Marathon's not snickers or is that just wishful thinking ?
I read a few weeks ago that they were bringing them back as Marathon bars.
If it's only 'temporary' though, I'm uncertain.

I used to like those paper covered chocolate cigarettes in the realistic packet.
Spanish Gold was the name of that fake pipe tobacco. :laugh:

I remember those Cowan's toffee bars.
If any of your teeth were loose and you had one of those then it was sure
to be extracted.
Same as those other toffee bricks with the toffee hammer.
