Re: Whatever happened to:......

Sadly this is something ive noticed with maltesers.

Can you remember when you started noticing the difference.

It's a few years ago I'd say ..

They were moorish and I the boxes were a nightmare to leave alone but now I don't even consider buying any of them ...

Many of my faves have stayed the same so it's not my tastebuds ..

I don't think it was Fray Bentos. I remember the tins were red.

There were some brand seen advertised in some 1980s women's magazines called Pek. Could it be that one?

You can still get them at Asda & Poundland.

Does anybody remember Splicer? The name rings a bell, but I can't remember the sweet.

Not sure of the brand name but canned steak and kidney pie -- it came in a tin about six or eight inches in diameter. I used to see it in the international foods section of the supermarket when I was a kid. It seemed very exotic to me back then but I haven't seen it on the shelves in years.

Gypsy Creams
Cocktail ice lollies (Brandy Alexander was my favourite, but I also remember Tequila Sunrise and Pina Colada flavours.)
Pacers (green and white striped chewy sweets)

You're right. Originally it was basically a Mars bar without the caramel, then the centre got much lighter in colour and I think a bit less dense.

This reminds me - Double Deckers. I'm sure that way back when, the lower half of the bar (the bit that isn't nougat) contained raisins. I've actually just checked on Wikipedia, and yes - they did indeed contain raisins. They were removed in the mid 1980s as a result of consumer research, apparently.

Still love Double Deckers, with or without the raisins.
