I know it isn't about chocolate but does anyone recall Argentinian chews?


They were pale blue and white boiled sweets that tasted of cola and as they were sucked became chewy.


I wondered if they were still around.

Can't say I've heard of them, but I am but a mere youngster


When it comes to old-fashioned sweets, Sherbet Pips rule!

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Yes I am in the UK.


I think they were wrapped in clear plastic film individually.


Damn! Nobody seems to recall them.

No I don't remember them, in fact I can't recall any blue sweets!
