They look smaller because you're bigger, unless you're a dwarf in which case I apologise.

This is about halfway down on the answers, seems someone emailed them about it

I emailed Cadburys about Curly Wurlys several months ago. They said that they were made smaller in the 80s (about 20% smaller I believe) but that the price was adjusted accordingly at the time.

Never been a fan. Never actually been a fan of any chewy caramel based bars. The best 'old school' bar that I had recently was Double Decker.

I'm currently munching my way through the catchily named "Butlins, Minehead, Somerset TA24 5SH bar". Someone brought it back from All Tomorrow's Parties.

Just like a Jenners of Edinburgh chocolate bar, if anybody knows them.

Didn't Terry Scott dress up as a schoolboy and advertise them back in the 70's.

Yes they are smaller
