Wham Bar
Wham Bar is a popular British confectionery item that was first introduced in the 1980s by McCowan's, a Scottish confectionery manufacturer. The bar is known for its distinctive raspberry flavour and fizzy, chewy texture, which is achieved through the inclusion of sherbet crystals.
History[edit | edit source]
The Wham Bar was first produced in 1983 by McCowan's, a company based in Stenhousemuir, Scotland. The bar quickly gained popularity due to its unique combination of a chewy texture and a fizzy, tangy flavour. Despite changes in ownership and production methods over the years, the Wham Bar has remained a staple of British confectionery.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Wham Bar is a thin, flat, rectangular bar that is typically bright pink in colour. It is made from a chewy toffee base that is flavoured with raspberry and embedded with sherbet crystals. These crystals give the bar its characteristic fizziness when chewed. Some versions of the bar also include embedded candy pieces for additional texture and flavour.
Variations[edit | edit source]
Over the years, several variations of the Wham Bar have been introduced. These include different flavours such as cola and strawberry, as well as versions with additional features like a sour coating or extra fizzy crystals. There have also been limited edition versions of the bar released for special occasions or promotions.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The Wham Bar has had a significant impact on British confectionery culture. Its unique combination of chewiness and fizziness has made it a favourite among children and adults alike, and it has inspired a number of similar products from other confectionery manufacturers. The bar's distinctive packaging, featuring bright colours and bold lettering, has also become iconic.
