what was?

well Mars bars were, the bastids.

Then:

Now:

good grief, what else has progress royally messed up?

wtf are you on about?

Judging by the pics, I can only see that the new one is much much bigger. Surely that’s better value?

Nah, it ain’t bigger; camera angles deceive.
And I refuse to ask for a ‘snicker’;- if they ain’t got a Marathon then it doesn’t matter …

what’s different? Isn’t the goo on the top just a function of temperature? Stick it in the fridge.

pfft, kids, you’re clearly too young to remember the confectionary joy that was the unfettled Mars, the chocolate was much thicker, the caramel was more like a very soft slow toffee and the whippy stuff was browner and tasted so much better. the current Mars is a pathetic anemic charlatan!

I remember CU at uni used to make toasties out of them and sell them in the common room. V nice.

I agree, but what really grieves me is the lack of Texans and the diminutive diameter of todays Wagon Wheels.

here here the right honorable member lord halfbee raises a well presented and important issue!

where are all the bloody texans, we need this diameter issue addressing IMMEDIATELY!!

bloody bean counters have ruined the cornerstones of any good schoolboys lunchboxes!

we’re going to get into Curlywhirly terratory here. I’m sure as a child I used to use one to climb down from my bedroom window when I was sent to my room.

When i was a nipper all this was fields……

Its doesn’t matter what vintage a Mars Bar is, the Jocks will still ruin it.

i just pushed the Hovis boy off his bike.

And further more I didn’t need suspension to ride them there fields, a Chopper Sprint was more than enough.

Hello mormondroid/pertbum ………. nice to see yer

Mars Bars? MARS BARS?

When I were lad I got a handful of hot gravel washed down with last nights bath water, and I were grateful.

with last nights bath water

Bath water ? Where the fukk did you get bath water from ?

It were sandpaper for us.

It wasn’t our bath water, we had to collect it from t’ lord of t’ manor.

I tell thee, you tell kids today and they’d never believe you.

Hot Gravel? Luxury!

Aye, ‘ot gravel. Brought back from t’ foundry where as a lad of 6 I were forced t’ work 38 hour t’ days.

It were hard in t’ our house.

You had a bath!
Our idea of a hot shower were standin’ out in t’ rain in July …
