    I know this has been a big topic of conversation for people ( i believe such as pesky etc.) and now... maybe even because it was so heavily discussed it is back!

    I walked into woolworths today, and was just gonna buy a quick drink when low and behold i saw, in bright yellow, STARBAR, YES THEY'RE BACK!!!!!

    Had one, tasted great, reminds me of a wunderbar... which i had in greece. i think they may well be one and the same thing.... hmmmm.

    STARBAR IS BACK

    edit: according to wikipedia it IS the same as a wunderbar: The range is most commonly seen in small independent stores, and is most popular in Ireland. This product is also sold in Canada under the name Cadbury's Wunderbar.

    I didn't know they were gone?

    They've been across at my local spar since it opened, I think!

    yeah, they have been mostly in like independent stockings.

    but now they are actually back and i think will be promoted.

    I saw some in the newsagent in Shap. I didn't buy one as I was busy being bitterly disappointed at the time - having had to cut my holiday short, on day 5 of 14, due to a calf strain and blisters. That'll learn me not to try to do the coast to coast trail. [Rolling Eyes]

    this is all very odd.

    The sign said "yes, it's back" And all i have heard about it is that people cant find it anywhere!!!

    grrr. Where's pesky when i need her to back me up.

    Starbars are not Starbars in Ireland. When I went there in August they had been renamed as Moro. Top of the Moro to you?

    I asked my local shop to get em in and they did - no problemo!
  18. JJ Tue Sep 19, 2006 10:01 pm #18

    I beg to differ - but they are also called Starbars in Ireland! I know cause I live there - but it's very strange when you see a Starbar and a Moro side by side on the shelf! [Laughing]

    Meh? It Moro - formerly Starbar, on the wrapper.

    I live in Northern Ireland close to the border - therefore we can purchase Starbar got from British sweet companies and also Moro from Irish makers. [Very Happy]
    The best of both worlds!
