Caramac

[Dave7]

I used to love Caramac. I haven't had one for must be 50 plus years and like everything I daresay they got smaller, more expensive and didn't taste the same just like most things these days.

Funny you should say that. As I got older some things definitely seemed smaller

Not to high jack the OPs thread but who remembers Cadburys Bar 6. To me they were nicer than KitKats but were phased out.

Do you recall having Wagon Wheels when they were about 2 feet diameter (well they seemed like that anyway).

Curly Wurlys were three feet long.

And 12" records were....... errr! 😂

Belly getting bigger?

I used to occasionally go shopping for my aunt when I was little and I usually got 3d to spend so quite often bought a bar of Caramac. Never tried them in latter years though but I suspect like wiggydiggy says, they were nothing like the originals.

I thought Caramac was the the ferry company that Old Wheels has problems re breakdowns and time tables ⛴⛴⛴

Nay, they were the size of tractor wheels and could feed a small village in Africa for a week! 😆

Definitely shrunk by 5mm diameter in the 1980s and by 4g since 2006

I used to eat them occasionally, but like Dime Bars (or is it 'Daim' now?), they were just too sweet and not something to be consumed in the long - run.

Oh!! National SCANDAL!!

They were so big that Heathrow used to use them as tyres for '747s'!

 

[Dayvo]

I did like them, but then again I liked ALL the chocolate bars that were around late ‘60s-mid ‘70s.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Was always the first from a selection box to be eaten, quickly followed by something else to take the taste away.

Used to love caramac a kid but probably not had one for 50 years.

I'm sure there was a short time when you could get caramac chocolate digestives, or maybe I'm imagining that one.

Also seem to remember a pink version

I remember using a few gold Caramac wrappers to cover a shape of the Jules Rimet World Cup trophy (junior school project) I'd cut out of cardboard, for the 1970 World Cup finals in Mexico, in 1970.⚽

Last time I had a caramac I was probably doing my paper round.
