yeah ditto, I think curly wurlies were bigger and it's not cos i'm bigger now either...

I think just lately the Cadbury's twirl bar has got shorter too, not happy with that, even tho you get 2 sticks, they're small.

Oh, and yes I remember the mint toffo's too, and the noise the sweeties made in their little boxes with the punched out thumb bit where they fell out..

Hey talking of that, do you remember the PEZ sweets? they used to have popeye at the top you'd lift his head and a brick like candy sweet used to come out...

Ooh your fave too, well you got good taste then! What's the choccie like in Germany then? I hate America's chocolate that tasts foul and bitter!

I've had belgium choccy, but you know I still prefer cadbury's, buttons, dairy milk or twirl. Mmmmm but i agree, what would we do with choccie buttons!
