Dinosaur poo? Ha!
No, we had to clean up after those pesky trilobites, bloody ubiquitous things, leaving white poo everywhere. You couldn't train them to do anything useful, either.

Pah. That's nothing. In my day I got sent down the cycle shop every Saturday to recharge the primordial ooze.
And back then the Milky Bar was made by a company pronounced "nessles". None of your dastardly foreign "ness-lay" pronunciation (nor dodgy baby milk formula promotion in third world countries).

Obviously people then had a less than PC name for them.

Cynical old me thinks the petition was raised by some marketing type at Cadbury. In the same way they brought back Wispas "by popular demand."

I think Justin Lee Collins did a programme on this a few years back. Or was it The A-Team? Either way it didn't work.
