whatever happened to texan bars?

Remember the advert on TV? A Clint Eastwood style cowboy in a spot of bother, captured by some sombrero wearing outlaws. One asks the cowboy, "A last request gringo?"

The cowboy asks for a Texan bar. He chews on it laconically (love that word!) and it takes him so long to eat it that the baddies fall asleep and he escapes!

texan bars

"Texan... sure is a mighty chew."

Texans made a very brief, limited edition re-appearance in 2005 but we fear they have now gone for good.

Hi, we've been working on this for ages and finally it is ready!

We always wanted 'A Quarter Of' to be an interactive site, so that it becomes the definitive place on the Internet for all things old and sweet! In the four years since we first started we have had stacks of emails from people asking us questions about their favourite sweets from days gone by ... and even better from people telling us their memories. We've been saving all of these and working on a way to share them with you!

We get lots of requests to add sweets to A Quarter Of. While we try to find as many as we can to add to A Quarter Of..., many of the old favourites have disappeared. We thought it would be a good idea to set up a page of the most requested sweets and what we understand happened to them... unless you know better (if so please tell us at whatever@aquarterof.co.uk)
