Smarties

[Hue Jorgan]

Toffee crisps are ‘flatter’ and smaller

Them there chocolate mini rolls - used to big a feast - now they are just a couple of quick nibbles.

That reminds me I must collect my wife’s new bra from M and S.

Crisps are crap these days there is nowt in a bag. I bet there is not even one potato in a bag of crisps.

A Mars day make you want another 2

Not as catchy as the original jingle

Aye, I know I was smaller and that years ago, but now even the "grab bag" packs seem to have fuck all in them

I’ve just had a tube of Smarties. First time for years. The tube was not round it was hexagonal and it did not have the plastic lid.

38g in the tube. They were ok but my memory of them was nicer than the crushing blow of reality.

What else do you think is not as good as it was?

Football.

This place.

I remember when there were so many posts each day we all had to get bigger monitors to be able fit them all in. The humour was better with at least one thread becoming the basis of a hit show at the Edinburgh Fringe, and the rivalries were more intense culminating in Paul Lemons Banana Boots serving time for his violent stalking of PongoPeterson. And board invasions - wow - there was actually a legal state of war in existence between us and the Gardeners World lot.

It’s all so tame now.

Mind, I could have done without that Preston lass’s kebab making an appearance.

Bought a multi pack of Kettle Chips recently and there were about five crisps in each bag.

Are twix's smaller? I don't eat stuff like that now but had one a couple of years ago, was nowt like I remember when I was a young lad, tasted different.

Aye. Things just shrivel up when you get old.

 

[Georgewhitt]

Aye. Things just shrivel up when you get old.

Apart from your lugs apparently.
They just keep on growing.
And nose hair.

Used to play a tube of smarties for hours as a kid firing the plastic lid across the room.

If you got four empty tubes you could put your cats legs in them and make him a very cross robot cat

Wine bottles don’t hold enough wine. I have one glass and I am immediately concerned that there is not enough left in the bottle.

 

[Crayola-Kid]

Rolos are crap now as well.

Rolo wankers. Got caught making a big deal of their generosity of adding a “free” Rolo to the tube, when they’d taken one away a few months earlier

 

[Chubbs]

Mars bars are shit now. The ones in the multipack are tiny
