"Two unrelated questions about food"

I just ate Supa Noodles for the first time in years.

Now answer me this:

Does anyone else pick at them when they're hard in the pack?

I do. I think they taste yummy dry.

And secondly:

Did Double Decker's used to have raisins in?

I was eating one today, and I seem to remember this from when I was younger. Anyone know for sure?

Intresting fact:

Opal fruits were forced to change their name by the courts because they do not actually contain any fruit.

Heard that somewhere. Pretty sure it was true too.

Super Noodles really suck, they are cheap, but the flavouring is not very strong.

When Double Deckers were first produced they were made as a way of using up all the waste stuff that came of the production lines.

The quality control department would pick up all the bars that had been damaged during production - alot of damages used to happen - and they would all be mashed up and made into the base of the bar - a bit of whipped up nougat on top and cover in chocolate and you have a cost effective way of getting rid of the stuff that used to be bagged of an sold for 10p a pound or whatever they used to charge. So yes - you may well have found raisins from time to time.

Spangles - yay - what about the old english ones - urrrr. And the soft centered ones ?

Opal fruits - whatever happened to the mint flavoured ones then - later called Pacers ??

Snickers ? ex Marathon - another one changed to match the US branding.

And Yes,well no..but yes. I like the to lick the powder off of my fingers...do it with oxo too.

Does anyone else like the taste of raw oxo?

"I know that Rowntrees fruit gums tasted much better and stuck to the roof of your mouth more."

I bet you didn't know Rowntrees not only makes sweets, but is also a big charity organisation, set up by the founder (someone or other Rowntree) years ago, to help kids. Sort of like Banardos

I used to eat raw pasta, it's really nice

I only stopped because I don't think it's too good for you... I used to eat LOADS of the stuff

So really we changed the name of one of our sweets so it is the same as the Americans. They won't be happy - they like being different.

:-D

Starburst was the name that Opal Fruits have always been known as in the States, it wasn't a rename to a new name.

I have no raisin to believe double deckers had raisins in. (ho ho).

But I know that Spangles tasted great the first time around, but not when they were re-released.

I know that Rowntrees fruit gums tasted much better and stuck to the roof of your mouth more.

I also remember when Nestles was pronounced Nestels and was a British company.

I hate raisens.

I once ate a cake that I didnt know had raisens in it...

Spat the *£@% out as soon as I bit into a raisen...

I think it's a no to the raisins, anyone remember those Secret bars? They were coooool, ahem.

The name Starbursts ain't so bad, I like it anyway.

Then again I would right? ;)
