Posted 14th Jul 2020
when i was a wee lad, about 35 years ago in the mid 80s i used to be addicted to Woppas.
they were cola flavoured chews, sold individually for 2p each.
they were in a red wrapper about the size of a fruit salad chew but thicker.
i cannot find any reference to these anywhere.
i have found a photo of a Woppa spearmint chew bar but thats it.
my Daughter thinks im experiencing the Mandela effect and they never existed
please help

    No, i think i know what you are thinking of
    A few years back i found a small photo of a Woppa that im thinking of but ive no longer got it.
    I would honestly happily pay £100 for a tub as they were just so tasty

    I remember them too but only because of the image that was posted. I probably enjoyed them too but really can't remember them that well
