    I want to see proper Yorkie bars brought back. The current ones are just normal bars of chocolate. The selling point used to be that they were gigantic. They need to have proper ads too.

    A good rich and thick milk chocolate brick

    And I don’t have to watch that add- it’s been Yorkie from day 1

    Or Vauxhall Fruits as they were called in the UK.

    Are you sure you weren't just smaller? :)

    While we're on the subject, bring back Texan bars.

    This was back in the day when there was no way you could simply "snap off" a segment of a real Yorkie as shown in the ad. Especially not with your teeth like this truker does (you'd leave teeth marks and possibly even your own teeth enbedded in the bar).

    No....to remove a real Yorkie segment you'd need to whack it off the side of a table a few times, and once the table was tenderized enough that segment might pry out with enough strength and swearing.


    ....god I miss that bar.....

    Bring back the Lion bar that's not the size of your little finger

    The peanut flavour


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 107 ✭✭noel1980


    ... and just when I was getting used to calling them "snickers"...:rolleyes:


    I think my Dad still calls them "Marathon", so I guess he'll be ok:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 107 ✭✭noel1980


    The golly bar was the king of ice creams. Simple yet filling.
    Gone but not forgotten


    Golly bar? Wasn't that just plain vanilla ice cream on a stick?

    Well, it’s better than hearing that every product will become a generic brand name.

    But when will they actually start making decent chocolate again? Over the past decade, most chocolate has gone to hell. :( Smaller sizes, inferior ingredients, etc.

    I never ever got used to Jif being rebranded “Cif.” Never. No siree...

    I want “Starburst” to revert to its proper name - Opal Fruits. And I want the original flavours back - Lemon (my favourite), Lime, Strawberry and Orange. None of this “sours” BS...

    Rum and Butter bars are sorely missed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 65 ✭✭rocksolidfat


    This is going to make lecturing the kids on "back in my day" 20 years down the line really fecking awkward, when I'd have the auld lad telling me "no no no, in MY day it was Marathon so y'ere fecking wrong!".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,117 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    Jif changing to Cif biggest one for me

    I think I remember them pretending that the name change was due to "Jif" being too difficult for non-English speakers to say (and this having nothing to do with them sharing the name with a certain brand of lemon juice).

    I then later in life I emigrate to Scandinavia, and loe and behold...."Jif" branded cleaning stuff in every shop....and not an "easier to pronounce" Cif to be seen anywhere. The Cheeky liars!

    I used to eat a topic a day fryup.
    Gave them up the time they found rats toe nails in one of them.
