woppa bars.. I'd forgotten all about them

oh jesus, I want one.

neGev · 21-03-2005 9:09pm

Does anyone know if they're still making Feast ice-creams?
I hadn't had one for years, then I suddenly decided that I wanted one and couldn't find them anywhere. Say it ain't so.

Shabadu · 21-03-2005 9:12pm

There are still feasts, don't panic. Eating off all the ice cream and then going for the mocklate. Best ever.

tinkerbell · 21-03-2005 9:16pm

They are definitely still making Feasts, they are one of my favourite ice creams

I really miss HB Sparkles - I loved the orange one, but I really really loved the Strawberry & Pear / Strawberry & Apple ones - remember, they were red & white / red & green .... mmmm ... they were sooooooooooooooo nice.

Bring them back!!

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 21-03-2005 9:27pm

Been looking everywhere for that HB "Frozen Yogurt". A couple of people have said they have pulled it from the Irish market?? Maybe someone can confirm that?

It was lovely too. Thank god its still available in the North! (I tnk its under Carte D'Or)

Magic Monkey · 21-03-2005 10:23pm

Wispas. I'd take a bullet to have them brought back.

Bubblys just don't cut it at all.

Cathy · 21-03-2005 10:29pm

Macaroon bars! Roy of the Rovers bars...
Can you still get either of those?

Aquos76 · 21-03-2005 10:52pm

Fizzle sticks and eating paper

Cathy · 21-03-2005 10:55pm

Although they still sell them in some places, so they don't really count, I suppose.

RustySpoon · 22-03-2005 11:17am

here you go folks, take a trip down memory lane with this site.

You can still get these in the Student Union shops in DIT and some of the older northside convenience shops, like the hilariously named 'Convenient' shop near Phibsboro.

wibbly wobbly wonders
flying saucers

Poppets!

babaduck · 23-03-2005 12:43pm

You can still buy Poppets & Wham bars - saw them both in a garage in Wexford this morning

Was the garage in the backarse of nowhere though? probably best before august 1985

babaduck · 23-03-2005 4:20pm

Believe it or not... no! Maxol in Ardcavan (on the coast road 3 miles from Wexford) and at the Statoil in Arklow

Pinkchick03 · 23-03-2005 4:39pm

anyone remember sky bars (they were like a wispa, covered in ice-cream and then covered with chocolate?!) they were yum and they aren't available anymore!

0utshined · 23-03-2005 7:33pm

I've just remembered Quatro bars. There were 8 squares to a bar and it was divided in 4 , with 2 squares of orange flavour, 2 mint etc. They were the business nyom nyom nyom.

They were absolutly divine- it was our treat after a sunday turning turf on the bogs of mountmellick in laois

monkeyfudge · 23-03-2005 8:14pm

Wasn't there a pyramid chocolate thing...? It might have been by Terrys. I think it came in mint and mint orange flavours but never proved as popular as their Chocolate Oranges.

Dr. Dre · 24-03-2005 9:26am

Texan's
Trigger's

Pinkchick03 · 24-03-2005 9:40am

Remember they had a yorkie, it had a black cover - it had roasted nuts and other types of nuts in it - that was gorgeous. It was probably a limited edition. I hate the way they do that...!

michelleb1985 · 29-03-2005 3:30pm

does anyone remember an ice cream that was out like 3 or 4 years ago, it was like a taco shaped wafer with ice cream and stripes of caramel inside with chocolate covering the opening? its wrecking my swede trying to remember the name of it, it was yum.

That's probably because they've been there for at least five years

Alanna · 29-03-2005 4:30pm

Does anyone remember Pink Panther bars? they were made from pink white chocolate and I last remember having one circa 1978. I just remembered them last night and think they are probably the reason I like Lir strawberry white chocolate truffles so much!

OH MY GOD - someone else that remembers Two & Two's they were my all time fav bar as a kid.

I wish they would bring them back. I nearly had a nervous breakdown when they were withdrawn.

It was called the Terry's Pyramint...bloody nice too...like a huge After Eight. But in a pyramid shape... obviously.

Terrys did two other nice bars.

One which had 5 hexagonal squares in a strip...they had a hazelnut and carmel inside.

They also had another 5 sectioned bar that was meant to resemble mountain peaks. It had white choc on the peak to resemble snow and a truffley fondant centre.

I liked them i did. They weren't Terry's there were mine....all mine.

edible paper- eat it in the middle of class and the teachers give you the strangest looks!

gonker · 02-04-2005 8:09pm

Two n two was my favourite bar. Does anyone remember what the flavour was? Also the bar of chocolate that was like a box of chocolates in a bar if you know what i mean chocolates joined together with chocolate. Five centres or something like that.? Ring a bell anyone?

I think you are thinking about the Quatro bar. It had mint, pineapple, strawberry, orange in a 2 x 4 square bar.

As for two & two i think it was a white and brown fondant centre. Used to be a sweet like it in Double Centres until last year.

gonker · 02-04-2005 9:21pm

no definitely it was like a layer of chocolates the shapes and all bonded together with chocolate i think now it was called a milk tray bar. The two and two flavour is still annoying me

I agree, why oh why did they get rid of them?

When I was little I loved fizzy lizzys, yum. And there was some stuff that you'd put in your mouth and it would sort of explode, I forget the name.

Doodah7 · 06-04-2005 5:49pm

A lot of memories in this thread!!! I remember when a Starbar was called Nunch, it came in a blue wrapper.

Also what did HB do to the Loop the Loop ice cream. My absolute favourity and they changed the taste and texture of the yellow bit. Absolutely yuck now...

gonker · 06-04-2005 6:45pm

Anyone remember those Vice Versa sweets?? One was brown on the outside - but had white choc and the other had a white shell with milk chocolate. the stuff of genius!

Or Secret bars. they had a strange cardbord holding the bar, despite having a wrapper!? It had a velvety cream inside .....im foaming at the mouth!

Stench Blossoms · 06-04-2005 7:34pm

Nevyn · 06-04-2005 10:04pm
