They didn't have a specific name, it was a description like "fruity chew bars" or something. The lemon ones were best.

What do you mean 'were'? They're still around you know

I used to have small bag of them every week when i was younger

I know exactly what you mean. They were all in different colour wrappers but they had the same taste. They only sold them in Woolworths to my knowledge though.

No

Fair do's, that's why I asked, as I've never had one

Just going by the packaging that is all

yeah but dimension-wise they were much smaller than those big refresher bars u could get, think of a stick of gum but stretched longer and more narrow

Only other thing's I've noted are those Pencil stick thing's, or Rainbow / Strawberry belt things.

Hopefully this pic i just made in ms paint might jog some memories

They looked something like this, obviously the labels might be wrong:

Ooh I remember those, probably 10 years now - no idea what they were called though.

manic111 · 3 Jan 2009 at 11:55
