marzman Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Fairly recent one but i loved Pretzel Flipz. And does anyone remember Ghostbuster bars? They had green goo at one end and red goo at the other. And Yorkie's used to have more blocks in them, and cream eggs were bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 being brought in too line wit europe has meant we have lost loads of names. i preferred opal fruits, and marathons. they also changed the ingredients on sherbet dips, the new sherbert is like pansy dust, the old stuff used to blow your brains out. oil of ulay, became olay (sounds like it should be accompanied by a spanish hand clap "olay") Jif became Cif (sounds like a yeast infection now.) polos and rolos have less in a packet, they're used to be more monster munch flavours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350 giZ Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Why are these goods taken from us?! Lucky Charms are always a treat when over in the States. As for Twinkies... I'm sure Mars bars used to break my arm to lift? But, it seems that everything shrinks through time, Big Mac's, Milky Way's, my penis...

What did you like? Miss anyhthing you cannot get now? I haven't long come back from Canada, first thing I bought when I was out there, Lucky Charms, and then I found Nerds! I have a pack left in my car I also bought a load of Reese's, Big Red and 16 cans of Mountain Dew. No wonder my case (minus the snowboard bag) weighed in at 25kg haha!
