double deckers are the forgotten chocolate. Me and my mate went on a mission to get them popular again by eating at least 2 or 3 every day whilst we were in the first year at college 2001. Then out of nowhere there was an advert for double decker, I'd never seen one before or since, and we felt like our money increased their revenue and they got more popular. The end!

I think that nowadays, companies like Cadbury think that sponsorship of programmes is miore lucrative than actually making adverts.

It's probably true. If there's a new bar out, like the Creme Egg bar, you get advertising, but otherwise you're telling people about products they already know.

Not necessarily.  When Kelloggs started advertising Corn Flakes ("Have you forgotten how good they taste" or whatever it was) it was extremely successful and I think most people were already aware they existed.

But that was a good 15 years ago. Oldspice said 'nowadays'. Do try and keep up GC.

I know the Raisins have gone but either i've seriously damaged my brain
through drink and other naughty things,or Double Deckers were completely
different when I was a kid to what they are now.
There wasn't as much of that nougaty milky way stuff and also,if I'm not
mistaken,the cereal was cornflake based and not Rice Krispies.Am I
correct,or totally insane?

I don't think they were cornflakes but I may be wrong and you may not be insane
