What were these sweets?

Trying to remember a favourite sweet from the 1990s/2000s. They were a wrapped chewy sweet in a rectangular shape (not opal fruits or chew it's) and I remember them being orange by there might have been different flavours. The main thing was that they had little bits of fizzy hard bits in them. Argh I really can't remember their name at all and it's driving me bonkers. I am sure they don't make them any more.

Refreshers?

sleepyhoglet · 15/08/2021 21:48

Nope. And not frutella either. It wasn't really sherbet but hard little bits within the chew. I think the hard bits were pink.

Refreshers? (Like the chewy bars but miniature, not the roll of circular chalky things)?

Wham? Not sure if they did those as individual small sweets though, rather than a bar.

sleepyhoglet · 15/08/2021 21:48

Not as chewy as refreshers. Texture similar to a starburst.

Almost like a rectangular wham bar?

onthinice · 15/08/2021 21:48

Fruit salad?

DickDastardly · 15/08/2021 21:49

Spangles?

NickyOy · 15/08/2021 21:49

Sounds a bit like a wham bar, they always had hard sherbert bits in them. Think they did them as sweets as well as a bar

HumdrumGuga · 15/08/2021 21:49

Oh yes. But no idea. Totally remember it though!

Catouttahell · 15/08/2021 21:49

Sounds like a Wham bar? Did they make an individual sweet version?

DickDastardly · 15/08/2021 21:50

Clearly not spangles, sorry

I'll go for wham

Palavah · 15/08/2021 21:50

Moam?

Catouttahell · 15/08/2021 21:50

Ah NickyOy was ahead of me!

Luckystar1 · 15/08/2021 21:50

Fizzy chewits?

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 15/08/2021 21:50

Maoam? I hated the little hard bits in them

Catouttahell · 15/08/2021 21:50

And everyone else!

sleepyhoglet · 15/08/2021 21:51

Not fruit salad either although I fancy some of those!

Not moam- they are more chewy as are wham bars. They can be chewed but not crazy chewy!! They must have been short lived. You could but down without getting a long stretchy bit.

Just Googled 90s sweets and I totally forgot about Toffos! Used to love those

NigellaSeed · 15/08/2021 21:53

Iron bru? Vimto?

texasss · 15/08/2021 21:53

Fizzy chewits in black and neon packaging?

Luckystar1 · 15/08/2021 21:54

Snap and crackle?

Fangdango · 15/08/2021 21:54

Wham did little individual sweets. Did they have a space themed wrapper OP?

EverythingsComingUpRoses · 15/08/2021 21:55

I know exactly what you mean -the packets seemed to be really long!

Going to drive me crazy now
