Our Civilisation Is Crumbling Around Me


Bit snowed under with work and life at the moment, but in the passing another key indicator for the demise of our civilisation has occurred. It's in my fridge at the moment.

I do not like chocolate very much, can't eat chocolate cake and only occasionally resort to a Cadbury's Fruit and Nut in the service station if I'm on a long drive and in need of calories.

But it has been my habit since time immemorial to have one Bendicks Bittermint with my coffee each evening after dinner.


Horror. The sophisticated white, green and gold packaging has been changed. Worse, I suspect the recipe itself has been jiggery-poked with, and the famous Bittermint is now a little ... sweeter.
It could be my imagination, but having just had my second from the box (research purposes), I don't think so.

The new. Ugh!


And I thought the end had come when they changed Marathon to Snickers ...
