Bars of sugary crap.

[RJ Fan club]

An intriguing title for a thread I'm sure you'll agree.

 

Anyway down to the point. I'm craving some form of sugary crap, not so much that I can be arsed going down the 24 hour garage like, but still it got me thinking.

 

I went to Aldershot for f**tball reasons a few weeks ago and encountered a garage that sold an amazing variety of sugary shit. Refresher bars (original and strawberry) wham bars, sherbet dib dabs, etc, etc all mod cons. I didn't see any highland toffee bars, but still it was quite a comprehensive range on display.

 

Anyway it got me thinking that I don't see much of these kind of things these days. Maybe because I'm over 6ft and my eye line is more easily drawn towards the top shelf smut than the sweets, more than likely its just some kind of shit house EU directive to stop our kids eating British high grade tooth roting sweets.

 

My mission tomorrow will be to secure some refresher bars as I don't hold out much hope of wham bars as I do not pass any state schools on the way to work.

 

Feel free to experiment with them yourself.

Parma violets are girls sweets and would be a let down. I quiet like the pack of three small boiled sweets, but not had them in years and could prove a disappointment.

 

I will checkout this multi pack lark, but would much prefer a bar or two of unadulterated sugary shite.

 

An Irn Bru bar would be a cheeky little side line if I could get it. The optimum achievement would be a large yellow refresher.

These were a favourite of mine, the Irn bru bar is a good shout. The swizzels multi-packs have far too many of those mini balls.

Just been told that BHS are selling big packs of blue and yellow refreshers as Christmas presents.

 

Sweet jar was a disappointment. Had to make do with swizzels "double lolly" and some cherry flavour fizzy lolly.

 

Repped.

 

*adds sugary crap to Christmas list*

Can't beat a double dip.

Does anyone remember the Gargoyle Bar? It was like a Wham Bar but green with a Gargoyle on the packet. I would do anything to have another Gargoyle Bar.

Stingers, snap and crackles all kinds of shit in the shop part of this site

 

Swizzels Matlow

 

Sadly no Gargoyles, who made them TK?

 

Edit: woo hoo, highland toffee Buy retro sweets - Space dust, Wham bars, Anglo Bubbly, Parma Violets, Sweets reunited

It was probably the same people who made the Wham, it was green with dark bits in.

Desperate Dan bars. Nice.

Lanky Larry chew bar 10p each. I used to buy loads of these at dinner time in school. Ahh they were the days.

No way! Those things ruled. Almost as cool as Brown Sauce yo'

 

edit : Fizz Wizz! That's some serious retro stuff, I used to love that.

Nothing beats wham bars.

Nothing beats wham bars.

Modern-day Wham bars are rubbish. They're about half the size and nowhere near as tangy.

 

Anyone remember Roy of the Rovers bars?

[Tony Moanero]

Caramacs are boss.

Yes. They were boss. far to rare. Whams were ace too. And Highland Toffees

[Tony Moanero]

Black Jacks and Fruit Salads were ace. They're tiny now. Mingebags.

Bloody horrible. Chalky, tasteless little buggers, and you never got the letters needed to spell out swear words.

I get these myself. Not cheap though. I have been getting boxes of different flavours from ebay.

[Lee909]

no they are not cheap

Holland and barret has them at but 1 get one half price at the moment and i normally rack up enough points in there to get a 3 or 4 free every few months

 

Might have to look at a boz or two,do you get from any seller imparticular?
