Yes, I do, but haven't found anyone else who does!


There was a milk version with plain chocolate in the middle and a plain version with milk chocolate in the middle. I even remember a mint version with plain chocolate top and bottom and a white mint filling in the sandwhich!


I wasn't being funny about Frys Five Centres Smurfy - and I agree with you that if manufactering became difficult, the popularity would have to be huge to keep them going - that's what I was trying to (badly) say- they were popular but modern day costs put the kybosh on them!



It's a great pity because there is absolutely nothing like it on the market. These sandwich bars sound great - I bet they'd be huge if they were launched now.

They were around for years and years and I can't remember when they disappeared but you know what it's like - suddenly they're just not there anymore.

Does anyone else think they'd sell well now? (The sandwich bars, not FFC.) They sound nice without being unusual enough to scare people off; no worrying fruit etc!

At the present time I just buy the original, but if they brought back the 5 centres I would definatley by it.  Oldspice is correct about things just vanishing. You can guarantee whatever I like they stop selling

Anyone know if there is a product similar to the 'Five Centres' bar?....
 

Not Fry's, but another company's product.

Leaf used to make a whole series with cream centres (maybe they still do), and seemingly always on offer at Woolies. And rightly so - they were vile.

Never heard of them, to be honest. They still for sale?.

Haven't seen them for a while, but it might be worth checking the pound shops - it'd be the sort of line they'd carry.

I could be mistaken but I'm sure I've seen these somewhere. Now I've got to hunt for them tomorrow!
I'll let you know if I find them. :D

It has always slightly concerned me that they went with orange just assuming that orange would be the most popular because there are always a lot of chocolate orange products already available. Frys Five Centres were amazing. For some reason the five centres didn't always come in the same order (unless i just started at a different end and have forgotten which may have been the case as I haven't had one for 16 long years) but I wonder if they did hold a survey whether orange would be the flavour people want as a whole bar. I'd have to say strawberry (or the pink bit if it wasn't strawberry). The nearest you can get to that is a Raspberry Ruffle but that's just not the same thing really, like Supa Noodles aren't the same as Pot Noodles but you might think so if you weren't initiated. I don't know who decided that orange would be the default flavour for chocolate.

I liked that one as well.  In fact, I don't think there's one I don't like.
