My boyfriend is obsessed with gollywogs and choo choo bars.. something to do with his childhood..
anyway I bought him a gollywog for christmass because his dog got hold of his other one but I was wondering where can you buy choo choo bars in perth now?
they were in a blue wrapper and had golly wogs on the front? |

I'd be getting him to see a therapist.
Has he ever been sexually molested ? :-) |

There is a good alternative to the long gone Choo Choo bars.
It is Melbas Inch Licorice. It is a flat hard licorice bar as well.
We actually sell them to all over the world. |

yes-but they detriorated.
The original ones were strong with a sticky covering and nearly broke your teeth when you tried to bite into them-then they became a soft and shrunken in size-nothing like the original ones. |

small is right-I bought one yesterday-it sure has shrunk!
but I did think they had reverted to the older formula again-I had one of the sticky ones quite a while ago tho!Know what you mean there!
Oh and twisties-used to have yummy clumps of cheesy stuff on some of them or bits in the bottom of the bag-they nahve managed to overcome that!
And Shapes-'flavour you can see'-you actually used to be able to taste it too and there was always heaps of nice flakes of flavour left in the bottom of the packet-now; nothing escapes |

bec-have you tried looking on ebay-or maybe the Quokka-or searching the net-you may find them hard to come by-they are not considered PC anymore!!
Or you may find some if you go to fetes run by older folks-who still knit them- but you may find them hard to find on the open market.
Do you have any villages for older folk nearby-you may like to enquire if there is anyone who still knits them; my elderly aunt used to-they were easy to do and very popular in days gone by
As to the inch licorice bars-not quite as good as ChooChoobars-but rather moreish; if you cant get the real thing.
Our IGA stocks them ;so they should be in other IGA's too-at the till counters(or are they cash registers these days?!) |
