They have got smaller, I've not seen any in a while come to think of it.
The jam ones are the best.

Wagon Wheels! 
Push chair wheels, not even close 
More like Tesco trolly, scrub that too big 
Shimano BB bearings, nope still too big 
Squashed fly that had just been eating jam, close enough

don't get me going on small portions of choclate covered stuff
curly wurly
mars bar
marathon (yes i do mean marathon what the fook is snickers all about)
finger of fudge (finger! fookin finger? my ar5e it's bearly a pencil)
now i accept that the ratio of a 9 year old boy ( yes i was 9 once ) to a mars bar is a bit different to a mars bar to a 40 year old podgy orange but this shrinking our food by stealth to maximise profitabilty is not on
and another thing, i openned a pack of walkers chicken crisps and found about 6 crisps in there. 6!!
i know let's make our crisp portions smaller so we can introduce a larger size bag and then we can increase sales, (enter the 50gram bag)
oh and whilst i am on it that's what they did with mars bars, first the giant one (which i understand was withdrawn as it would encourage obesety which was replaced by the DUO!! so you could eat a bit now and a bit later)
there will be hell to pay if Grolsch duo is introduced
although they do do a grolsch quad which is four cans held together with plastic
rant over

Was telling some of my mates about cremola foam, they had no clue. Not seen it for years.
Used to love the stuff when a nipper.
Even put it in my vod when I grew to be a big lad.
Anyone seen it?

Black jacks - always came in the same bag as rhubarb and custard which were yummy.

I remember you could buy a packet of custard creams for that. That's what I did on occaission rather than sweets. Lasted a lot longer 
I don't remember the rhubarb and custard (except the cartoon of course) maybe because I've never liked rhubarb. Space dust I remember but methinks we've had that discussion before elsewhere on the forum.
