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]

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]

Hi guys, I'm sitting in my office in Gröbenzell near Munich and had just one "Curly Wurly" from Cadbury, bought some days ago in a supermarket named "Tengelmann" just around the corner. There came 3 in a pack for EUR 1.19. So the stuff is sold in Germany using meanwhile the original name and brand (afaik at least half a year now). BTW: It's just great :-). I'll remove the citation needed flag. Cheers, Ralf 87.139.155.221 (talk)---

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]


They were never any bigger, its just that we all remember them from when we were 8 or 9 years old - we were smaller then, and our hands certainly were, so the bars seemed bigger.

Its not a great name really is it...."Curly Wurly"? The thing isn't actually curly at all, its just a sort of lattice shape. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.139.209.188 (talk) 12:28, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Confectioners names

The names of the two (not one) confectioners were David John Parfitt and Raymond Ivan Drelling. FrantShiftSoap (talk) 19:02, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
