Funnily enough, or not as the case may be, as this story isn’t amusing in the slightest......but Burtons have their magic biscuit making factory just along from where I work, and they happen to sell reject foodstuffs at a fraction of normal retail price.

Haven’t tried Wagon Wheel rejects yet, which I imagine are square or contain pieces of actual tyre, but their other offerings haven’t been too bad. Wagons were, and still are, a top biccy and one of my favourites. Second to only Blue Riband, which ming, but were the only biscuit my nan ever had so I still hold them in high regard.

If the shops were still open I’d almost be compelled to buy some now, but they aint, so I wont....... :/

Not only did they reduce the Wagon wheels to a ridiculously small size they also dropped the packet size down to a pants 6. Wagon wheels ain't the powerhouse it used to be I tell ya.

still available from tesco and asda. never keen on them myself.

last ones i tried had a kinda funny taste, like slighty farmhouse cheese, that slight cowpat flavour weird.

My missus loves wagon wheels, I cant stand them since the changed the biscuit to a chocolate one and reduced the size.

kitten_caboodle · 13 Oct 2007 at 12:40

it's like curly wurlys. I swear they used to be longer

Or I used to be smaller.

gumbald · 13 Oct 2007 at 12:50

They're not the same now. Maybe the size is affecting the taste...

Thats true - but then the same said could be said for the majority of sweets from our youths that have survived, they've all shrunk

azzerz · 13 Oct 2007 at 13:39

cadbury mini egg has shrunk too

Actually come to think of it now they are half the size they must be half the fat so in theory you can have twice as much! Shame they aint half the price.

Everything shrinks with age
