Default Favorite Candy Bar ? Discontinued?

For me it was always the Mars Bar, which in the US had almonds in it.
In the UK your Mars is our Milky Way. Now for us, the cool name and packaging has become Snickers with almond. I feel jiped somehow.

Old 80's TV ad. Cheeky.

Our Marathon Bar was raped to become a Snicker... Always tasted better as a Marathon too...

Texan Bar.................cheeeeewwwwwwyyyyyyyy or what. Being part owner of a sweet shop I have hunted high and low for this but alas. No more. They resurrect the bloody Wispa bar and that's it.

Does anyone else notice how much chocolate bars have shrunk over the years?

The king size Mars bar you get nowadays is smaller than the normal one you used to get years ago.
