One chocolate bar that I noticed was missing from these is Ice Breaker made by Cadbury’s. I even wrote to them asking if they’d bring it back but they just said something about bringing out different bars all the time. Apart from mint Aero, I can’t think of any other bar that’s minty. Ice Breaker had shards of mint inside the chocolate and the bar was wrapped in a pale blue foil wrapper. Those were the days. Most bars these days are smaller but still cost a lot!

Bar Six was one of the nicest chocolate bars ever. I can still vividly summon up the memory of the taste in my mouth. For anyone too young or those who have forgotten, it was like a Kit-Kit but with much creamier chocolate and a softer, crumblier wafer.

I remember when Marathon gave way to the Snickers bar. Very sad day

@@gills4thrills Me too; I boycotted them for a while in silent protest - I mean 'Snickers' what sort of a name is that, sounds like the school sneak laughing - just to appease the americans I suppose. Pffft.

@@gills4thrills I thought they were bigger too - a common wheeze is to put 'New Shape' on the packet. The double size bars I think were used the same way, bring them in for a while then remove them and make the standard bar smaller. There is no value for money anymore.
