... were Cadbury's creme eggs approximately the same size as a standard chicken egg about 40 years ago?

I've just seem some in the local shop and they'd be hard pressed to match a Sparrow's egg for size.

At least Monster Munch have now returned to their original size. I can now no longer get a full one into my mouth, just like in the 80's!!

Don't mention Wagon Wheels i am sure they have shrink in size with age - or is it just that my hands have got bigger

Wagon Wheels pah they're nothing more than bed castors these days, I remember when you could use them as a spare in your Riley Kestrel..............those were the days

So either we've become bigger or they've shrunk.

I wonder which it is

I loved the way the old ones would stick to your teeth and you could spend the next hour picking bits out with your tongue.

Beef Monster Munch is back (Yellow Packet)

but they are not the same texture, they are less powdery :roll:

................. bring back all that powder, they taste better.

....................... Oh! and the Wispa bar is back ................

I'm going to campaign for the return of the original Wham Bar they were delicious & big thick & chunky with loads of sherbety bits on the top then they made them pathetic & limp & changed the flavour :evil:

And they were only 10p

I never had fillings back then

I liked the way there was a different amount of fizzy for the different planets on the back of the wrapper

No doubt Cadburys would say that they are the same size but chicken eggs have got larger

I'm with you on the "everything's" shrunk theory. Creme Eggs were definitely proper-sized when I were a lad :lol:

Faulty Kit-Kats were common and packets of crisps were mostly crisp - not air :roll:
