"Remember when....."

I was in the newsagents today and was looking for a bar, any bar, but couldn't find one I liked. Thats when i realised how many have disappeared over the last 20 years. All my favourites are gone- Woppa, the Desperate Dan, Tangy, and even my beloved Frosties sweets. I guess I'll never see a Crunch bar here again either.

Crisps have changed so much too. Does anyone remember the little bags of crisps, Hot Lips, Red Devils etc you could get for 5p? I binged on them!

Name changes are another thinng that bugs me. What was wrong with a Marathon Bar or Opal Fruits? I like those names just fine.

My food rant over.

Opal fruits, i still call them that, the pain of change is too much.

*gets emotional*

Thankfully.

I see crunch bars all the time, I ate one just last week.

I never really liked Curly Wurly's. Too chewy.

The marathon Bar is now called Snickers.

Says that a Marathon Bar is the closed thing to a Curly Wurly

I'm pretty sure they do still make them.

Green was my favourite. Mmmmm.

I haven't seena Crunch bar in a shop in years. You might want to check the sell-by date of the ones in ASDA! Maybe it's only here they've stopped selling them then.
