Chocolate Bars.

You two are but mere whipper snappers and are not old enough to have know the Kitkat of ye olde thymes, when to break a Kitkat you had to have balls of brass, and nerves of steel.

Or you were just a very puny kid?

I remember when a Mars Bar cost 6p and a Milky Way cost 3p. Snicker bars were called Marathons in those days. Salt and vinegar flavour crisps came in blue packets, while cheese and onion came in green. I don't think Double Deckers or Cadbury's Caramel bars had even been invented then. I am pretty sure Daim bars hadn't.

They used to be called Dime Bars.

As for popping tops off smarties, its to do with security of preventing people with tampering with your food on the shelf. Obviously the new card tubes are cheaper but I think they probably would have stuck with it.

I don't believe that, it's primarily for economic reasons and probably to also steal simple pleasures from the proletariat. You can still get into sherbet dips (if you were so inclined) but they now use a horrible thin plastic tube not the cardboard one that used to unspiral as it got wet and degrade into a mush with the sherbet, yum.

TBh I don't have sweet tooth and rarely eat them, however I did like fannying about with kit-kats and especially smartie tubes & tops.

PS haven't seen 2 finger ones for years, I will seek them out.

They tend to be sold in multi packs.

I can remember when Mars bars were 6d (old pennies) and Milky Way was thruppence

Is it me or are Double Deckers absolutely massive these days?
You know, the proper ones you get in vending machines..

Take one straight out of the fridge and you could kill someone with one if you hit them with it.

Farmfoods are doing 2 big(ish) Dairy Milks / Yorkies and a couple of other bars for £1, or 59p each

Lidl version of Kit Kat is the choc attack, they are better than KitKats imho.
