    My wife works in marketing for the sweet company that makes wham bars, fruit salads, blackjacks, flumps, sherbert fountains (and a load of other sweets). We've got a box full in the garage currently for "market research". There are a few less mini wham bars this evening :D

    Cadbury’s version of the mars bar wasn’t it?

    Bit sickly for me, as are Mars bars to be fair.
