Mandela effect? Pom Bears...

[Buttons294749]

Did Pom Bears used to be called Pom Bars in the 1990s????

I can picture the writing very clearly but unsure whether to trust my memory.

Thanks.

I thought they did too

Are both of you very posh?

Yes! Because they’re German and Bar is German for Bear

Haha definitely not!
I always thought it was because they were a German brand...

Was it that they were sold over here in the German packaging with their name for bear (I think they were Pombär) and then as they became more popular, translated the name on the packaging for English speaking countries?

Ah thank you @DentonsFringeArnottsWaistcoat
I feel very satisfied to have an answer as it's been bugging me for ages

I think you’re right.

Auntie Google/Alexa will know for sure.

And you never once thought to spend 30 seconds googling it, you could have had your answer quicker than typing your OP

That's bonkers 😂

Yup. First remember seeing these as a child in the pub, mid 90s Ireland

MN would be very quiet indeed if posters just googled stuff instead of starting threads on it

I used to work in a supermarket and the amount of times people would ask what type of flour they need for xyz or what type of pastry do they need. You have the world of information in your hand and your asking me 😂
