GarethRDR Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Dafuq happened to full size Twisters? I can only seem to find the mini-ones these days and they're gash. Proper Twisters are the perfect combo of ice-cream and ice-lolly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what you’re getting into when you buy them. With the Magnums they were shrunk down without warning for a multipack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, having not purchased a Magnum for god knows how long I am not sure if bigger sizes are available in shops/garages etc. Or if they've all shrank completely?

Full size ones definitely available too. Its like when you pick up the 4 pack of Mars bars for a quid thinking you’ve got a bargain then you open it and realise they are about 60% of a regular bar (still decent value though tbf). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's supermarkets for you. They're arseholes for it. Hence @GarethRDR post above about mini twisters. I found out recently that supermarkets can choose different sizes from manufacturers for multi packs. So for example a pack of 4 Mars bars from Tesco might be a totally different size to a 4 pack from Sainsburys. Same with things like Cornettos. I purchased a 4 pack of Toffee Crisps recently without paying much attention and they were about the size of those old fun size Mars bars, about half the size of what they usually were, same price mind. Have Solero's dissappeared? Haven't seen any for a couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 'FUN' FACT! The name Häagen-Dazs is not a name, and does not mean anything in any language. The name was chosen by the initial founders - a New York Jewish couple - as a tribute to Denmark's treatment of Jews during WWII, because they thought it sounded Danish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted July 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2021 Well everyone seems to hate Ben & Jerry's. Their 'Netflix & Chill'd' is **** amazing. Also agree on the Biscoff beasts on sticks. Amazing. Also not a fan of Mars bars but Mars ice creams are the tits. Can't only have one though because they're tiny.
