When I was at Longton High in the 90’s I’d go to the shop and get a hot Wrights meat and potato pie (when they were decent) a can of cherry coke and a caramac most lunch times

I agree with mayo ...awful stuff I think sitting next to a kid at school who had salad cream or sandwich spread sandwiches every day didn't help. Sandwich spread was like a tinned coleslaw that looked like a kitten on heroin had puked up |

I don’t mind dipping chips in mayo but then if you leave the remnants overnight, the next morning it resembles an alien foetus and looks like it’s started growing arms and legs. I dread to think what goes on in the stomach as it awaits dispersal into the the bathroom bin👀 |

Let’s say they were 2k each, a drop in the ocean for the company I’m dealing with. They came back with “ I’ve just been to China, they’ve drawn up and priced exactly the same for £400”, how do you compete with that? Although in my vast experience it’ll turn up and be either nowt like what they asked for or appalling quality. Some of the manufactured stuff I’ve received from China is, at best, utter shite |

That and Lemon curd sandwiches. Didn't realise Sandwich spread was still a thing. Toast Toppers were another one that looked as bad as it tasted. Puke looking food was the rage |

I honestly can say I've ever heard of Caramac until I saw them on the evening news last night. It went from the fighting in Gaza to the end of Caramac which was pretty crazy I must say.

I don't have a sweet tooth, so there isn't much in the way of confectionery I'd miss if it disappeared forever. A decent bar of dark chocolate is all I'll ever need. I found Caramac to be particularly unpleasant; it can fuck off and take Milky Bar with it. |

Even worse would be the offspring of Caramac and Turkish Delight. The Spawn of Sweetshop Satan. |
