    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

    And only from one supermarket chain.
    The limited-edition bars will only be available in Morrisons, priced at £1 for a pack of four.

    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.

    Apparently Snickers bars have been around since about 1930, and the name is from Franklin C. Mars' favourite horse.

    As an avid shill for consumer of said product, I have no issue with that name change.

    But anyway, it's a fabulous product - makes my skin look great!

    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

    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.
