[on the road]

Snickers are becoming Marathons again, Starburst are going back to being Opal Fruits

And about time too

 

[Paulus]

If it means that the women are going to have big hair, stilletto heels and power suits again, then I'm all for it, However, interest rates were up around 15% and inflation was rampant. Fortunately Mrs Thatch won't be making a comeback.

 

[Dayvo]

Are Spangles/Acid Drops going to make a re-appearance?

 

[Night Train]

So does this mean I will have to dye my hair blue and start another band?

We should have the 80's prices to go with the 80's products.

 

[Milo]

Id be fine with mid 90s prices myself I remember a mars bar being 20p and im a young pup.

 

[Dayvo]

Id be fine with mid 90s prices myself I remember a mars bar being 20p and im a young pup.

I remember Mars bars being the size of a house brick and costing 9d/4p!

 

[Milo]

although saying that There was no 1471 in the 80s and people had neopoliton ice cream

 

[Trillian]

i remember mars bars costing 30p

my girlfriend remembers them being 40p, there's three years between us and i grew up out in the sticks, she grew up on the edge of a town.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Can you still get Blue Riband?

Remember that ad with the bloke strumming the guitar at the dinner table?

"I've got those, can't get enough of those blue riband blues,
Blue ribands the milk chocolate wafer biscuit i always choose
when my woman treats me right, she gets me blue riband crispy and light,
I've got those, can't get enough of those....oh! Thank you!"

(I've just wasted 2 minutes typing all that in...)

Look wot I found.

 

[Fnaar]

i remember mars bars costing 30p

my girlfriend remembers them being 40p, there's three years between us and i grew up out in the sticks, she grew up on the edge of a town.

Ha! I remember them when they were under a shilling! Then when we went all metric they were 5p.

 

[Noodley]

Blue Riband were crap...dusty cardboard covered in a thin layer of poor chocolate

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Breakaways were nice though.

 

[Noodley]

Breakaways were nice though.

Breakaways were lovely. There was always one end and one side with thicker chocolate than the other end and side...I always bit round the ends and side first.

 

[Dayvo]

I thought Blue Riband was margarine!
