I guess I type in invisible ink.

I gave a link to a picture of the Nestlé's triple decker bar last night.

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

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".

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".

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

Could it be an Aztec you are thinking of

Sharron

Sharron Report 30 May 2011 18:23

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.

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