Title: Wagon Wheels
Post by: kevvosa on November 29, 2006, 09:23:38 pm
I bought a pack of jammy wagon wheels recently as I havent had any in a while. Is it just me or are they tiny now? It said on the pack "size matters"!

I said this last year. They are shrinking more every year. Size is important to me.

Waggon Wheels used to seem huge and they were a lovely treat as a child but they do seem to be small and rather cheap-tasting these days. Actually, i think they started to go downhill in the 70s.

Wagon wheels are definitely smaller now and don't taste as good as they used to

i remember the late 70's/early 80's when they lived up to their name (in relation to size.) theyre just tiny now, and dont taste like they used to.

I dread to think how bad they've got since then

The thing is, they've recently started using 'real' chocolate coating as before they used a 'chocolate flavoured' coating, so you would think they'd taste nicer.

The 'jam' in the middle was almost non existant too.

The jam in the wagon wheel ran away with the hump from the jaffa cake.

Was there ever a hump in jaffa cakes? I remember that the middle bit used to go almost right to the edge but now they've gone down hill.

They still have a bit of a hump but a while back the hump was definitely a hump in the middle.
