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”

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!

Yes I remember Splicer bars and wish you could still get them. They were delicious!

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
