...or something like that

Excellent news anyway

Now when will they bring back the SPLICER bar? I used to love them.
(Think opal fruits squashed together, twisted and flattened into a bar... mmmmm )

The shops have gone retro sweets mad - popped to the Spar tonight and not only did they have Texan bars, they also had Sherbert Dips (complete with proper paper tube and liquorice sticking out), those Dib Dab things (sherbert with lolly) and Caramac

Have the sherbert dip sitting downstairs now

Try one of the newer dairy milk bars and see for yourself- dary milk bubbles i think is the proper name. They did it to bring more bars under the dairy milk name.

Different name and packaging but most certainly exactly the same as a wispa My favourite too

No way, Bubbles is like an Aero, the bubbles in a Wispa were much finer

38p or 4 for £1

It wasnt a Splicer bar the stripey fruit thing, was the Striper bar.

Pacers were minty flavour nasty Opal Fruit shaped things, Cabana was bounty with some glace cherry in.

Can wait for the Wispa to re-appear, went very well dunked in Tea !

Bought a Texan bar at Shell over the weekend, 45p.

Pretty much the same, but 2/3rds the size i'd estimate. Too small to become a regular favourite.

Are you sure?
Google both names - they both seem to come up in the nostagic sites:

Splicer
or
Striper

Maybe they had two names?

Either way, they must bring them back

So, I'm guessing none of you would be interested in this website then...?
