About 10 years ago Cadburys had to admit they had shrunk Creme Eggs. They claimed it was due to metrication. Apparently things can only get smaller when they go metric - funny that.
I remember Waggon Wheels needing 2 hands. But maybe my hands were smaller then biggrin

Sherbert Fountains that really did fountain when you spat down the hole in the licorice. Not like the useless things they pass off now.
