What's happened to my Topic bar?

[missdiane]

Did anyone notice the size of creme eggs this year? more like a mini egg, I reckon they have reduced in size by 30% plus
They can get away with it as they only sell them from Jan to April or something similar, so noone has a comparison... cheek!

Well Twirls have gone up by 40% in our vending machine, so I'm boycotting them - what's that about?

They are just expensive to buy anyway, how much are they? Ours are 50p (only 13% profit)

And where's my Texan bar gone?

Where's my coconut boost?

Are you 100% sure its a Topic? Sounds like someone swapped yours for a turd.

I think its called the Credit Crunch - formally known as a recession.....

Surely that would be a Credit Crunchie?

Slightly off Topic, but..

I have a similar chocolate bar from 1985. Do you know if it's safe to eat?

More importantly, is it bigger than a new one?

How have I not seen your username before now? Brilliant.

I'm struggling here. Are you setting up the 'Slightly Off" gag, or do you want genuine advice on Vintage Confectionery?

I was just about to move this to website feedback

Good job I read it, eh?!

surely it should be moved into the Tasty Food section

[FrankDrebbin]

Note to whoever moved this brilliant thread from it's rightful place in the pie and piston and into some foodie area - I HATE YOU.

Best regards

Agreed. A chocolate bar question is rather more mainstream than 'Is a 1983 Burgundy all right to drink with lobster fritters?'

No way. I am a professor of Double Deckery and I can assure you that they have got smaller in the last few years.
There is nothing more satisfying that an ice cold can of Dr Pepper and a Double Decker of an afternoon.

Haven't seen a Boost in ages, let alone the one in the green wrapper that they did. I think there was a more buscuity version as well...?

Are the re-release Wispas still available...? Must stock up when I got to the UK.

I say bring back Spira. Loved those and only 20p back in the day...

55p, but they were 40p last week

I boycott vending machines period just because I begrudge paying their markup to pay for the machines/service.

You can only get a Freddo Frog for 20p these days, and even he's gradually reverting back to a tadpole.

I think they would have to sell them at 55 if they have a higher profilt margin, kick the idiot who didn't check how much they cost for so long, 40p was a bargain!
Don't blame you for boycotting!
