the 1960s, a Crunchie Peppermint was also available. An "Endless Crunchie" was released in 2013 for Christmas and contained 40 Crunchie bars. Availability The Crunchie bar is widely available in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Jordan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India. It is imported in other countries, including Cyprus, Hong Kong, Malta, Nigeria, Panama, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Tahiti and less widely so in the United States. Manufacture During manufacture, the honeycomb toffee is produced in large slabs, and is cut up using a highly focused jet of oil, though in Canada rotary saws are used. The use of a blade would lead to fragmentation, while water would dissolve the honeycomb toffee. Oil prevents both of these happening, and produces uniform sharp-edged portions. The honeycomb toffee is then covered with chocolate, cooled, and packaged. Nutrition information Advertising In Australia and New Zealand, Crunchie bars are widely known for having New Zealand's longest-running television advertisement, the "Crunchie Train Robbery" which won many awards and ran in unchanged form for over 20 years from the late 1970s. In both Ireland and the United Kingdom, the Crunchie has been advertised since the 1980s with the slogan "Get that Friday feeling". Prior to the 1980s Crunchie was advertised as "Crunchie makes exciting biting". In 1991, Cadbury launched a TV ad campaign that made use of The Pointer Sisters song, "I'm So Excited", which became one of the longest running advert campaigns in television history, continuing to be used up until 2008. Literary references The Crunchie bar is mentioned in Enid Bagnold's 1935 novel National Velvet, as the Brown sisters' sweet of choice for the year.
