Splicer Bars came out in the mid 1980s and were fruit-flavoured and multi-coloured twisted candy bars which were really chewy. The advert featured a policeman and various other people biting into a splicer bar and it turned them all multi-coloured! Ace! They tasted soft but chewy...

OMG. They were like Opel Fruits rolled into a sausage shape of the same flavour, then the four sausages were twisted together and ... heh presto ... I give you, the Splicer Bar!!!
The jingle went:
"Splicer, is nicer
it's sweet everytime.
Strawberry and Orange, with Lemon and Lime.
Bite it, you'll like it
And soon you will see.
Splicer, is nicer.
From Nestle Rowntree."
I still remember the jingle!
HOW SAD AM I !!! LOL.
I thought I was the only person left alive who remembered them! Ha to everyone who thought I was mad!!!
Bring back the Splicers!

I remember them well - but by another name 'striper'. As I remember from the ad they were also at a wedding and they all turned coloured as they bit in the bars. Do you know why they had two names?
