Toblerone (2 Viewers)

Now that the shock of Donald Trump's election victory is fading, how about this other great shock:

And this is just one example of how what you buy is no longer what it used to be.

Not that fussed on them! Surprised ASDA / Tesco etc haven't brought out their own versions. Don't think I have ever bought a Toblerone, only Xmas!

 

[stupot07]

I bought one the other week and was miffed they had made it smaller. Its not even like you'd sit And eat a whole toblerone in one go like you might with a Snickers, etc.

Speak for yourself!

Far too sickly to eat in one go!! I like it with a nice cup of tea and let it melt in my mouth....yummy!

Its probably my favourite type of chocolate.

I am outraged.

Spacing is very important in a chocolate bar.

It would have been better if they'd just made it smaller rather than look like a knock off version of itself.

I'm still trying to get over Marathon being changed to Snickers...

Coconut Boost? What!!!! Coconut Boost? What? When? Where? Why wasn't I told of their existence?

Won't beat Tab Clear

Put it in a glass to mess with people's minds.

I'm going to say late 80's. Think they were the first ones, then they added a peanut one and then the one we have now. Coconut ones were amazing.

Edit - everything you never wanted to know about Boost

Boost was launched in 1985 as a tough coconut and caramel bar coated in chocolate. It was then relaunched in a further two variants: a peanutversion with peanut butter (yellow wrapper) and a biscuit version. The coconut version is no longer available. The peanut variant is now called a Starbar. Starbar originally existed before peanut Boost but was taken off the market and rebranded. Then they changed their mind and rebranded it as Starbar again. The biscuit version is now the standard Boost bar. A further version was launched in the UK in 2002[1] with a green wrapper: this contained guarana; was marketed alongside the biscuit Boost; and advertised with the slogan "Boost Guarana: One Step Ahead". However, this was eventually discontinued.

I have tried the guarana ones.

Never felt awake from them, just like the Caramel.

Do like a Starbar too, never knew they were related though.

It's like Christmas, the chocolate tins (now tubs) have massively decreased in size!

Are they like distant cousins or something?

On the subject of chocolate bars. Remember Aztec bars ? Popular in the 60's and more recently Fuse bars were nice,but they disappeared.

Not surprised that Fuse bars disappeared. It is the crap bars of chocolate that stay where you put them.

This is one of my favourites. It's made in Mexico. Not sure if you can get it in the UK.
It's chocolate covered marshmallow and strawberry. 1.2oz now, used to be 1.5 oz.

There's one like that, but I can't remember the name.

I'm glad they have shrunk the size of Toblerones, it has always been the chocolate bar of whinging twats who don't really like chocolate. Get a proper bar down you like a Lindt 80% and stop screeching you small bits of nougat loving, gap racist nancy boys!

I vaguely remember them as tasting horrible, kind of like those soft centres you always leave in the box for your girlfriend to eat.

Lindt??? FFS! If there's a Nancy-boy's chocolate bar, then THAT'S it! Lindt! Ha ha!

Note the price - 3d - that's three OLD pence which is 1½p in today's rip off decimal world!

I remember the old English ones! A mixture of weird flavours. Butterscotch and Humbug were two I think. What were the other flavours?

Pronounced "Threpunce"

Well I'm not the one mincing about with a thickly ridged 12 incher hanging from my chops am I?

 

[lifeskyblue]

Spangles...lovely. My grandma and grandad bought my sister and I a packet most weeks when we were kids in the 60s. Happy memories
