    when i was around ten years of age (1994), i used to love an ice cream called sky,it was in a blue wrapper and it was chocolate coverd with ice cream and a flake like chocolate stick in the middle,would love to have one now,any1 remember it and who used to produce it?i feel a wispa type campaign could be the trick.
    the chunky bar was in a cream wrapper and was ice crem block coverd in chocolate,that was always my number two,also no longer on the market.

    both of these were absolutely delish such a shame they did away with them especially sky

    it was like an aero surrounded by ice cream covered in chocolate

    i think it might have been walls who made them but i could be wrong

    chunky was lovely too but not quite as nice

    I had forgotten about them. :D

    I worked for HB/vandenburg foods for a while, the Chunky and Sky Bars were the start of the more expensive type of ice-cream bars before the likes of Galaxy and Solero got a grip on the market. (along with mini-romantica's) They were never really popular when filling the fridges in shops as they were always the ones that sold the least. (probably due to the higher price) I got LOADS of them for free and our fridge at home was always jam packed with them, but I always preferred the cheaper ice-pops like Loop the Loop,
    Brunch and wibbly wobbly wonder.

    Loop the loops would have loved an all yellow and jelly bit the lime
    green bit was always the least desired.

    If only HB would bring back Fat-Frogs! there are LOADS of people that keep mentioning these and HB have said they
    have no plans on re-releasing them in the past.

    Given the popularity of all things retro lately you'd have thought it was the perfect time to re-introduce them to the market. There's a whole generation of kids who've yet to taste the goodness of Fat Frogs and there's a crop of 30-somethings who'd love to taste them again.
