      Goodbye peanut M&Ms

      TREATS! melt in your mouth, not in your hand!
      Recently learned that the red M&M in the ad is voiced by the guy who voices Fry in Futurama, which is no surprise... but the goofy yellow M&M is voiced by the guy who played the psycho neo nazi in Oz and the sadist teacher in Whiplash. A fact that I really enjoy. :D

      Had a snickers the other day for the first time in a while and A: it was tiny abd B: tasted like fake shyte.

      It's such a shame that chocolate has been reduced to the state it's in now. A snickers used to be a really nice treat. Now I'm unlikely to ever buy one again.

      the big confectionery manufacturers had an agreement with the EU, or various governments, or some busy body do gooders, that they would reduce a bar to below a certain number of calories.

      They started by taking out a lot of the sugar and other tasty, but otherwise nasty stuff that none of us are supposed to eat any more, until they got to the point that the only next step was to reduce the size of the bar itself.

      The golly bar was the king of ice creams. Simple yet filling.

      You really have to hand it to Aldi with their naming of copycat brands.

      They should have gone the whole hog and called it '26 Miles'.

      Their chocolate isn't actually the worst. Their 'Titan' (fake Mars) is as good as the real thing nowadays.

      Will they be also reverting to the old ingredients - the bar that didn’t include palm oil, soya flour, cocoa mass and other gross shït used to bulk up the product?

      Modern chocolate is an abomination

      If you're willing to pay €2+ a bar for it.

      The price point is whats causing them to for cheap filler; people will stop buying bars over a certain price on impulse. Its about €1.30 here. So they get worse and get smaller to keep under that price.
