Do you get Curly-Wurlys outside of the UK?

[Freebasser]

Do you get them?

[na§tee]

yes you do. you get them in australiaaarrrggghhh.

[Freebasser]

Do they pluralise them correctly?

[roosta]

yes!

I had a scottish boss back in the day and the way he used to say 'curly wurly' used to crack us up. We used to get him to say it if we were having a bad day

CurLAAAAY-Wurrrr-LAAAAAAY.

Nastee - say it, record it and post it. YES!

[Guy Incognito]

Do they pluralise them correctly?

Do you? I am not saying you might not be right but curly-wurlys just doesnt look right.

I dont think the "s" should be used at all.

[Caribou]

Yeah, you can get 'em over here, though you have to look for them.
Usually they sell 'em at places that also sell cadbury's... yumz.

[TAL]

I don't even know what it is, and I'm not gonna look it up (y)

[Guy Incognito]

i'm glad they arent called somethin else in other countries. What else would they be called though?

I hated when they changed names of sweets to what they were called elsewhere. Its only a name but all the new names, like Starburst and Snickers are shit names.

[Freebasser]

Do you? I am not saying you might not be right but curly-wurlys just doesnt look right.

Nono - I have no idea what the correct pluralisation is. I need to know, though!

[Caribou]

I thought the plural was Curly Wurlies.

But I'm foreign, so I'm probably wrong.

[funk63]

uh what?

FUCK YOU

[Lex Diamonds]

Opal Fruits and a Marathon. Everyone knows that, duh.

[russhie]

Yeah, they're everywhere over here. Next to a Chomp it's my favorite chocolate thingamie under $1.

What I want to know is where the hell I can get a Rolo and some Jolly Ranchers in this damn country.

[mikizee]

Whatever happened to moncheros?

[russhie]

^ A what now? Does not sound delicious.

[mikizee]

they were fried snacks.

'Munch on moncherooooossss!!!' was the jingle.

[russhie]

er, no. Do not remember.

Do you remember Chickadees though?? Those ugly little shaped chip things that were supposed to be chicken flavoured??

[TurdBerglar]

you non americans have some shitty names for your snacks... besides curly-wurlys. those just sound delicious.

[mikizee]

er, no. Do not remember.

Do you remember Chickadees though?? Those ugly little shaped chip things that were supposed to be chicken flavoured??

Yeah they were good... there were in my school lunchbox every day.

[Lyman Zerga]

I don't even know what it is, and I'm not gonna look it up (y)

haha yeah

i totally, absolutely, fully agree with that

[mikizee]

heres a pic (http://www.baristanet.com/CurlyWurly.jpg)

[Lyman Zerga]

fuck off, satan!

[na§tee]

What I want to know is where the hell I can get a Rolo and some Jolly Ranchers in this damn country.
i'm going to be in melbourne on 13 september. i'll stuff my bags full of rolos and jolly ranchers for a small fee of $567 + VAT + 6 months' supply of cherry ripes. deal? DEAL!

the curly wurly is a bit scarce on the ground nowadays. before you could walk into any old newsagents and it'll be there, now i can only really find them in woolworths.. they have all the weird random sweets there. and space raiders!

CurLAAAAY-Wurrrr-LAAAAAAY.

Nastee - say it, record it and post it. YES!
haha, i might just do this. i sound more english than scottish though - i have a scottish islander lilt meets standard english voice. i think you need someone with a broader scottish accent to make it sound really LOL. i'll see if my flatmate can do a mock one for you!

[mikizee]

So you headin to adelaide or whut nastee?

[Guy Incognito]

Nono - I have no idea what the correct pluralisation is. I need to know, though!



I think that should be right but i doubt it. lets see which one looks best:


I was attacked by two curly-wurlys after a night out with a packet of skittles.

I was beaten up by a gang of curly-wurly after going to an all nighter with a finger of fudge.

I was savaged by two curly-wurliafter rocking all night at Fabric with a bag of maltesers.

I was grabbed by the short and curlies by two curly-wurlies whilst i was at fabric watching a DJ set by the Honey Monster.

Question. Are Highland toffee bars actual from the highlands?

[Guy Incognito]

Question. Are Highland toffee bars actual from the highlands?


YES - all sweets which are named after places come from there.

