I don't know. It used to be the finest chocolate, my favourite, but since the Yanks took over the business and changed the recipe I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. The last bar I bought I took one bite and binned the rest.
Was it very similar to a flake but incased in chocolate?

Lots of things change names.
I don't remember Spira or Spiral, but US food manufacturers have often changed our British things to American. E.g. Marathon to Snickers; Opal Fruits to ... erm, whatever they're called now.

Cadbury is now owned by a US business, as JD said, so perhaps they're erasing all links to its past. By your description I'm thinking of Ripple, as ummmm suggested.
I remember Spira but I don't remember it being called Spiral
Cool, are you sure it was originally called Spiral? I only ever remember it as Spira. No mention on Wiki as it ever having changed names .. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spira_(confectionery)
Mars made Ripple, Cadbury made Spira
A shorter name is a good idea; just think of the ink saved when writing it on the wrapper.
I remember Spiro Agnew, if it helps.


Here's an advert from way back when. At the end you can see the wrapper clearly states Spira.
I remember it as Spiral also but no one else does. It was defo spiral wasn’t it?? Maybe it’s like that film when only that 2/3 people remembered The Beatles.
