Severnlad Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I bet there are not many of you that can remember Fry's 'Five Boys' chocolate bars Quote
Roland Butter Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Yes, I remember "Five Boys" bars. ****** horrible things they were, too Quote
Jo-Bridge Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I was a fan of vice versas- wish they'd bring them back! Quote
bookwormmum Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Never a huge Wispa fan myself, but good news to all choccy fans. Personally I would want the return of Secret bars and Terry's Moment bars. I loved the coconut one. They were yummy. Quote
Severnlad Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Yes, I remember "Five Boys" bars. ****** horrible things they were, too You must be ancient like me then Roland Quote
Severnlad Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Five Boy's was on sale between 1902 and 1971 and here is a reminder of the wrapper. Quote
Sedge Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I used to badger my mother to buy me a 'Texan' because I liked the wrapper. It turned out to be a rock hard lump of toffee which had been rolled in peanuts - mmmm (not)! Quote
Mia Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I was a fan of vice versas- wish they'd bring them back! Yay! I second that - they were great. Personally I would want the return of Secret bars and Terry's Moment bars. I loved the coconut one. They were yummy. Secret bars! Mmm. They were excellent and quite short-lived if I remember correctly. I can't recall Terry's Moment bars at all... Quote
Roland Butter Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 You must be ancient like me then Roland Nah, my grandad told me about them He said they were ****** horrible, too ..... Quote
bookwormmum Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Secret bars! Mmm. They were excellent and quite short-lived if I remember correctly. I can't recall Terry's Moment bars at all... The bars were in hexagonal segments with a hazelnut in caramel inside. Then they brought out a praline version with segments shaped like mountains and a one with round segments with a coconut cream inside. I also long the for the return of black cherry creams in Roses.

Inver Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I bet there are not many of you that can remember Fry's 'Five Boys' chocolate bars I do....lol.... Quote
Roland Butter Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 And did you think they were ****** horrible, too? Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I had a Wispa last night for the first time in ages. After seeing an edvert for a Wispa McFlurry. Quote
Charm Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 oooh i havn't had a wispa in ages. They used to make all different kinds of them - the caramel one was heavenly! Does anyone remember the 'Cabanna' bar? It was coconut, cherries and caramel all covered in chocolate. I used to love them but everyone i mention them to has no idea what i'm on about! I'm beginning to think i dreamt it! Quote
Sedge Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 It was no dream Charm - I seem to remember them being rock hard! Maybe the ones I bought had gone off! Quote

I'm beginning to think i dreamt it! I remember the Cabana bars! They were quite nice but didn't seem to be around for long. Stephanie: I thought Wispas weren't out until October? Quote
Charm Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 I remember the Cabana bars! They were quite nice but didn't seem to be around for long. Phew I'm just glad somebody else remembers them too! Quote
Roland Butter Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 As I'm sure my good friend ii will vouch, Plopp! bars are very big in Sweden Quote
Purple Princess Posted September 30, 2008 Author Posted September 30, 2008 Stephanie: I thought Wispas weren't out until October? I had one on Sunday - it says on the website that will be out on 6th October, but they're here already! Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I had one a few months ago. So they have been out (at least in my area) for that long. It might have been an old one and I maybe should have checked the date Quote
Mia Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Bah! I shall have to go on a Wispa hunt immediately. Looks like the North East got them first - makes a change from London! I hope yours wasn't one from last year, Stephanie! Quote
Inver Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I walked in to Sainsbury's on Friday and they had a display of them at the door and 4 'fell' into the trolley....mmmmm....forgot how nice they were. Quote
Charm Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I walked in to Sainsbury's on Friday and they had a display of them at the door and 4 'fell' into the trolley....mmmmm....forgot how nice they were. My local Spar has a new display fully dedicated to them! Some accidentally 'fell' into my basket too Quote
Raven Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I always preferred Spiras myself! (which were great if you put them in the freezer!). Commenting on posts earlier in the thread, they've bought back both Spangles and Texan bars in recent years. Spangles were done in two different flavours (orange and blackcurrant, if memory serves, and not the multi-flavoured packs of old), and the Texan bars were about half the size of the old ones* - three bites and they were gone! I'd like to have some Rowntree's Fruit Gums made to the recipe they used to use when I was a kid, I used to love them! *Or perhaps my hands have got bigger over the intervening years . . . Quote
Heather Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I had a wispa for the first time in ages it was yummy:mrgreen: Quote
