I don’t have a hugely sweet tooth but lately I’ve been really craving a Feast ice cream.
I’ve probably not eaten one since the 90’s btw!
The chocolate centre is about the third of the size than I remember, I wanted to feel very indulged with a naughty treat and it’s not even touched the sides!

I had a mint feast the other day - was lovely.

I also love nobbly bobblys

OohMavis · 30/05/2018 21:27

It isn't real chocolate anymore.

They're SHIT.

I had caramac buttons from Poundland this week! Was so excited but they weren’t nearly as nice as the bar that I remember. They were just really sickly and didn’t have that nice slightly crumbly texture I remember ☹️

I lover funny feet. Were they strawberry flavoured do you think?

A couple of years ago l bought a tube of Parma Violets. l used to love them when l was younger.
They were disgusting. l had about four then slung them in the bin! :(

I wanted a feast the other day so added them to my online shop. They substituted them for some Cadbury’s shit. So I went to petrol station with DH to buy one and they had none left. Sad They can’t do this to a pregnant woman. I just want a feast 😭😭😭😭

@StealthPolarBear I was gonna mention funny feet!
Do the toes still have chocolate on them?

FASH84 · 30/05/2018 21:34

I had one last week , haven't had one for years. So disappointing! Ice cream was icy and not very chocolatey and the bit in the middle was tiny. I think chocolate was just worse in the eighties so by comparison now a feast isn't the delight it once was

Hassled · 30/05/2018 21:34

Tomorrow is officially Caramac Buying Day :o

FASH84 · 30/05/2018 21:36

Funny feet and zaps!!! Kids today have no idea what they're missing

Binkybix · 30/05/2018 21:41

I also had a zap the other day. That was great too - maybe I have low standards.

ThomasHardyPerennial · 30/05/2018 21:42

I would be so happy to find Zzapp ice lollies again. They were amazing!

Lovemusic33 · 30/05/2018 21:43

Not a fan of feasts, I have just eaten a toffee crumble (reminds me of my childhood).

Cantusethatname · 30/05/2018 21:50

I used to love butterscotch Angel Delight and haven't had it since about 1980. I wonder if that would be a let down?

TheFirstMrsOsmond · 30/05/2018 21:51

Coconut Magnums Lilacwine1????

I am obsessed with the raspberry ones but I bloody love coconut - how come I've not seen those in the shops? Are they new this year?

ManInTheMoonMarigold · 30/05/2018 21:56

I think Caramacs taste much the same but aren't as creamy and crumbly as they used to be. It's like eating sweet flavoured plastic now. The buttons are a bit better than the bars.

DarkDarkNight · 30/05/2018 21:58

Oh no I love a feast, mmm frozen chocolate.

Mars Ice Cream are my absolute favourite.

PretendNothing · 30/05/2018 22:00

I loved a Twister! They seem tiny now, but maybe I'm just bigger...

DailyMailFail101 · 30/05/2018 22:07

A feast is not longer a ‘feast’ it’s a snack.

KittenBeast · 30/05/2018 22:09

Still love a feast. Anyone had a Penguin bar recently? they're the size of postage stamps.

PeppermintPasty · 30/05/2018 22:09

Ah Caramac...my dear old dad always bought me a Caramac bar.

And my two children adore Nobbly Bobblys. They were utterly shocked when my ds (11) had a friend round for tea and HE HAS NEVER EATEN A NOBBLY BOBBLY MUM!!

Kids these days..

Anyway, I am old and loved an Orange Maid. Anyone else remember them? You just can't get a decent Orange lolly any more. Callippos are just too icy.

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 30/05/2018 22:09

Once you've had a Magnum, a Feast is nothing.

Totally agree.

PeppermintPasty · 30/05/2018 22:10

On these threads no one ever remembers Spangles or Trebor Blobs. They were the best sweets ever.

Curlywurlywurly · 30/05/2018 22:10

NobbyBobbly is far superior to a Feast imo.

I may have a slight addiction no, I'm not pregnant. Grin

PeppermintPasty · 30/05/2018 22:11

Magnums are a bit sickly though. And they are the Johnny-come-lately of the ice cream world
