A few years ago, they took a rolo out of the packet and then put the price up!

you can get 3 inch drumsticks. the normal ones are about the size of an old penny chew.
Must have been a regular one then: most unsatisfactory.

33 pence for a packet of polos. I remember when polos were 7 pence! 
I think they're the same size though. :giggle:

I'm sure they used to be bigger!!!

I have never managed to resolve what I think of as the wagon wheel size issue.
I cant believe how big they were compared to now. The same goes for drumsticks and curly wurlies.
But at the back of my mind is this nagging doubt that I used to be 3ft 2 and weigh 4 stone so perhaps my memory is distorted. If anybody knows of a museum of sweet packaging we could organise an SH charabanc and put the matter to rest.

Have Mars bars got lighter?
I can remember them being a noticeable weight at one time. Especially cold from the fridge.
Have the contents been absorbed by aliens during manufacture, and reinstated in a more dissipated formula?
Don't like Mars Bars (unless there's nothing better on offer :twisted: ) but I seem to recall they changed the formula a few years ago to make it more appealing to the changing tastes of the populace. I think they tried to make it less sickly. Mr Stuff believes they use different recipes in winter to summer. The chocolate has a slightly different texture and the caramel a different consistency. Unless it's just a variation due to the atmosphere in each season
He maintains he is not an addict. He can give them up anytime he likes. Anytime...

Cadbury's Creme Eggs shrank some years ago. They swore blind it wasn't true. Then had to admit it - and claimed it was due 'metrication'. HUH! So just why did they have to get SMALLER?

Another product that underwent a change in the formula too. They used to be much sweeter, gooier and sticky. I preferred the previous recipe when I was younger, but now find them too sickly. Why does growing up do that?

Maybe the sweets are the same size, but peeps have got bigger

Nonsense Devon! Absolute horse-droppings. You seen Wham bars lately? 
They're tiny I tell you. It's people like you doing their dirty work for 'em and trotting out excuses like 'Maybe the sweets are the same size, but peeps have got bigger' that allows these bloody confectioners to get away with it. 
I remember when a Curly Wurly was big enough and tooth-breakingly strong enough to make a handy makeshift ladder for cleaning yer upstairs windows. You try that with what passes for a bleedin' Curly Wurly these days and see how far you get. About 4 inches off the bloody ground, that's how far, assuming the new-fangled softer toffee in it takes yer weight in the first place. It's not chuffin' well on!
