Oh dear, this is just the start of it, it's a sign of getting old, you think there smaller, but it's just your childhood memories of huge Mars bar's (also never ending long summer's where it never rained). Next thing you know you'll be muttering thing's like "that's not proper music, when i was your age, and all new car's look the same to me". It's a slippery slope you've started down, and there's no way back.

Always the same, the more you eat the smaller they look, the more you need to satisfy your hunger

Now we're getting near one of my party pieces.

Take one Normal Mars bar and say the words "Fun size, one bite big"

You can guess the rest.

What about Jaffa cakes. We once had a "see how many Jaffa cakes you can get in your mouth in 1 go" competition.

The winner managed 8 - anyone beat it ??

I blame Tony Blair and New Labour for it myself! It has to be their fault or couold it be a new EU directive like the one that said Cucumbers had to be straight, Bananas had to be yellow, London buses were unsafe because they didn't have enough door or the fact that UK toilets were unhygenic due to the size of the hole in them

Even the king size Marsbars are not filling anymore
