Shocking news

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Caramac . . . another name from my childhood gone.

I loved it ad a kid . . . now ? probably not so much.

Awful news, an absolute legendary bar, never enough of it though. Sad times (even though we can’t get it here in the DPRK anyway).

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Shocking. Back in the day you could win bars of it at the end of Worthing Pier in the amusements.

I've actually been looking to see where I can get some for my final moment with it. Not sure there is anywhere.

 

[Flounce]

Ridiculously sweet, no complaints from me!

 

[chickens]

In theory I’ll miss it, in practice the last time I had one it felt like I’d bitten into concentrated sugar. Unbearably sweet.

Cadbury have brought out a similarly evil concoction which I have tried once and will not be returning to.

I've not forgiven Nestlé for discontinuing Cremola Foam.... now this.

I saw one the other day! I think it was in a Co-Op in Yapton.

Goodness me, my life is dull.

My kind of dull, I shall make the journey.

Ive got a couple of bars in the fridge right now. Far superior to Cadbury's recent Caramilk offering.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Noooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

[Mellotron]

My kind of dull, I shall make the journey.

Please don't quote me on it. I KNOW I saw one in the wild recently - because I noted how rare it was to see them.

I THINK that's where I saw it, but it might've been somewhere else similar.

Somewhere between Worthing and Bognor. I'd appreciate if you made an indie documentary of you going to all small chain convenience stores between those locations, hunting for one last 'Mac.

The FA are already on the case and a minute's applause for Caramac will be held at all Prem grounds this weekend.

Glad it's not a minute's silence as no doubt some Tunnock ****s would ruin it by chanting about Caramel bars during.

 

[Bozza]

Is the Cadbury's Caramilk a reasonable alternative?

 

[A mex eyecan]

Had one about 12 months ago and it seemed different from what they used to be like. Stupidly sweet. I’m sure they weren’t like that. Is this yet another example where the brand owners make changes to the product which many don’t like and stop buying = lower sales = discontinuation.

Most likely yup though all the above is wrong and it’s just down to my taste buds getting older.

Strangely I went looking for a bar the other week and couldn't find one. This was after a family discussion when we were remembering old chocolate bars from the 70s (we have scintillating, intellectually-rigorous discussions in our family) and I was reminded that I'd virtually lived on them when I was a kid. So I went to get one to see if it was still going to be a favourite and there were none to be found. I guess if they'd fallen out of favour then shops didn't stock them, and the whole thing became a bit of a vicious circle.