Highland Toffee Bars
Mars Bars
Milky Way
Galaxy
Lion bars are made from lions

btw: i found one of those mini scotch bottles you sent with the other day while cleaning. maybe i will drink it tonight

[Funky Pepp]

I love Curly Wurlys. But you don't get them in every shop here. So, if you don't get them, you have to eat the top-side of a twix and throw the bisquit-side away. They should be sold more often...

Oh, great, now I'm hungry again. :(

[Guy Incognito]

i would just like to recommend peanut butter chunky kitkats. They are da bomb as "the kids" might say. They are like Marathons (snickers) without the chewy nougat bit.

A better simile would be that they are like a kit kat with peanut butter in it. :D

I shared a packet of 5 curly wirlae around the office today. I'm just that kinda guy ;)

Oh and don't even get me started on Peanut Butter Kit Kats, Guy I. They are my crack.

[Guy Incognito]

Oh and why has george michael got chocolate around his mouth?

So in some places they're really called Marathon, um, bars or something?

weird.

Wagon Wheels are awesome, haven't had one in years!

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Obviously you are not as old as Guy and I. Snickers used to be called Marathons in the 80's. Before we had to go and get all americanised.

[gbsuey]

get yerself to a supermarket-wagon wheels-a-plenty!!usually 100% extra free too-i think you may find they're not as good as you may remember them (unless they always tasted like no real food products were at all involved in their manufacture!)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm peanut butter kit kats:p

oh and i'm sure i heard opal fruits are getting their "proper" name back- woop

[na§tee]

they're in super markets? goodness me, i'm missing out.

while i'm there i should pick up some walnut whips, too.

i'm seriously fucked off i can't get a secret bar - now they have re-entered my snacking consciousness i can't get them out!

[roosta]

Desperate Dan bars....strange, tar-like orange things, with toxic looking blocks of black sugar in them. Even as a kid I knew they couldn't be right.

[camo]

Star bars. Just want to add these. Yummity yum.

[na§tee]

Star bars. Just want to add these. Yummity yum.
hmmm... a 'star bar' means something else altogether in the fetish realm - i hope no-one else is privy to this information like i am : ( NOTE: i have certainly not engaged in said activity, just heard about it!

i have it on good word that steve coogan is into said practice. and lisa stansfield. er, not together. true story. ahahahahaha.

[gbsuey]

Star bars. Just want to add these. Yummity yum.

/\ they really ARE the shit-but instant toothache in a wrapper!

if i ever have false teeth i'm gonna eat them all day-i guess that's why nanas(other old people are available) have sweets around everywhere coz they got no teeth to rot away.

[na§tee]

i'd also like to ask if anyone else can remember the coconut boost? goddamn. they were so tasty. boosts are gorgeous anyway, but these had the addition of yummy scrummy coconut. BRING BACK COCONUT BOOSTS!

i told you there should have been a retro snack foods thread.

were they a bit like a wispa?

marks and spencer do their own walnut whips

did anyone else ever have crisps that were shaped like little pigs-hollow pigs that tasted like bacon 'cause i seem to be totally alone in remembering these-it was kind of way back in the mists of time(primary school)

[Pres Zount]

I hear Wispa was so popular there was a movement a few years ago to get every Scottish child to name their cat Wispa.

^^ Yep they were called Piglets.

I used to like "Texan" bars - they were chewy orange coloured nougat covered in chocolate and came in yellow wrappers with "american wild west" style writing. YeeHaa!!

Anyone remember "sweet tobacco" ? Can't remember when this went away but it wouldnt see the light of day now. It was a tobacco pouch filled with thin coconut strips with chocolate powder or something. You chewed it like chewing tobacco and could even spit brown lumps like those crazy cowboys.

Barratts SHRIMPS!! YEah! The fairest of all pink confectionary - and all for the princely sum of 1 full english penny.

Jawbreakers!! The absolute muthaufcka of all color changing sugery magic

Do you get Jeremy Clarkson outside the UK?

[mikizee]

Yes. Top Gear is the only show I watch on TV every week.

He's annoying but still funny. Rich prick.

He's from Doncaster where I live. He is a prick - but a decent prick. Top Gear is the best thing on TV now.

And I ride motorbikes anyway - so he'd probably run me over and call me a Belgian or something.....
