Wham and Howler bars anyone?

Never heard of Howler bars, but the sweet shop near me has Wham!, Wham! Brew and Wham! Cola bars. Mmmmmm, Wham-brew........

[SoupDragon]

Wham Brew are great, a shop near me does them too. And the original was my favourite sweet.

Anyone remember a cloudy white isotonic coconut drink called Pocari? Disgusting stuff.
I remeber when it hit the shops when I was in school. Some kid was raving about it cos he reckoned it was going to replace coke.

And Tab Clear. That was weird. Clear Cola.

Irn Bru bar by MacCowens? Yes, I loved those. The sugary bits that made it stick in your teeth, and were sweet and sour at the same time. Used to buy 15 bars at a time. Probably explains my withdrawl symptoms

The Twister ice cream is still going apparently. I have just done a quick web search and they are still there.

Does anyone remember Calypso ice lollies. They were fruit flavoured and came in a weird cardboard tube, and you squeezed it to get the lolly out. Are they still being made?

They do still exist; they're completely different on the continent though (same thing, but colours/flavours all mix-muddled up...)

Calypsos certainly were still about last summer.

Get these in my local SPAR along with Feasts with no problems whatsoever

Glad to hear it. Thank you to everyone for all the replies. I also remember the Mini Milks as well.

Thems the ones. They don't make 'em like they used to

[Helensification]

I live on Calippo's - always have boxes of the mini ones in the freezer.

Calypso's are the sort of pyramid shaped cardboard covered ice lollies you bought in liquid form and then froze.

Love Tunnocks, Liquorice Allsorts and remember almost all of the things metioned so far.

I loved a biscuit in the 70's from McVities called Rondello. Does anyone remember them?

Tell me about it. I used to love them.
