Tops! Nagalit pa sa akin yung isa kong kaibigan, kasi she was offering me Curly Tops, I joked, "Wala bang Flat Tops?" kasi it really has a different flavor and texture.
ReplyDeleteweyn, i love flat tops too! mas masarap nga sha than curly tops. but i love them both naman. mas love ko lang si Flat Tops.... ;-)
