Choccy bar nostalgia

[RoverRowe]

The other day I found myslef getting nostalgic over the chocolate bars that have disappeared since my childhood & youth (late 70s/80s). In particular I have fond memories of Texans, splicers (not chocolate I know) and best of all Cabanas. Also I remember Curly Wurlys being huge (have they actually shrunk or have I grown?). Any childhood choccy bar nostalgia you would like to share?

We should get a campaign going for the resurrection of texan bars? Or do you think, like the shrinking curly wurly, this might carry risk of disappointment and we are best left with our memories? Ohh, that soft stringy nougat and falling off chocolate!

Everlasting Strips.. Yummy. Bought one, still got it. :-) Not like that tin of evaporated milk, [empty tin]. :-(

I recently bought a curly wurly from my local newsagent and happen to mention that they seem so much smaller nowadays and he said they've recently reduced the weight again.Funny how they dont reduce the price.
