Title: Wagon Wheels and Crisps......... Post by: swindonmaniac on Thursday, May 24, 2018, 14:54:18 Is it just me or are crisps harder these days ?, Remember year's ago when a crisp was what it said, now, no matter what brand I buy they always seem to be hard. Maybe the teeth aren't what they used to be. Whilst I'm going down memory lane, can you remember Wagon Wheels as a kid, I'm sure they were as big as dinner plate, now there no bigger than a 10p piece, maybe its because I was smaller then, or is it just that I'm a lot greedier now ?.

It's capitalism. It's good for us. |
