I can remember when they were 2d

There are many examples of the chocolate makers selling you 'air' and making it sound special because the bars are bigger.

I see the Toblerone Bar has been subject to... modification over the years

How about Aero, more bubbles than chocolate.

I hate the bubbles in Aero so I just eat the chocolate and leave the bubbles.

There is a sugar-free version of Polo Mints. There is however a warning: "for some people, especially children, excessive consumption may produce laxative effects". Dave
