Anyone remember "Wham Bars" a fruity chew bar with large clumps of sherbet through them?

urbanmiffed · 03-10-2007, 01:31

Sweet Tobacco, - strands of reddy-brown sugery luvniness.

I'm going to hunt one down tomorrow, are the Wispa gold bars out too?

ikkleosu · 03-10-2007, 01:37

Lots others have said especially Ringos (only cheese and onion crips I ever liked) and Vice Versa.

But my own are:

McCoys Cheddar crips (no onion, just cheese).
Tudor Curry flavour crisps
Raspberry and banana flavour "crisps" (same texture as Wotsists)
Pizza Rolls (a round roll make out of pizza base fileld with pizza topping. Not the pastry ones they came out with later)
TINNED - Chicken injelly (the jelly like you get on ham but loads of it and the chicken wasn't reconstituted it was just shredded breast)
Heinz Vegetable Sald
Banana Bubbles Cereal
Birds Banana Crunch pudding (banan custard with a toffee flavoured biscuit crumble topping)
And my favoruite....Refersher and Fruit Salad flavoured cans of fizzy juice!

I loved it too, I believe it was still available as recently as last year. A traditional sweet shop I visited normally had it on sale but were out of stock and awaiting a new delivery that was overdue. Sadly I was on holiday at the time and didn't have the opportunity to try again.

A google search is probably worth a shot. I've been meaning to do the same but haven't got round to it.

They were. They were only around briefly in the mid 80s. they were like Wotsists or other kind of "puff" snacks but they were raspberry or banana flavoured. I can still remember the taste of the raspberry ones.

You'll be banned from your local!

Turned this up - http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/sweet-tobacco-p-409.html

Works out about the same cost as a twenty pack for a decent amount.

Aaaaargh, thought I was looking at a box of live worms, at first! But sounds lovely.

I've just remembered another...Vitbe Raisin Brans. They came in 6 packs and were lovely...could've chomped the lot in one go!

They sound healthy, quick, pass the worms!

dorydaryl · 03-10-2007, 02:42

Mmmmmm, been drooling away, following up some of the links in this thread.

They can be found here and there, and are quite pricey, but I love those gourmet 'Jelly Belly' jelly beans (49 flavours). Quality, except for one or two of the flavours!

Also, does anyone remember those 'Baskin Robbins' ice cream parlours (late 1970's). There were loads and loads of flavours to try. I think they were in the major cities, but disappeared... I loved most of the flavours, but gagged on the Tutti Fritti one!

Whatever happened to 'Ranchburger' diners, too? I loved those burgers...better than Mc Donald's!

03-10-2007, 03:11

Thought of another couple!

Kellogg's Bran Buds

Rise & Shine Orange Juice powder

You're being sucked into confectionery heaven!

I don't remember Baskin Robbins' having shops of their own but think they were tied up with Dunkin' Donuts latterly.

Dunkin' Donuts fairly recently disappeared from the UK Highstreet though afaik, although I'm not certain.

Perhaps someone else can shed light on the situation.

Never heard of the Ranchburger' diners unfortunately....

Eden Vale Chocolate Yoghurts with a strange hard chocolate topping and dark chocolate bottom.

Oh and Nutties - they were like caramel covered in peanuts

Ohhhh,. now you've reminded me of a yoghurt they did which had a crunchy topping for it, a bit like musli or such like. Flipping loved that I did!!

Topic, that's not about any more either is it. A hazelnut in every bite.
And what about Triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioooooo, has that gone too?

You can also get it here plus a few other places.

What about this bubblegum, I used to buy that a lot as a kid.
