Oh wow, Wham bars. Nothing sweeter, guaranteed to remove loose fillings!

I used to eat them all the time.

I have a bag of this on my way to me! Can't wait.

Wham Bars... same type of sweet as a Refresher or Fruit Salad, except it's a flat bar. Really sticks in your teeth.

Wham bars are still awesome though, like all childhood sweets, are now way too small!

I'll never own too many items with which to enjoy coffee.

I am with you CakeBoy, I have never heard of them either. Just one sip of this coffee and I was taken back to my childhood eating fruit salad sweets though. :D

wagon wheels have certainly shrunk, they must be a 10th of the size they used to be i'm sure, as for the ilusion, i enjoyed a bag a couple of weeks ago, although it arrived at a very bad time at work and i didn't get chance to really appreciate it while it was fresh, i think it might be a nice christmas present to myself to get another bag, when i am off work.

Oh those! Well sort of .... I remember the bars, though I think they may have been called something else back in the 'old days' when I was a boy ....... :D

nah, that's just your mind playing tricks at 3am :P

I do hope that the average member appreciates the insomnia we go through to keep this place running :wink: And people refer to it as a mad house :roll:
