    Time of year that's in it shouldn't forget the Creme Egg's well documented fall from grace.
    Fcuking tiny now they are. The tiny bit of filling is sh1te now. Choc is muck. Aww why did they have to ruin everything that was good.

    Dont get me started about the sugar tax ruining most fizzy drinks. Surely these companies see their profits falling from selling horrible chemical filled crap packed with Aspartame & Steviol. Ugh thats nasty stuff.....

    You can get these in dealz at the minute but like everything else they are not as nice as they used to be��

    Bought a pack today and I was hoping you'd be wrong but I bit into one for the first time in over 10 years and my disappointment was instantaneous. Horrible. My day is ruined.

    The more I read this thread the more annoyed I am that all the good sweets have just vanished! Fun yums, french fries, toffos, mario ice creams, secret bars. Even cereal, what I'd give for some corn pops!!

    Lucozade changed formula a while back, replaced some of the sugar with artificial sweeteners. Not only does it taste manky now, but it's also not as good for hypoglycemia cures. I don't keep a bottle in the fridge anymore.

    Can anyone remember small blue packets of pretzels covered in chocolate? I think you could get them covered in white chocolate too.

    I need to know if they're still available.

    They have Flipz in Iceland. The shop, not the country. €1.50.

    I find the nicest orange/lemon drinks are the San pellgrino. Then there is fizzy clementine can from San Benedetto. 2 cans for 2 euro in a garage near me. Also real coke n vanilla can €1.60 in a shop in town. U can only get all zero coke n vanilla now in deals.

    Has anyone tried the San pellegrino orange & pomegranate?

    I used to love lucozade citrus but it’s absolutely mank now. Original lucozade used to be my hungover cure now it’s fizzy water, I think fizzy water now is nearly the fizziest drink I can get these days.

    Soft drinks:

    Check the ingredients, if it say "contains: phenylalanine" it's going to taste like crap. Used to be just diet versions, now it's most of them except regular Coke/Pepsi. Even Dr. Pepper has phenylalanine and tastes like crap. I used to love Dr. Pepper! None of this sugar tax adding phenylalanine crap in non-diet drinks in America. There would be riots.
