Re: what happened to....
Nooo, Wispa had really tiny holes and loads of chocolate, but Aero has huge holes and less chocolate... plus Cadbury's chocolate tastes better than Mars chocolate, imo.
I'll admit that the old Wispa adverts were crap though

Thanks very much for the offer Mate!  They changed the recipe for curly wurly`s back in 1975 i think it was and they were never the same!
Used to love Texan bars though, the sort of thing that would pull your fillings out!
Why did they change Milky way bars as well!>?????????????

Yeah Whispa was more chocately and seemed sort of slightly coffee flavoured to some slight extent.
I also love Mint Matchmaker sticks, very nice......and double deckers.
A couple of years ago they used to make these little chocolate Christmas puddings that were in two halves. They were lovely and had a kind of milk chocolate truffle nutty centre !!!
Then they decided to poison them by adding a marzipan flavour to them. yuck.

Yeah - I remember Spangles - hated the Old English ones 
And Nux bars - I thought they were a figment of my imagination! They were lovely 
Oh, the joys of my parents owning a sweetshop as I was growing up!

Spangles were great because they seemed to be the first boiled sweet that didn't rip the roof of your mouth apart, like a 'sour lemon' or a 'pear drop', would.
- but they did get very gooey, in your pocket, on a hot day
- and how many 'mighty imps' could you hold in your mouth at the same time ?
