Cool Wagon Wheels

Have they got smaller, or is it because we are bigger? I think THEY have gotten smaller. Definitely!

Whats the general consensus for this important subject?

Wagon Wheels have got smaller! They used to be huge a number of years ago.

No they have got smaller, it started years back when they were going to have to raise the price.
The firm decided kids wouldn't buy them if they increased the price, so they made the biscuits smaller instead, they did that a couple of times.
My dad designed the machines that made the biscuits, so I used to get all the prototypes and new flavours. They used to try out loads of flavours, butterscotch wagon wheels were brill, and the coffee ones too. They stopped making all the different flavours though.

Oh such memories.
Yup they definitely have got smaller. They used to have this cartoon pict on the front depicting a wagon train being attacked by Indians, and one cowboy saying to another "Lets get outta here, pronto"
Funny how little things stick in your mind (as my G/F keeps telling me)
