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.

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!

Two & Two (this was a super magic choc bar)

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 I nearly had a nervous breakdown when they were withdrawn.

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.

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

Wispas. I'd take a bullet to have them brought back.

Bubblys just don't cut it at all.

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.

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...

This is the first time I have ever met anyone else who remembers these. None of my friends can remember them. They were nice.

Does anyone remember the name of a bar made by Nestle, i think, which was a soft, fondant-like centre, wrapped with delicate chocolate string? It somewhat resembled a bird's nest, in bar form, and was 90% air, but was really nice. It came wrapped in a little cardboard insert as it would have broken apart without it.

annette curtain

I had a Melody pop yesterday...
They have them in a petrol station in Grange, Sligo.

I've been trying to get my hands on some red liquorice for years, to no avail. Not the stuff that looks like red liquorice and tastes of strawberry, but red liquorice! Used to come in the retail boxes of assorted liquorice by Bassetts, I used to get a box from Musgraves in Cork every now and then.

BTW, Wibbly Wobbly Wonders are still available in a couple of shops down here in Cork occasionally, notably the Esso garage in Dunmahon. They're still just as yum.
