woppa bars.. I'd forgotten all about them

oh jesus, I want one.

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

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

tinkerbell

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!!

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)

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.

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

babaduck

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

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

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

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.

Texan's
Trigger's

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

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

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.

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

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

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...
