I'm wondering why quite a lot of you changed it from thought about to wondered and wonder if that is related to the wonder that is in my name.

earlier i thought about the "big one" rocking the area and my guinea pig dying.

Which is the best - Skips or Hula Hoops?

Hula Hoops, Skips are terrible. No crunch, all gooey and sticky.

Yea, but Ships melt on your tongue! I remember a few years back they briefly released Salt and Vinegar Skips, which I think I'd rate as one of my favourite ever crisps... Except maybe those thing I had when I was younger that were shaped like pigs. Wow, I'd forgotten all about them...
Can anyone remember what they were called? They were like hollow 3D piggies, and I think they were bacon flavour...

Yes they were cool, and those fish and chips ones they were lush too !

Ships melt on your tongue? Crikey, although I can't help but wonder if that was a type-o, after all the "h" key is two away from the "k" key. Sjips melting on your tongue would have been acceptable.


Re: the pigs, your not thinking about wheat crunchies are you? Although they're not pig shaped.

I've recently discovered an outlet selling space invader crisps in multi-packs......... I was so excited. I also used the opportunity to purchase a multi-pack of monster munch.

Lunch time has never been so fun.

Were they the ones that came in a bag that looked like newspaper?

yes, they were very strong tasting, sucking the salt off then letting the baked biscuit melt in to your mouth, luxury !

Mrs Ballbag bought me some wagon wheels the other week. The first time I'd had them since being a kid.

I was amazed at how much smaller they are nowadays, until she pointed out that probably it's due to the fact that my hands have grown........a "relative size" thing.

I just don't know though.

Boboff, as a man in the confectionary/sweets trade, can you shed any light on this subject? Has the fudge you pack reduced in size over the years?

I think Wagon Wheels are smaller now.... and apparently harder to get hold of too.

Mrs Zoot bought a Multipack of Curly Wurlys over the weekend...
They seemed smaller too!

A Topic yesterday, which Mrs boboff kindly rescued when out in the rain, wiping bums at the weekend, and that was smaller too.

I really can't pack as much fudge as I used to when I was a lad though.

Creme Eggs are smaller,and have got smaller in just the last few years, so it can't be just a relative size thing. Wagon Wheels are definitely smaller than they used to be. Walnut Whips have shrunk, and Club biscuits have disappeared altogether. I miss them all, even though I never really used to eat them anyway.

Also, the pig shaped snakes were called Piglets apparantly...


Yes, and thank you, the piglets were ok if you got them whole, I seem to remember allot of broken ones, like getting iced gems and you seem to get 10 biscuits with no icing and only find three lumps of icing in the bottom of the bag..... How !
