Just had a Mars Bar and it was disappointing

Lots of foods don't taste as good these days but then I guess the processes used to make the stuff have changed and profit margines have gotten tighter, so substitutes are found which are cheaper to buy

I had a Marathon the other day, didn't taste like what they used to.

POSSIBLY, due to the fact it had marathon written on it and was about 20 years out of date, apparently they are called snickers now

Ringos are still kicking about somewhere I'm sure, it was only a year or two ago I last bought a multipack. They have deffo changed though, and for the worse IMO, only way I can describe it they used to be smooth and now are like the texture of the onion rings crisps you get, and aren't nearly as nice.

Twat off!
Leave Leicester out of it, we bloody well INVENTED crisps*, so back the fook off, and put the spud-gun down

They used to be made by Golden Wonder, and maybe they are made by Walkers now, (incidentally, both Leicester firms) dunno. Would perhaps explain the ridiclous change

Bastardo Crisp Meddlers. Boil them in Oil. (unsaturated sunflower oil for that light golden taste....)
