Heinz Kidney Soup was brill but now is not available. I say now but it was ditched very many years ago.

Birds Instant Whip was fab, especially the caramel, strawberry and banana flavours.
One packet with a pint of milk made three good helpings. So good that I would happily eat the lot!

It was thick and creamy, like a set custard, but then they changed  it to a soapy horrible aerated mousse!

Heinz Celery Soup has also gone.

What have they done to HP Sauce? It used to have a bit of spice.

I'm sure crisp packets used to be more full than they currently are.

Birds instant whip, loved the original flavour.

Right about crisps, crisp. You buy a multi pack of 6 and they could had got all the 6 packets in one bag. Should not be allowed.

I had a Larks' tongue. At least I thought I did but I didn't even get to bootcamp. Sad

Yeah...Celery Soup. I forgot about that one!

Totally correct about the mean size of everything when you can remember what used to be.

Waiting to pay at the village shop 15 minutes ago, and there was a display of "Fox's Glacier Mints" on the counter.

"Big bag" for £1.00 it said. Well no denying that the bag was big, but it felt like there were  12-15 max in it.

I don't eat sweets so no probs but, looking at the size and price of "Picnic/Lion" bars and "Mars-Bars" etc
I'm somewhat glad that I don't.

Recently the caramel bar has changed shape with thinner chocolate and corners removed, i wanted to know how much it had been reduced but guess what their is no weight on the packet anymore. If i didnt know better i would think they are trying to deceive us.

HP sauce seems to have changed to less spice more sweet.

Walkers Beef And Onion Crisps. Replaced with a sweeter Steak flavour.

A lot of these removal of 'stronger' flavours is due to the flaccid pallate of the young who want to eat bland tasteless crap all the time

I was also a fan of Bovril Crisps, along with sausage and tomato flavour.

a few years back I was in my local newsagents and noticed some sweets that I liked as a nipper and bought a pack ,cant remember the name of em sour tasting things they were ! but the feckers had put the sweeets in side by side instead of stacked on top of each other! as an example  like opal fruits are packed ,cheating bstards only had about half a dozen in the pack !
