Ah the simple joy from four little words..."you still get those"

There some folks after my.own heart in here, Apple jacks, Spiras, Irnbru & Desperate Dan bars. Mmmmmmm, forget breakfast. Weetabix isn't getting a look in this morning.

Spiras were great for drinking hot chocolate through.

Fuse bars, Vice Versa, Baked Bean flavoured Piglet crisps.

& Tomato flavoured Puffs all went by the wayside too.

A moment to commemorate our fallen snacks & appreciate the come back of the Wispa, it's a rare occurrence when one is risen from the grave again.
