I also miss
chocolate not being so bloody expensive. I spotted a chomp bar in the co-op the other day and was going to buy it for its retro appeal but it was 17p! Seventeen-bloody-pence! Not to sound tight arsed or anything, but I remember when they were 5p...

17p for a chomp bar?
Daylight fucking robbery.

I remember Polos always being 8p
Now they are closer to 50p

I've got 5p,
Wish that I had 5p,
What can you buy with 5p,
You can buy a Caramac Bar!

Fuck knows how much they are now.

Yeah, kind of like a cross between cheap chocolate, fudge, and lard, rolled out thin.

No need to use the past tense
My flatmate came back from the cornershop the other day and proudly announced that he'd found one there.

(Of course, that's not to say it had been manufactured recently...)

They were free,
if you slipped them in your pocket when the shop guy had his back turned.

Someone had better make a "finger of fudge" joke soon
or we'll be breach of the Nostalgic Chocolate Discussions (Internet) Act.
