Now a poxy night-club full of underrage drinkers on E...... 10p to get in 20p for a carton of Kiora with a moulded plastic top which used to bend yer straw when you tried to stick it on Flash Gordon and plastic rockets on clearly-visible strings Dodgy British films from the Children's Film Foundation A few crap cartoons Used to treat misself every now and then to a Cornetto, when they used to be so big you needed 2 hands to hold em, rather than 2 fingers like today Edited April 4, 2007 by tactically_naive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they've deffo got smaller, along with Wagon Wheels which used to be big enough to use on an actual wagon, and Curly Wurlies that were so big you could use them as ladders. You'll be telling me Mars Bars are as big as they used to be!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a poxy night-club full of underrage drinkers on E...... 20p for a carton of Kiora with a moulded plastic top which used to bend yer straw when you tried to stick it on I'd totally forgotten those cartons. Took you half an hour trying to stab the straw through because you looked cooler drinking it that way, then in the end you pulled the the top off anyway and drank it with sticky gunge over your fingers. And it tasted foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StipeTripe Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) You sure it were Kiora?? Surely it was simply chemical waste that was orange in colour with half a bag of sugar mixed into it, a by product and lucrative sideline for the CarcinogensRus plant in Trafford Park? Oh and yes to the waggon wheel/curlywurly/crisps/mars bar/creme egg shrinkage theories, but the real shame for me, and quite frankly I think it needs its own discussion was when they stopped putting the cardboard trays in Bounty bars. F'k me that confused me Exile Edited April 5, 2007 by StipeTripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Stipe Its not actually technically late, they said 7/10 working days, which would be next Friday at the latest, it just they got my hopes up by saying it was on a delivery they were due this morning, but for this morning now read Tuesday.
