Was it a spangle?

Can anyone remember the name of a sweet bar type thing years ago that was about 6 ' long and was chewey like Opal Fruits, it had 4 colours on it all in stripes down the way, think the colours were pink, yellow, green and orange (they were almost illuminous, I do know they don't make them anymore

[Wee Kaz]

Cheers Ned Flanders, your right I was thinking of my man's "todger" 6 feet not inches, don't be jelous now!

Ned is right wee kaz sounds like u r not being satisfied by u r man - is this true ? or do u just have a vivid imagination?

[Wee Kaz]

Ned, I have to stick up (no pun intended) for my man in his absence otherwise who else would defend him and his todger? Mind you I have to say I do have a good imagination and yes Moe Szyslak I was exaggerating maybe a little but it certainly keeps me satisfied, my neighbours can testify to that!!

The walls in those new houses are awfully thin aren't they ?

Einstein is correct for a change (see alan titchmarsh). Spangles were 20 x 20 x 8mm fizzy sweets. You aren't thinking of Swizzler's Refresher bar are you - they are fizzy brightly coloured chewy bars that come in 6" and 10" lengths and are still available in Woolworths and all other good highstreet confectioners.

[Wee Kaz]

Nope, defo not a refresher bar, but they are good too?

The correct name of th chewy 6" opal fruit like bar was a "splicer", not a spangle bar. They were great.

[Wee Kaz]

Thanks Leg of Lamb, you're right!! I can remember now, I can rest in peace!

There was also a chewy bar called a 'Striker' which came in illuminous colours and was available at the same time as spangles. Do you remember pacers? Hhhmmm minty...

Thank god! I thought I was going mad - nobody else I know remembers "spilcer" They were lovely...mmmmm
