    Pick N Mix,
    I swear the chocolate sold in them are bigger than then what we buy now…

    I mean 1 bite of a whisper now days and it’s virtually gone.

    I mean come on a club biscuit it now bigger than a Mars bar,

    call them a Mars duo More like standard just the way they used to be.

    don’t even get me started on grab bag crisp…

    sorry needed to vent…

    I always loved the wooden flooring they had. It made the place like a corner shop, but much bigger.

    Top Team footballs. Finest plastic footballs you could buy. I spent my childhood with them.

    The government forced confectioners to reduce the amount of sugar and fat in single serve bars. Once they’ve tampered with the recipe, there’s only one other way to do it and that’s to reduce the size of the bar.

    Yes, they too have changed the size of the bars due to the rising costs of ingredients and retaining sufficient profit margins, but there are other factors too.

    Also, don’t be fooled by £1 multipacks of your favourite bars. These multipacks often contain smaller versions.
