Whatever happened to... Laser?
Seeking the light!
Just an email to see if you know whether laser bars are still made. Would
really appreciate some feed back on this. Thanks in advance

LASER BARS....THATS IT!!!! I've been trying for EVER to remember them. They were basically made from whatever is the inside of Cola Cubes weren't they? You know the hard bit that goes chewy.

Used to Love Laser bars, would like to see them again mmmmmm like a cola/tizer sort of flavour.
And yes they were like the centre of a cola cube, but hard boiled and about 1cm x 10cm in size

Laser Bar
Red wrapper, 1cm thick approx 8cm long. The actually sweet was half red half yellow striped length ways. The consistency was hard like a boiled sweet. The taste was sharp and a little sour....

I am so glad to see other people remember laser bars - I loved them until I broke a tooth on one. I made the mistake of trying to bite it when break was nearly over at school and managed to break off part of my tooth!

I used to love laser bars, then they disappeared from the shops. If anyone knows if they are still made or where to get some I'd be very grateful to find out. I'm going to keep searching and if I find some I'll be back to let you know where you can get them. Cheers!
