Conversely...

Some things never change. Sandwiches in this case.
Back in my younger and more naive years when I was back in secondary school (Now mostly a thankful blur due to alcohol consumption - after I left I hasten to add) anyway, yes, secondary school.
I was a boarding school type, and every now and then we would go on trips to various interesting places, none of which have managed to stick in my mind, ah well.
But, it was on these school trips you could guarantee several things:

1) You would always get a 'bar six' chocolate bar in your packed lunch, the school had bought a job lot of a million of them I swear.
2) The sandwiches would be horrible mostly consisting of dubious ham and grated cheddar which had all the taste of a piece of cardboard and the consistency of a dry sponge.

Point 2 is the critical one here, at least for the purposes of this ramble.
I've just bought a sandwich from the company cafe and I swear my mouth has gone into time warp back to one of these trips, it tastes just the same.

Flashbacks like that I don't need.

Whatever happened to "bar six"? Has it gone the way of the "Tiffin" bar?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Probably, not that I miss it particularly.

Pacers, however, were ace.

Pacers.....I think I missed them

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Opal fruits, but mint flavour!

[whotheheckami.livejournal.com]

Nope - completely missed them...but what was the bubble gum with the puss juice inside them?

[scy11a.livejournal.com]

Spearmint flavour, no less.

PS Now you know how I feel having crew food inflicted upon me on a daily basis : /
