Re: Defunct sweets?

Can anyone remember harp shaped sweet, though they looked like an ear to me , shaped sweets they were pink, and chewy but kind of hard too .
any ideas what they were called, please dont say pink harps .

Do you mean the fondant Shrimps?

Hi

I'm new here and love this site!

I am hoping to find out if anyone remembers buying small packets of gum that had a small 3D flicker picture inside the wrapper?? We used to buy them all the time and cannot find anyone else that remembers them. Have tried eBay and Google.

Here's hoping!

They were cartoon type pictures, about 1.5cm square I think. I remember an octopus one and a cowboy scene.

Do a google search for 'retro sweets' theres quite a few cool sites that have wham bars, lovehearts and things like that. No Texan bars as yet..

Re: Defunct sweets?

Texans came back and went again last year..far too small

Re: Defunct sweets?

do they still sell double deckers?

Re: Defunct sweets?

Yes they do.

For a long time they were my fave choc bar when I was a kid, I had one recently and they tasted good, just how I remembered them.

Yeah what a let down that was

One bite and it was gone, they cant have been that small when they were out originally

[sixtyten]

Re: Defunct sweets?

I don't recall them being that small,no. they were tasty (the reissues),but I felt cheated

Re: Defunct sweets?

when I won those sweets a while back I thought how small the wham bar was, until I put it in the tiny hands of my four year old child.

having said that I do believe they have shrank many sweet treats.

Re: Defunct sweets?

I had a Wham! bar too last week
I think they get bigger,then they reduced them when the fuss is over..
If they were still proclaiming Biggest bar ever,after all these years, it would now be the size of a shoebox!
