Never heard of them. If anyone finds them, I'll happily be a taster.

Really? Even though the last one was made about thirty years back?

How do you know that they're not still making it? Somewhere there might still be a factory.

Uh-huh. There are 10-15 regulars on here who would eat anything (almost) chocolate. We tend to scour shops/sites for new products. I think we would know if it was available.

Yes, a special, secret factory that a) no one knows about and b) does not distribute its products into any shops.

You must be thinking of something different, the bars im talking about were around in the 80's. Read the above posts for a description. I hate peanuts and anything else nutty, that’s why i tried to make sure people are thinking of the same thing as me. I definitely am NOT talking about the nutty Skippy’s i don’t even know of a nutty Skippy bar, they were in the 60's from what i can figure out.

I wasn’t around then!

Well thirty years or twenty, I think the point remains the same.

phyllisbermann · « **Reply #22 on:** July 05, 2006, 05:46:16 pm »

They might be available in another country. You NEVER know.

smurfboy · « **Reply #23 on:** July 05, 2006, 06:02:44 pm »

Well actually I do. They were made by Cadbury and Cadbury have a list of brands on their site and the countries in which you can buy them.

My earlier post was from somebody else on here who apparently ate a Skippy bar every day in the 60's. It wasn't me. I researched them for somebody on another site and then found the quote about them being like a single Twix or Drifter. This person was eating them in the 80s in the UK and agreed with the description. It's just a question of determined Googling that I don't feel like doing all over again - sorry!

Yes, that arthritis in your hands doesn't get any better with googling, does it GC?

goldencup · « **Reply #26 on:** July 06, 2006, 09:43:00 pm »

I do have arthritis in one hand actually.

Oops! That's backfired on me. Sorry.

« **Reply #28 on:** July 06, 2006, 10:08:17 pm »

Actually, I'm surprised I don't have it too. Mind you, my eyesight is getting worse..........
