Attention 'More Mature Members'

[goldencup]

I've just been browsing the 'Whatever Happened to' section of the excellent 'A quarter of' website - brought back many happy memories!  Oldspice, do you remember Frother bars?

[oldspice]

No? What were they? I'll have to check it out.

At what age do we become mature ?

[Valor]

You're as old as the man/woman you feel

I think you qualify Lou

Is that when you go all hard and crusty with a mould on the outside?
Or am I just thinking of cheese?

[loulou]

I'm not crusty and I don't want to be mature.  I want to be immature.

Goldencup - I looked at that site and I see what you mean about Choc Stix. I have often thought about these bars over the years but could not remember the name or think how to describe them. I ate loads of them as a nipper. I think they were made by Trebor. Am I dreaming or did they make a coffee/chocolate one as well?

 

Along similar lines, do you remember a nice tasting fruit stick bar of a similar type that had a smoth, not twisted shape and tasted like cherry or raspberry but was not very, very sweet?  They were fantastic too.

I don't think I remember coffee flavoured Choc Stix but then I always avoid anything involving coffee.  We always used to buy the sort of caramel flavoured ones after going swimming because it was a long walk home and they lasted for ages.  The red ones you mention sound vaguely remember - I can picture something like that in a jar in the sweet shop.  The Frother bars I said about earlier were fizzy chewy bars in various flavours - they were flat and thin and you could pull them and stretch them into different shapes.  I think they made ones in two flavours as well - a bit like Fruit Salads but always fizzy.

[oldspice]

Ah, that would be why I don't remember them. I always avoided very fizzy things.  I liked chew bars but preferred spearmints ones or those short squat little Fruitella sticks.

 

Do you remember aniseed flavour red liquorice? It is mentioned on that site and I loved it too but you can't buy it now - it's all strawberry flvoured which is all wrong for liquorice IMO.

[goldencup]

Oh yes - those huge 'firemen's hoses'   They were the other essential for the post-swim walk!

Not sure of the spelling, but it was always kay-lie powder for me (or 'acid drop' spangles). Mmmm!
