Man reveals bizarre collection of treats going back 25 years

Daily Post, May 8, 2017 -- One man in Wales has been stashing limited edition candy bars for decades - including some with special Westlife and Spice Girls wrappers (yes, that's how old they are).

Lester Hughes, from Pwllheli, has bags and boxes full of the stuff and has even been offered £40 for his special Star Wars-themed bars.

Some even went out of date in the early 1990s and he stopped collecting more than 15 years ago when he had a 'freezer disaster' - but he still has a cellar full of them.

The 47-year-old father-of-two told The Daily Post: "I can't remember exactly why I started collecting. I think I saw ‘limited edition’ on a bar once and thought, ‘why not buy it and save it’."
