the company went bust and started selling chewing gum instead. They were made by Big League Chew.

J/k

arknor · 3 Jan 2009 at 12:45

I used to love those as a kid, they were definitely from Woolworths though

MiNxYyY · 3 Jan 2009 at 12:48

Im going out in a while,il have a look at our big sweet shop and see if i can pick some up

Heofz · 3 Jan 2009 at 12:55

damn you woolworths whyyyyyyy?

yeah MiNxYyY, they were always sold in those red netting bags, never individually, and I remember the netting was always a PITA to rip open with your fingers cos the netting material was pretty strong and finely woven, and I think it even had a wee metal ring at the top keeping the bag closed.

All these details I could remember but not the name lol :mad:

Shape-wise, I'd say each stick was 10cm x 1.5cm x 2mm

damn I'm committed to finding these!!!

It'll be so worth it though...

MiNxYyY · 3 Jan 2009 at 13:14

Well il try my best to find some

il post a pic if i do !

bigchez · 3 Jan 2009 at 15:23

Anything like these?

Carambars alongside dodgy fireworks were my favourite memories of French hols when I was much 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.

Yup, I remember these quite well. Used to buy them in Woolworths all the time as a kid.

Reading through this thread I can just see slowly, but surely, everyone clicking as to what this sweet was

Still no-one remembers the name though! I think I must have been too young

InvaderGIR · 3 Jan 2009 at 15:53

I'm sure the name was 'Fruit Chews' or something very similar to that.

I want some sugary sweets now.
