Have Cadburys Creme Eggs gotten smaller

Remember, the two bounty pieces used to be on a bit of cardboard that you could slide them along, preventing choccy meltage by your warm paws on the plastic!!
 
I was dismayed to find yesterday that a Yorkie bar now only has 5 chunks.....it used to have 7!!

What is the world coming to - shrinking Creme Eggs and disappearing yorkie chunks:eek:
 
Creme eggs have shrunk allright..........and the milky way stuff in the middle tastes different too.

So, how do you eat yours.

Laughing at the cardboard bit in the bounty.

Here's a blast from the past - anyone remember 2&2 bars. My Dad worked in Urney's and we had boxes of these - yum and the famous CATCH, rovals(an Irish version of Rolos) and Beanos. No wonder all the kids wanted to play with us. Our house was like Wonkaland.

I never pictured you as a blue dwarf but there you go, serves me right for not being open minded.

The original with Gene Wilder was classic. Not that awful remake with Depp. Anyways I better go so little to do and so much time . . oops stop...reverse that. :D
 
I got one yesterday...purely for research purposes...ya its smaller but also there was just a speck of yellow in it!!! I know it all tastes the same but it was still very disappointing.

Have to say I prefer mini eggs-oh and I love love those squidgy things that come out at easter...you know they are marshmallow with a really thin coating of cheap chocolate but taste delicous!

You just haven't been paying enough attention - the yellow bit DEFINITELY tastes different - not quite as sweet as the white bit.
But I'm embarrassed to say I know that :eek:

They're called Easter Eggs :p , and Mrs Firefly adores them! Thanks for reminding me about them too - nice way to top up my brownie points balance ;)
 
what about Appla? does anyone remember it? It was a fizzy apple drink in a can and i reckon it was full of everything that's bad for you but it tasted amazing..

i thini the can was white with a big green apple on it.

cadbury's icebreaker chocolate? old jamaica chocolate? yummy
 
Anyone remember JR ice pops? They were delish. Very like a Long Island coctail actually.

:) You sound easily pleased! Never heard of them.

I used to love Mint chocs (as distinct to Choc ices) and never see them either. Still see wibbly wobbly wonders though - I think.

Are Pear pickin' Porkies still around? They were lovely and sour.

(And does anyone else know any more ice pops with stupid names? :rolleyes:)

I remember Urney's chocolate - it was ever so slightly cheaper than Cadbury bars which was very important to a person on limited pocket money!!

Remember the 2 + 2 bars very well.....yum!
