Did Dip daps used to be called dib dabs?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

I'm doubting myself here!

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

DD3 (17) has explained the logic of the DIP yesdear and yes, obvious sense blah di blah.

Can anyone from the seventies recall, please. Google is fuseless.

Dip dabs is the Barrett’s name, Swizzlers called them Dib dabs which is how I remember them

Always Dip Dabs I think, but DH says they were Dib Dabs!

It's always been dib dab to me too

I’ve certainly always called them dib dabs

Yes, maybe dib dabs. Sherbet fountains were best though.

Definitely Dib Dabs in the 70s/80s.

Always Dip Dabs in our house!

You are being unreasonable mentioning them as now I want one. And yes, sherbet fountains were superior (if you measure by how well the sherbet 'bit' your throat and then 'fizzled' but the lollipop in a dibdab was nicer than the liquorice in a fountain.

I have studied this intensively and will stand by my research.

Me too @balonzz

Dib Dab is what I remember. I'm old.

Dib dabs to me

Always Dip dabs, it just got misread as dib dabs and then people think they used to be called that.
I often see people call marshmallows, marshmellows, not a brand name as such, but same thing.

Both exist, different companies make them - Dib Dabs made by Swizzels Matlow, Dip Dabs made by Bassets. I remember Dib Dabs, child of the 70s!

I thought they were dib dabs as well. Dip dabs just sounds wrong.

@FeltCarrot

The Swizzels version was called a Double Dip.

Mandela affect yes! I still think it was NETFLEX not Netflix,.but flix makes more sense ...

They were Dip-dabs.

I expect because you dip the lolly in then dab some sherbet onto it.

I remember dib dabs and just had to check dd sweet tub to see they’re actually dip dabs!

Definitely dib-dabs and I grew up in the 90s.

Dib dabs
I was old enough to notice in 70s.

I thought they were Dib dabs.

The amount of people that think should've is should of, makes me think this is just a misheard thing from the way it comes off the tongue.

Like hard hat area sounds like hard hat hairier

They're still dip dabs... Had one yesterday

This is like the Blue Riband thread all over again...
