Lickszz Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I find this kind of thing totally laughable. Has anyone noticed the size of Wagon Wheels these days? Is it me of have they seem to have shrunk? Back in the day they used to be the size of my hand, these days they are nothing more than a little biscuit. The best thing about it is that on the packaging they have the cheek to put "Original Wagon Wheel". Are they trying to take the p*** or what?

halevan Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Daren't eat them, too fat already, getting fatter by the hour, never look for them, nice but naughty, never stop, walk straight on. You should do the same, use willpower, keep your money in your pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPG Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 do you not think that when you were younger your hands were smaller there is proof WagonWheels havent changed size, as they measured one back "in the day" as you say, and they are the same size, its just a brain trick. Mars Bars on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars Bars on the other hand... No, I meant the size of my hand now. Where is this proof? I know it's alot smaller. Just the same as Walkers crisps only fill half the bag as a pose to a full bag back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_W Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 there is proof WagonWheels havent changed size, as they measured one back "in the day" as you say, and they are the same size, its just a brain trick. Mars Bars on the other hand... I too thought that but it must be said everything has got smaller and the packaging bigger. I think the original Mars bars were somewhere between the current size and the 'King Size' version. Now what about the chocolate on the Club biscuits, is it me or has the chocolate layer got thinner ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Who said wagon wheels were always the same size, come on own up. It's a lie. I ate them when I was a nipper... I ate them when I was a teenager. They have shrunk. As for Mars bars check out my website on the 'nostalgia' page. http://www.geocities.com/miseryguts2002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when they used to be 20p though, you'd struggle to find them for less than 30p now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
