Nestle Vice Versas

Anyone remember these from 15 or so years back?

Well the good people at Nestle have re-released them!

But they aren't same, they taste totally different.

Very disappointing.

I remember these, must have been earlyish 90's for a guess, roughly the same time coke clear was out, think it was called tab clear, and also them foul tasting cans of Lipton ice tea.

Quite liked the old Vice Versa's though.

So what do they taste like now?

The chocolate in the dark centred ones is far more bitter than I remember. They also look less appealing. The shell is also very crunchy unlike before. Nestle have a history of disappointing the chocolate eating public, Smarties being a prime example. I used to really enthuse about the prospect of buying some smarties, with the different flavours. Orange ones tasted of orange, and so on. They even had a limited edition blue one introduced years ago, and the white ones had white chocolate inside them.

Now they are shit. I wouldn't even buy a tube if there was nothing else on offer.

It sucks being diabetic. Fond memories of chocolate pre-diagnosis. Mum used to give me £4 lunch money at high school. The school kitchen used to sell a lot of chips, pizzas, etc... I'd often have £2 left and would nip to the Newsagents at the top of Westlegate, next to a bar called Chandlers (this was mid 90's, Friends was very popular). Anyway, Smarties were a favourite, as were Wispa. Wispa gold were nice. Aniseed balls were good as well. And Lemon Sherberts. Then I'd go to my Grans and she would have made me banana custard.

Diabetic chocolate gives you the shits.

Pear drops for me, mmmmmmmmmmm although they do make your mouth go all sticky. What were those sweets called from about 30 years ago? They were like Opal Fruits/Starburst, all individually wrapped, green packaging white sweets, chewy, with a few green stripes on them and minty flavoured. Also, Fresh Mint Eggs pissed all over Cadbury's Creme Eggs, BRING THEM BACK!!!!

Spearmint Chews, they now have taken the green strip out of them for whatever reason.

£4 lunch money? Wonder what end of the social spectrum you are from?!! I got £2, and that was more than most other kids... Mind you If I was skint i'd get up at 7am and make a packed lunch on the sly, and just save the dinner money up so that I had a float for the arcades at the weekend....

luxury, i used to get a quid .

20 dorchester cigarettes were only 80p back then, meaning i only had to knock a few out at 10p each to turn my 20p change into enough to get sausage and chips at the local chippy and then have a game of guerilla(if you could fight your way through the crowd)
