    Anyone remember Gorgo Bars.
    They were similar to Wham Bars but green with black speckles.
    We used to get them in the Tallaght Town Centre as kids back in the 80's.

    I've found a picture but it clashes with what I remember, maybe I'm getting the name wrong!

    Another picture would be class

    Yes! I remember them, they were lovely. My mouth is watering right now thinking of them. I thought they were called Gargoyle Bars though. Never found anything on google about them, perhaps they were Gorgo then.

    I always remember the 'Gargoyle' standing over a cauldron on the lable.


    Note: When you type in "Gorgo Bars" into google it comes up
    "Did you mean 'Go-Go Bars':eek:

    absolutely loved gorgo bars, especially the fizzy stones. that wrapper is not the one i remember from the 80s. It had a green dude on it.

    I'm getting 'Go Go Bars' in google too :pac:

    Came up with this thread from here 8 years ago: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=71345

    Guess it was Gorgo. I just have a vague recollection of them from when I was around 5, and also Battle of the Planets bars, nyom. Was the Gorgo packet green and black also?

    I do remember a bar very like wham, think the inside could have been black with green spec's can't remember, probably only bought as the shop was out of wham bars, I don't think i've ever seen the name or the wrapper above though.
