We need to find a citation for the shrinking bars. I'd also like to sponsor a piece of investigative journalism into the shrinking cadbury's buttons.

Tougher

I don't ever remember the original Curly Wurly's being any bigger, but the first ones were certainly a different recipe, they had a much harder, tougher, chewy centre. Mighty Antar 01:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Text removed

Yes, I know that my source (David McWilliams) uses the word "fatwa" about the Irish ban, but that doesn't stop it being silly! Loganberry (Talk) 23:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

German Name

These bars were sold in Germany as "Drei Musketiere" in the Seventies and "Leckerschmecker" in the eighties.

They are mentioned in the 1984 song by The Fall, Slang King.88.25.9.177 (talk) 13:28, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And Little Early-Burly Came By In His Curly Wurly...

I typed "Curly Wurly" into the search box because I wanted to know what Bruce Springsteen (and later Manfred Mann) meant when he put that line into the song Blinded by the Light. It redirected me to an article about a candy bar with seemingly no relation to the song. I'd guess by the context of the original song, that "Curly Wurly" is a kind of car, but I don't know what kind. He certainly wasn't talking about a Cadbury Curly Wurly!

P. S. I'd never even heard about this candy bar before being redirected onto this page; probably because I'm an American. Stonemason89 (talk) 23:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed para

I've removed this paragraph as effectively trivia:

Curly Wurly appears to have a following amongst the rich and famous. Notable names who have publicly been seen eating or buying a Curly Wurly include legendary singer Sir Cliff Richard, TV Favourite Dale Winton, Harry Potter author JK Rowling, Kids entertainer Dom (of 'Dick & Dom' fame) and Liverpool soccer coach Rafael Benitez.

"Celeb X likes product Y" is not really notable unless it's something said celeb is specifically noted for, or unless they actually advertise the things. Loganberry (Talk) 01:43, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
