Title: A change for the better?
Post by: smurfboy on August 16, 2007, 02:58:34 pm: Following the discussion on old/new Milky Ways in the old products forum, I thought it might be interesting to see if anyone has actually preferred a chocolate bar after a change in recipe. I'm not talking variations - preferring a Wispa Gold to a regular Wispa doesn't count - I mean where the product is fundamentally the same thing, but something has been changed.

I'll start - I marginally prefer 'new' Milky Way.

I didn't even know they had! That's why I've always avoided them. Must put that one right.

Snickers are for Americans and the young.

I can think of changes to packaging which have been an improvement but I can't think of any products which taste better after they have been changed.

Anyone who still calls it a Marathon risks looking like a loony.

Sounds like you are buying a partly stifled laugh without a proper grasp of grammar.
I'll risk looking like a loony by saying Marathon.
Well, to be honest, I won't as I never buy that product as I don't like peanuts so I am finding my comments all rather irrelevant.
