.. Opal Fruits. Down with Starburst!

And Marathons.

And why oh why did they stop making Spangles and Quatro (a mixed fruit flavoured fizzy drink for the young 'uns)??

I'm starting a campaign to bring things back as they were in the good old days before they meddled with everything and made everything crap.

Cif!? Everyone knows it's really Jif! Come on!

What else do we add to our campaign!

Full size chocolate snacks, like Mars bars etc. And if I buy a 4 pack, make it a pack of full size bars, not teeny ones, shrunken even more than the standard sizes have been shrunk. And I'd prefer not to buy packs of gas, inflated so you perceive there's more product inside.

Soon fun size will be equivalent to standard size - enough is enough!

I literally still salivate at the thought of Cabana bars, plus Fry's Five Centres. I also miss the gooseberry creams and peanut cracknells you used to get in Quality Street. In fact, so far as chocolate us concerned, quite apart from the fact we all know they've shrunk sizes, what the hell has happened to Cadbury Dairy Milk ? It's been vile since Cadbury was taken over .... a nasty gloopy oily sludge in your mouth that's vaguely sweet but doesn't even taste of cocoa. And of course it's used in all Cadbury bars so has made old favourites like Crunchies etc taste foul too.

Nothing like a good chocolate rant!

Also miss Cydrax, I used to love that stuff .... which apparently is only now produced in Trinidad where it's considered a celebratory drink. There's a similar Irish drink called Cidona but it's not quite the same.
