Evolution?
Have seen your ones with sugar coating, but didn't they start out as a thin long lozenge with no sugar on? This is what I remember as the first version, then the sugared oval version came out.
Am I wrong?
Does anyone else remember these sweets?

Black Anglo Bubbly = Spooks?
Yeah I remember them! They were called Spook. Round liqourice flavour black chewing gum, they made a heck of a mess if the bubble you blew popped over your face!!

So Spira sad!
I am very upset and sadly because i can't find my fav Cadbury's Spira...
Posted on January 24, 2006
i believe it was dropped due to "dipped" being added to the Cadburys Flake range ;-)
keep and eye out for these as they are basically the same bar (albeit single finger rather)
Hope this helps

Ditto. I used to love Spira and sometimes I'd suck tea up through the little tiny hole in the middle you sometimes got in the sticks. Ahh... memories.

Spira's do seem to pop up in remote village Post Offices, probably old stock! I can't really see the resemblence to Flake dipped, they're a different texture-not so crumbly and creamy, but still nice! Reference to using the sticks to suck up tea, I used to like to dip a Wispa into tea, it would suck it up like a sponge! Where have they gone?
Talking of delicious Cadbury's choc, does anyone know whatever happened to Top Deck? A 100g bar of Dairy Milk with a layer of white choc on top?!

Spira's had a 'cross section' resembling a six-spoke wheel, if I recall?

Caron you mentioned Wispa, I remember thm and I wish they would bring them back. Havn't seen them for years......Does anyone know of anywhere they are still sold? Please help, my 15 year old son thinks I'm mad talking about old sweets.
