What was absolutely, undisputedly better in The Old Days?

[Pickles89]

Back when you were young, or even before that?

I'm going to kick off with Beany Babies. The realistic style 90's ones were so much nicer than the massive eyed/sparkly/rainbow coloured monstrosities of today.

Your turn!

Sex. Was brilliant 30 years ago. Last few cocks I’ve encountered have made me wish I’d had a cup of Horlicks instead.

Delayed gratification. There was much more to wait for. Phone calls, meet ups, favourite TV shows etc. Everything is on demand now, which means you lose those delicious moments of anticipation.

The size of a snickers bar
I had one the other day and it seemed minute compared to what I remember as a slab of gooey, peanutty goodness as a child.

Cream eggs were bigger. And they had praline in the Quality Street. And pop was a luxury so we only had coke at Christmas and on holiday - such a treat. And fruit was seasonal so only peaches and strawberries in June. And not very often. Mum used to come home with a brown bag with peaches in. So exciting. We probably had 2 a year. Always so sweet and juicy.

Topshop!!

Shoe shops - even the smell of them was amazing and the assistants measured your feet.
Trains - definitely better when they had individual compartments.
Yoghurt - somehow it tasted a million times better than it does now.
Twix - I swear that they tasted like millionaire's shortbread when I was a child.

Wagon Wheels and Tins of Quality Street, they both use to be huge unlike todays poor offerings.

Driving around in the south east without the absolute crush on our roads it's absolutely insane now.
