The Star Bar was launched in 1976. It was accompanied by a space-themed TV advert by Richard Williams Animation Studio, London with the tagline "...next time you're having an energy crisis". The bar was later promoted as "the munchiest bar ever". It was also promoted in the UK in the mid-1980s with a postal offer (3 wrappers plus P+P could be turned in for a Starbar Ruler, Pencil and a copy of
Douglas Adams'
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe). In 1989, it briefly became a
peanut version of the
Boost, only to return to Starbar (now written as one word) in 1994. In Canada and Germany, Wunderbar is a Cadbury Adams product marketed under the license of Cadbury UK Limited. It is also available in a package of "minis" and in a 12 g size for
Halloween. Since January 2012, Starbars have been available in the
Nordic countries, manufactured by
Marabou Sweden (owned by
Mondelēz International which also owns
Cadbury). Starbar was introduced to Australia in November 2012 (made in Ireland); however, it is no longer available and no longer listed on the Cadbury Australia website. == References ==
