    Have you seen the state of Jaffa cakes? They’re about a third of the previous size.

    Don’t know how you can tell there’s hardly enough in a packet to get the taste these days! :confused:

    I'm still mourning the loss of Brannigans. There's nothing that compares to the feeling of a particularly mustardy pack burning the lining of your sinuses off.

    I bought some Rolo yesterday for the first time in Eons. So small I had to put three in to feel like I had one worth eating.

    Mars bars. A few years ago when Mars brought out their “Giant Mars”, you could hardly carry it never mind eat it.

    I would agree with that, greatest tragedy of the 21st century.

    I was just telling my nearly 17 year old about brannigans the other day.

    All the flavours too. Sad loss. Tesco do a beef and horseradish flavour that isn’t quite the slap to the face you often got from the beef and mustard Brannigans but they’re decent as a substitute.

    And don’t get me started on the absolute state of what they call Toffee Crisps - ridiculous. They’re as thin as a digestive biscuit. And as for Rocky biscuits - where has all the chocolate gone?

    Maybe we used to be a third of our current size.

    The average height of 10 year olds in the UK is 1cm shorter than it was in 2010. Can't think why....

    Add me to the Brannigans Club. Lamb and Mint of theirs was a particular treat.
