Nerds were the sour version, and by far the best

A shop by me that sells all American stuff sell Wonka bars which you used to get as well. Ł5.95 for a little bar though!

You're a mind reader, lol, I just clicked back on this thread having copied a link to paste!

https://www.americalicious.co.uk/shop/Breakfast

Lucky charms too!

Nerds and Runts are on there as well. They've also got a Wonka Bar for Ł2.95, but that's just one single square, about 2" by 3"

Nah they disappeared about 7 or 8 years back, I was gutted!

They kept doing Cinammon Graham's until a couple of years back, which was some consolation, then they stopped doing them as well! But last month they had some in Somerfield, so I got a couple of boxes in, but now I can't find any by me at all. Hopefully they're still doing them somewhere though

Sugar and salt content was deemed too high to meet acceptable EU standards for breakfast cereals apparently

Oh and forgot, they'd changed the name of Cinammon Grahams to Curiously Cinammon as well...

great original music,BMX,great new ideas(inventions),great saturday morning TV,great times(plus no hood rats)..........what did the 90's bring?...nothing new,just the same 80's inventions but only smaller!! And lightweight druggies thinking they could make music.
Makes me laugh at all the people that slagged off 80's fashion(and Mike R),but i see sooo many young people dressed in the stuff and with the same big hair in the clubs these days....i guess ALL things come full circle eventually!
