I'm convinced they have, despite lots of people telling me they haven't.

It's good to know someone else shares my creme egg paranoia.

I bought one in Preston the other day. Just as good as I remembered

You can still get Seabrook crisps..........and on the upside Monster Munch are now as big as ever

I know that

I am on about the flavor not their availability

You never see Ringo's crisps anymore, can you still get them? Cheese n Onion were top draw. KP crisps were good too. Golden Wonder - did they go bust?

Creme Eggs have definitely shrunk.

As have Mars Bars and Snickers. Both those have shrunk by 5 or so grammes per bar in the last few years.

Can't find Blue Nobby's Nuts any more. Best nuts ever.

Seriously impressive website that Danny

Try harder, we sell them at my Sainsburys and it's only a convenience store, they'll have them at main store I bet.

Monster Munch used to be massive, only got about 6 in a bag and that was full. Now you get 6 tiny wee things that only fill half a bag. Joke.

Good thread this, might come on this board a bit more often in the close season!

Anyone else think Monopoly has shrunk too?

they have definately shrunk,i use to eat the inside of one with a teaspoon,you can`t even fit a spoon in them now.

they sell them at Lowton

I`m sure you can get them at a shop in Southport,it`s an old toffee shop in the arcade off Lord Street,they sell lots of the sweets you remember as a kid.

Had a Milkybar tonight for the first time in years. They've gone smaller too

Lemon Puffs, not only have they shrunk, but they're round now, not rectangle.

(Before anyone says it, you are not what you eat)!!!

One for the fossils. Does anyone remember Spanish Gold (I think that's the name)? A gloriously delicious, non PC confection presented as chewing tobacco. Come to think of it, where have the toffee cigarettes gone? Far safer than the real thing IMO.



EDIT:
It's back!!

What the chuffing heck is a LEMON PUFF!!! ha ha

I think he means the biscuits. They used to be rectangular, double decked and shiny, with some kind of glaze on them, with a lemon 'custard cream' type lemon flavoured filling.

Next...........the bourbon cream.

Spangles

Gypsy Creams (biscuits by the way, before anyone gets any ideas!) Texan Bars (sure were a mighty chew!)

Wham bars used to be massive.

You mean [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdbt-sx5MDcTHIS[/url kind of Wham Bar?

I nearly broke my neck chewing on one of those buggers when I was at school. Heard a crack in my neck and could only look left for about 4 days!!

Another great one was Texan Bars (with the cowboy advert - A mans gotta chew what a mans gotta chew)!!!

Whenever I read a thread on old chocolate bars/ sweets, I always remember Nestle Secret bars and get upset. They were awesome. I have no idea why they stopped making them.

and I saw a wagon wheel for the first time in ages the other day and spent the next hour arguing with my mate about whether it's because I'm "grown up" now that they look so small, or just that they are actually made smaller. (yes I do lead a very exciting life hahaha)
