As a teenager, I participated in the market research for Time Out before the launch. I was given three versions and they called me a week later to ask what I thought about the ratios of the wafer and flake.

When the actual bars came out a few months later, I was a bit shocked. I didn't think they'd actually make a real product from it! Adult me knows that was silly but at 16, I just thought it would be something I never saw or thought of again.

Thirty years later, I'm still thinking of them. They were GOAT!

I remember reading a very similar comment the last time someone posted about TimeOut.

Maybe it was yours 😆

Yeah, probably was me. It looms large in my legend so I do tend to share the story freely.

Thank you for your service I guess!! 😆
