Posted on April 19, 2005
these bars f@#$ing rocked!!!!!! what ever happened to them? were they toxic or somethin? i suppose they were pretty addictive since im still craving them 20 years later?!?!?!?!
Posted by: karen on June 7, 2006
Yeah I remember them! They were awesome bars. I remember them being much larger in size than a Wham! bar, and also the black parts being super-sour in taste, so much so that a whole bar would last me a couple of days easily - especially as they'd turn your tongue green. Great sci-fi comic book wrapper artwork too. I thought they were called 'Gorgon' Bars, but I reckon Gorgo is correct :)

Chocolate traffic lolly
It was a hard lolly covered in thick chocolate, once you had chewed all the chocolate off the lolly underneath was like a traffic light, red green and yellow.I only remember them in the late 60s. Also I remember those bags of 'gold' bubblegum that looked like sweetcorn in little bags tied up with string.AND, at christmas we had these chocolate covered soldiers from woolworths. I have never tasted anything so delicious since, and only a few people I speak to ever remember them.....
