Title: It’s obvious really
Post by: Bunny on August 20, 2005, 10:44:58 pm

If Nestle are re-launching Texan (although it was of course Rowntrees who last made it) of course Mars should re-launch Secret bars. They are missed at least as much as Texan.

And Cadburys should re-launch Frys Five Boys (they dont have to do much - it was ordinary chocolate with five boys on the wrapper).

I don't miss Secrets half as much as I miss Cabana. Why can't they chuck some cherries in a bounty and a layer of caramel. It would make me happy.

Well they could but you'd have to ask Mars to do that. It would be wonderful actually because there would be the milk and plain versions to enjoy.

They could call them Bounty Premium or something to reflect something has been added.

I was puzzled over this one. He who must be ignored assures me that Nestle actually made Secrets not Mars.

I will have a cabana too.

Oh well, I stand corrected. I could have sworn in was marketed under the Galaxy label. If it was Nestle they can keep it. They way they have adulterated my favourite bars over the years (Toffee Crisp, Lion Bar) indicates that even the long-awaited return of Texan may spell dissappointment.

Was that a deliberate spelling mistake Oldspice?  It worked rather well if so.

We're not ignoring him - he seems to be ignoring us!

Who is "he who must be ignored"? Are we talking about paulham?

I think it's a pun - a play on "she who must be obeyed" (was that Rumpole?).
