    The inneresting thing in all this, as Nige pointed out, is that no matter what I had chosen, disappointment was bound to follow since it's not just the comparative quantities and dimensions of so called retro confectionery relative to its heyday equivalent that disappoints but also shortcomings in flavour and texture owing to differences in the composition of many of these sweet foodstuffs. ...
    You could always go back to the good old days you crave, by taking a pinch of arsenic or powdered lead with each sweet!

      There are all sorts of nasty chemicals involved in various forms of food processing.

      You should see what they use in the process of coffee bean decaffeination. Ditto white sugar refining. And if you saw how they made spray dried milk powder, you'd never reach for a jar of coffee mate ever again (I actually visited the site of the largest spray drying plant in Europe a few months ago so I know what I'm talking about).

      Then there's all the cyandie in apple pips that gets in your cider; no wonder cider drinkers have such bulbous noses.

            The rifle range at the fun fair.

            I'm sure they've adopted an "everyone's a winner" policy. You can't miss.

            Same with the one where you hook the plastic duck.

            The waltzers, however, are definitely NOT a quimbyism. Glad I had an emty stomach
