I'm doubting myself here!

I'm positive in the olden days they were call DIB DABS.

It's exactly this. Because I can swear they were DIB-dabs Confused

Barratt's website says Dip-Dabs when referring to their launch in 1940 and they were Dip-Dabs when they still cost 12p so I think it's unlikely they've changed their name..
