I think we had Whispers here for a while?

Question, never heard of it, looks tasty from the pic, is it like those Kinder egg type bars?? With the white on the inside?

Your thinking of Whispa's - Cadburys attempt to compete with Aero bars.

There is a south african shop selling goods and foodstuffs near the Jervis centre (just off lower capel street). Wonder if they might have that stuff?

Sorry for the late reply

Yeah the Question bars have a kinder-like white filling.

My boyfriend goes to that South African shop whenever he visits Dublin and stocks up on stuff so they probably have those sweets there Oh try their jellytots too, they definitely have those!

Meg, where is the shop in Dublin? Would love to try Question bars.

Don't think I was thinking of Wispas, they are bars and I'm a child of the 80's! On further thought, I was probably thinking of Moments (?), little balls of chocolate?

Cadbury's Whispers are very similar to our Malteasers, I thought. Maybe a bit more chocolatey than our Malteasers.

This is the website for the shop with the address and they also have a list of all their stock http://www.jabula.ie/stocklist.html

Hope this helps They have Question bars! I cant remember the name of their jellytots but they're in a yellow packet. Highly recommended too! Pity there is no SA shop in Cork. Really missing SA stuff since we came back from our hols

I found the chocolate in Africa to be vile. It melts then goes solid again before its sold. So its powdery and gritty. Yuck.

I didn't have Strawberry Fanta, but there was tropical and blackcurrant in Kenya.

Those Whispers look amazing...
