You still get Dime bars but they are called Daim for some reason.

True enough loon. Canna understand why they felt the need to change its name. A bit like Opalfruits being called Starburst and Marathon becoming Snickers. Absolutely pointless.

No difference in either of the products whatsoever. Strange times. The use of the words Opal, Dime, and Marathon must have offended the masses, hence the unnecessary need for change by the confectioners ?.

Bazooka Joe bubble gum.  Aye, wi the wee cartoon strip inside on the waxy paper.

Was that the bubble gum that came with a lick-the-back-of-your-hand transfer in the packet? ?

Aye, I think you're right.  I'd forgotten about that.  Wee boy tattoos?
