To add to the debate of the shrinking Wagon Wheel. Does anyone remember them having jam mixed in with the psuedo cream? They definitely don't now.

Wagon wheels were much bigger when I was little, and that's not just my imagination. I swear they tasted different too. Haven't had one for a while now, but for the sake of research I'd be happy to partake.

do you think perhaps that in your 30s you start to get wistful and nostalgic about how things used to be in your childhood, while in your forties you start to get righteously outraged at what's gone wrong in the world since then??? :lol:

You can get two kinds of Wagon Wheel, the ones with jam are in a blue packet the others are red.
