aye thats the ones with the orange coloured wrapper, quality stuff.

I was always really fond of Pow Wows and Buster bars. Then again Flippers were always gorgeous too but bound to be full of sugar, but the king of all childhood sweetie favourites were Fizzle Sticks!

Woden

also quality stuff, was dip dabs and double dabs, and those sour chewing gum eye poppers or something

Kalina

Ahhh flogs, used to buy bags of just them and eat them til I was about ready to explode!!

ford fiesta

Dont forget the big refresher sweets, with the sherbet inside, for 3p

there used be a bit of contravercy round my way about the actual pronounciation of woopa bars, some pronounced it woopa, with the oo sound as in "zoo" kinda like wupa, some pronounced it woopa with the op sound as in "shop" kinda like wopa.
arguements bout which one was right divided communities.

Woden

yeah but its blatently the one that sounds like shop, not like zoo there will be no discussion on this i am right

lyonsy

i've always been an oo man: its woopa as in woop dee doo

Kalina

Yes, you are right Data, that's how it was pronounced when I was a kid! Nice bars they were too!! Bit chewy though, always got stuck in my teeth- dentists nightmare!!

Woden

there was a fairly minging mint flavoured one also which wasn't the way forward

evie

The mint one was my fav - the best! Greeny goodness. They're actually selling all those bars the UCC shop at the minute and I reckon they're making a mint (no pun intended). I haven't seen anyone just pass them by anyway!
