No sound nice

Wouldn't be allowed though - crispy therefore make crumbs

Wonder if Orbit chewing gum is allowed

Wonder if chewy Starbrusts are allowed? They don't make Milky Ways like they used too! I love Crispy rolls 2!

chewy starbursts would reduce production
as soon as you have one, you just keep going

2 votes for Milky Way crispy rolls - looks like i will be buying some tomorrow

I have it on good authority that Flying Saucers have been banned too. The sherbet gets everywhere

[NEEMSTAR]

as we are on the topic of choc and sweets

i don't know if anyone will know these, but 'bout 7 years when i was in school these sweets came out called fini booms - little red sweets that were very sour at the start and then very sweet . people would go CRAZY for these at my school, you could get them for 10p each from the shop, but people would pay 50p and more just for one in school to get a "fix." lol they were amazing though

That is why they are doing this

Jim D'Avila of Unite told BBC News: "They've barred things like fruit or any product with a biscuit in it so it's got to the ludicrous state where a Mars bar is ok but a Twix bar, because it has a biscuit base, isn't allowed.

I have heard of Japaneese factory inspectors (quite rightly) checking factory workers pockets. Anything found in their pockets, may later be found in a product or product box.

But....if I was the Quality Director at Swindon, I would focus (no pun intended) on a few other things before the biscuit crumbs were top of my list.

Have they found the cause of the reported interior scratches ?

I think this one takes the biscuit - I'll also get my coat

You're quite right - Milky Ways are very different now. If you want the old Milky Way taste then buy a Flyte bar - they're exactly like Milky Ways used to be.

I have no problem at all with Honda doing this there is a bad enough perception of UK workers quality control as it is.

If the Sun or News of the World got hold of stories of sweet wrappers behind trim it give Honda a major headache. With comparisons to Chrysler in America when some owner found a half eaten Happy Meal lodged in his new car

I will tell you a wee story of when I was a small boy my Dad bought a new Ford Escort van for his business. Once I was alone in it I prized off the boss in the middle of the steering wheel and somebody had scratched behind it.

"you are a nosey ***** arn't you"

That could have happened nowhere else other than Dagenham or Hailwood.

Needless to say Ford only build engines in the UK now

Someone else who thinks that!!!! I loved them until I was about 7-8, then they changed the recipe (thats got to be about 93-94')., now they're horrible, compared to how they used to taste
