Make you a deal let me crash at yours for a few weeks and I'll bring you a suitcase of Lemon Curd.

Deal! You can sleep in the vacant apartment downstairs. It's aaaaaall yours :D

Too young to remember the advert and can still get them but this is mildly disturbing. And hilarious

I remember that Kinder advert and far from being disturbing I think it's rather avant-garde.

Chocolate cigarettes. I was the f**king daddy with those badboys at school
Cool

I did also enjoy sucking on a Fishermans friend.

Love a cheese sarnie Lime! Stick a bit of pickle in there, pinch of mayo or salad cream. Ummmm. Heaven.

(Well, I'm hoping heaven is actually better than a cheese sandwich, but anyway. Ha, God walking about with a tray of triangle sandwiches. 'Cheese sandwich Roy? (Castle)...

:D Did nobody else call your morning snack this? I think it may have derived from the word 'piece' as in bread so it might be a Scottish thing. Either that or my parents lied to me Teary

'Play piece' is definitely a Scottish thing. I remember going to my Granny in Glasgow and asking if I could have a sandwich and she replied 'of course you can have a piece.'

'But Granny I want a whole sandwich, not just a piece.'

She always said I'd get a piece at a'bodies door. A true compliment.

Lion bars and Picnics used to be much bigger than they are now. As were Curly-Wurlys, which used to be about a foot long. :(

I'm not sure if everythings got smaller
But Twix & Curly wurly used to have toffee instead of caramel so you'd get all those stringy bit's when you took a bite.
and they used to all be in paper wrappers, the Bounty bar had a couple of bits of cardboard in as well didn't they?

Daim bars have for some reason not made it to Australia. I used to buy them by the boxload when I lived in Denmark. And I miss Asian street stall food.

I think you can or could up to a few years ago. I remember eating them at school (pre-2001).

Animals! Still around and very yummy.
