Triple Decker does sound right to me, I used to love them and could eat one now. x

Aztec was like a Mars bar with something missing. There was similar thing with raisins in for a short time too and that was truly horrible. Even I wouldn't eat it and I would eat anything that fitted in my mouth!

Sandwich bar sounds about right but I don't think Frys ever had vending machines on stations.But,then again, probably not much of what I am remembering is acurate. Probably you should discount most of my clues,I think we have the answer.
Thank you Badger.

Frys Chocolate Cream,go on spoil yourself.

Forgive me, but that's funny. ;)

I just "got" what it reminded me of.

I'm not the only one who has mentioned this one as an example of how badly we've mispronounced words to ourselves in our own heads:

misled

as in "missulled". :D

In England it was always pronounced "nessuls" - even on the TV adverts.

Now more recently since Nestle took over Rowntrees and we have had new adverts they always pronounce it "ness-lay".

Australian.


Now here's my question.

Did/do people actually pronounce Nestlé's "nessuls"??

Where I'm at, it's more or less "nesslies", or these days, "nesslie".

The Triple Decker Bar and the Triple Bar were probably the same thing Janey but they were packaged quite differently.

Have you looked at the advert on YouTube Sharron? The Triple Bar DOES have the white chocolate in the middle. In fact it says dark chocolate on the bottom, milk chocolate on the top and milky bar in the middle.

I'm sure that's the bar that I remember.

In Oz we used to call it Triple Deck or something like that. It had dark chocolate on t he bottom, milk in the middle and white chocolate on top. Being a reformed chocoholic I can not recall if we still have them. Next time I go shopping I will put a peg on my nose and run very quickly through the confectionery aisle and take a look for you.

See my mouth is watering!! It's all your fault.

From looking on the internet it seems Alpine was white chocolate, like a grown ups Milky Bar.
