Just thinking aloud

And why would anyone get rid of classics like Rowntrees Texan and Cabana Bars?

I know it's been mentioned before, but this as well.

Yep, they'll soon be just coating then with a thin nitro chocolate finish.

They've added barley to it and it now tastes like it's gone off.

Asda's own brand are the closest alternative to old Sp. K.

I only got my rose tinted glasses recently, so the way things were wasn't much fun, but the way things are is pretty sweet

VimFuego

I have to wear prescription rose tinted glasses, that way I can have 20/20 hindsight as well.

My flatmate has definite Nostalgia vision... keeps going on about how the past (when his Grandmother was young) the whole world was safe as candyland I suspect Murder was invented some time after his parents were born

It's like a totally different consistency.  It aggravates me when they say 'Improved Recipe' on the packet - I'll be the judge of that thanks.

Yum, Cabana and Aztec bars, I wonder why they discontinued those?

Not popular?

Found to contain dangerous ingredients?

or

Too expensive?

I wonder?

Aztec was pretty much Cadbury's  "clone"  of the Mars bar...............  they did another one that had raisins in, and the lower 1/2 was covered in dark choc.........top in milk................ it was scrummy,  I "think" it was called Amazon Bar..............not sure

EDIT

They weren't dangerous, if I remember correctly they had no Ricin!
