A chew bar. Multi coloured stripes of green, yellow and pink. Unsure of manufacturer. Was out just before WHAM’s and the pies de resistance was when you put it in the fridge! Superb!

At last – someone else remembers Splicer bars! My Brother is convinced I made it up – or it’s a throwback from smoking something leftover from the 60s. I remember the ad with the racing cars and the winner with a tropy full of Splicer bars – even the song…………’Splicer is nicer, it’s great every time – bursting with raspberry and lemon & lime’…… sad I know. Please someone prove me right!

These were a chewy bars each one was all different colours. the advert used to show people from all walks of life including a policeman biting into a splicer and turning into all colours (just like the bar itself)

Yes, and I even remember the jingle and the music to the advert! How sad is that!?
It goes like this:
“Splicer is nicer than any I know
The chewiest, newest star of the show”
Matt remembers: -
Oh yes indeed – I remember eating many of them as a seven year old, and they had a strapline on the adverts of “Splicer is Nicer” (original!). Does anyone remember those funny multi coloured cardboard hats they gave away with them now and again, which started off flat and you popped up the middle to find a rainbow spiral? They broke within about 5 minutes, but they were fun!

I remember these bars. If I remember correctly the advert showed someone walking along the street and everything was completely white. When they took a bit of the splicer bar, everthing surrounding them took on all different colours. The bar used to remind me of squashed up opal fruits. All the good ones seem to fade away
