Did Wagon Wheels really used to be so much bigger than today? Or has my gob just enlarged?

[caroline]

Rainbow Drops, Five Boys chocolate bar, Rosebuds, Spangles and Fruit Gums are some of my favourites. Anyone remember the advert for Rowntrees Fruit Gums (Don,t foret the Fruit Gums Mum).

Yes, Wagon Wheels were much bigger Tubthumper when they first came out.

Aye. Gone are the days when a Wagon Wheel was actually the size of the wheel off a wagon, and Curly-Wurlys were the size of a window-cleaner's ladder.

I miss the Wham bar.

Of all time, I think its a very hard decision, but I would have to go with penny shrimps, but I might change my mind tomorrow!!! It could be Fruit Pastilles, its a real toughie, between those to, you know you just got to chew! Curly Wurly gets an honorable mention too.

If it had to be a candy bar it would be Bounty!

[The Pepsi Challenge]

All the best ones - my favourites - are now long gone: Cabana, Golden Cup, Yankee bar.

[Valerie Campbell]

I'm showing my age here but I used to like Spangles. Then there was chewy passion fruits and I still like sports mixture, except the black ones...

[linnepinne]

my fav was mb bars and to this day caramals of all sorts, sticking to my teeth yum yum and my grand dad always bought us spangles when he used to visit .

i used to enjoy a nutty bar,and also a snack like a twix called a banjo(honest i,m not makin it up,from what i can remember anyway).

Wasn't a Banjo renamed Drifter? Just like Marathon changed to Snickers.

[Solus]

[karia]

Going to brush my teeth now,...leave me alone!

Growing up in Caithness West, aka Winnipeg, Manitoba, it was a special treat to go downtown to Eaton's and have Edinburgh Rock from the candy counter bin. Thanks floyed for bringing back the special memory.
