Also known as Wig Wag? In Canada, Wig Wag was chocolate-covered caramel that was braided, more than
6" but less than 1', and thin. The wrapper was white with orange (and maybe pink?) printing, I
think. I remember them from the '70s, but I think they were discontinued sometime in the late '70s.
They are still being sold in the UK as Curly Wurly. Here's some info here
http://www.cadbury.co.uk/CTB/OurProducts/Curlywurly.htm (very little info, actually). Curly Wurly is
not as wide as Wig Wag was, but it tastes the same (or at least very similar to what I remember)
You can buy them on-line, such as at

I am lucky in that in my city, there is a specialty candy shop that sells them. They're a little
expensive (about $1.40 Cdn?) but I buy one as a treat once in a great while. If I weren't poor right
now, I'd send you a couple. But I am, so sorry!
