Quality Street

Wispa = !sick!

I always hated it!

[Pervert]

I was an addict, so I'm avoiding it.

When I'm keeping fit, I can avoid the sweeties- despite a natural sweet tooth.

Sweets are declining in quality though. We've all had our phases- a Double Decker phase, a Twix phase.........

.....the Milky Way, aah! In the 80s, amazing!!

Now, disgusting.

[Trumpton]

Why is it that most of the sweets of our childhood are today either tiny sized, or taste horrible?

[fudgeflaps]

Laws, rules, regulations.

[Trumpton]

It might have something to do with our taste buds changing as we get older.

[Pervert]

Probably true, since the stuff Fudgey remembers so fondly from the 1980s seemed to me a mere echo of the stuff I grew up with in the 1960s.

[Trumpton]

My chocolate eating days were also in the 1960's. Chocolate was real chocolate in those days. Bournville tasted like chocolate should taste.

[fudgeflaps]

I remeber being 'the kid in a sweet shop'.

The packaging of the sweets was a huge attracting factor!!

[Trumpton]

I grew up eating Topic bars. They were nice and big and would fill you up. These days Topics are tiny and can be consumed after two bites!
