Well I am so disappointed

not only have curly wurlies shrunk
but
now Love Hearts have gone all trendy!

no longer
"be my valentine"
but now
"text me"

and where has caramac gone!
and cough candy twist is now aniseed twist
why the name change?

I always thought love hurts.

Dont have an answer
Why change Marathon to snicker

I have in the last few days asked Nestle Co. why you can't buy a block of Nestle Milk Chocolate and their answer was, it is not sold anywhere in the UK now because there is no call for it but it is obtainable in other countries......after about 80 years!.

Hi Northern Lass

You can still get Caramac (yummy) but not not many shops sell it now.

HI Annie
well I cant see it in the shops I have been in

went to get some cough candy twist today and it was vile!
95 p for 100g
which is nearly a qtr apparently


I can't work these grammes and metres

I still work in lbs and qtrs , do you have a Morrison's supermarket near you that's where I got my last Caramac, I can't get ove the Love Heart messages they must be outdated for today childrens.

It is Opal Fruits that get me - my children reckon they are the only people of their age who would know I was talking about Starbursts!!

And what about Opal Mints - have they found a new name for them too that I haven't spotted yet?

Opal mints! yes I remember those!

I had a cornetto the other day and that had shrunk too!
Everything has got smaller!
