Default Star Bars.

My good lady has just rung me to inform me that she's finally found some Star Bars in Newcastle so she's going to grab a handfull when she comes back this evening.

However, Newcastle is a plane ride away and it would be a bit time consuming to fly up there just for some Star Bars. We've been looking for them for nearly a week now and haven't found them in the South East or even down in Bristol so my question is - are they only available regionally (i.e. the North) or can they be found nearer to home?

I've found one shop in Derbyshire that sells them, but I'm afraid it's not much use to you.

I vaguely understood Star Bars were regional, bit like Vimto used to be.

Chocolate bars. Quite chewy. Yellowish and blue wrapper.

I go past Derby a fair bit so that may be one solution but it's further than I would like, however, this craving may well pass if it's anything like the Mars bars although the Crunchies are still a big favourite.

PM me your address.

We have StarBars in our shops, in the vending machine in work, and wholesale at CostCo.

They do a new one with whole peanuts, and a green wrapper one with (creatine) ?. Its not creatine but I cant recall, something similar anyway.

So I will post you one of each to keep you going......

Haha. Nope, I've actually had to get off my backside and see some customers so I've been out for a few hours. Thanks for the offer but my wife is bringing a bundle back with her tonight so I'll have a supply for a while but it seems as if they're mainly available in the North so if I run out, I may well take you up on your offer.

Missus likes them.

Can find them in the midlands but you have to look around.

I bet there is somewhere down there that flogs them you just have to check every newsagent you go in etc.
