I've just rediscovered Bounty bars after over 60 years, they're indistinguishable to me after all that time.

Hello, I feel in such lovely company with all you lovelies. Bounty bars have always been my favourite, but contain loads of sugar, so I have to restrict my memories. Thank you for your sweet memory sharing. Please keep your memories coming.

As a child, did anyone else like Wagon Wheels?

I liked Wagon Wheels until started to appreciate quality over quantity. I realised that I didn't actually like marshmallow, despite the affordability of such a large snack. Tunnock's Teacakes went the same way. Bounty Bars are under threat because coconut has fallen out of favour with the young.

Another Bounty Bar lover here but I swear they have shrunk in size. Two is never enough for me. I have never eaten a Wagon Wheel. That's the first time I have heard comments about coconut and I like coconut slice.

I am surprised that Coconut is out of favour with the young. My grandaughter hs asked for some perfume for her 16th birthday called lait de coco, which apparently is perfumed like coconut. Perhaps they prefer to smell it rather than eat it !

Isn't it a popular ingredient in Thai curry? Perhaps it's popular with those who eat healthily but that's not compatible with Bounty? Or it could just be a rumour put about by the manufacturer to panic people to buy more?

It does translate as coconut milk which I do believe is in Thai food. I think the only coconuts we saw as kids were from the fair. Dad would drill a hole in it. As I said I don't like coconut anyway. There seems to be a lot of products based on coconut.
