Posted May 12, 2012 by Pink Paisley This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 44 It seems that Spangles died in the early 80's (the body twitched in 95 briefly though). You had to eat them fairly quickly otherwise they became sticky and unwrapping them was a horrible tacky nightmare. PP Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Mars bar or Snickers?

Usually you get taste-a-likes of something once it is discontinued, but not cabana. Closest is a Bounty, but then again, not really. There was something gooey in the centre I seem to remember?

I've got a bit of an obsession with the Mars milkshakes too. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Mars bar or Snickers?
