Can you help me, i often reminisce about a chocolate bar i used to eat when doing my paper round 20 years ago. It was called Skippy, it had a blue wrapper with red and yellow writing. They where a bit thicker than a curly wurley with a biscuit base a thin layer of caramel all wrapped up with a coating of chocolate. I have searched on Google but cant find any references, all it came up with was some peanut butter bar.

Am i going mad?

No, I remember them. They were like a single Twix.

I used to love them..they were like a very chewy 'Drifter' finger. I have been totally unable to find anything about their existence on the net...strange huh???

Whatever happened to... Skippy Bars?

Skippy bars

In the 1960's I used to eat a skippy bar almost every day.

When did they stop making them?

You are obviously not alone in missing them!

Whatever happened to Skippy anyway. Did he retire, die or just get fed up with rescuing stupid kids from down mines and simply went on strike?

Nope. I ate him at a restaurant a fortnight ago today <burp> and let me tell you he was bloody chewy, weren'tcha Skips?

It does seem weird, i thought the internet knew everything about everything. Yet there is nothing on the web about the Skippy bars we all love. (Not the old nutty thing that some people might get mixed up with Or the animal for that matter)

Does anybody know of any choc bar wrapper collectors, they might be able to give us a picture, just for old times sake!

There are actually lots of bits and pieces on the internet about Skippy bars (one I quoted earlier). Just nothing official and no picture.

Try Skippypaedia!

If you have found anything on the net could you give me some links. The only "Skippy" information i can find is either about the peanut butter Skippys or Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.

TVCream.org has a small mention.

Golden cup, What was the Skippy bar like that you ate in the 60's. Is it the same as the 1 im asking about from the 80's?
