I thought they stopped making Violet Crumbles years ago, hard to believe enough people buy them to keep them alive.

True, I'd never contemplate ever buying a Crunchie outside of Favourites (same for Moro, which would come a long way behind a Mars Bar, Whip, etc.). As a standalone bar in a competitive market they can't sell well, other than monopolising the market of hard honeycomb fiends.
In today's day and age, if resorting to a chocolate bar you are probably hungry and well in-between meals, so something like a Mars, Snickers, Boost or Picnic will catch the eye, maybe a Europe Nougat or Honey Log bar, or alternatively a Cherry Ripe or Turkish Delight or the like as a luxury. I've never had a Crunchie/VC craving in my life, I'd sooner pick something flimsy like a Flake or Aero over that lot.
Personally, I'd much rather something like a Carmans muesli bar.

Violet Crumble and Crunchie are both shit. My mum used to buy 'fun size' bags of them, I suspect in part because I'd only take a couple while she watched Friends or Charmed or something equally awful.
You can buy every bar said in this thread for $1 or $1.50 at Coles. They're all bogan food.

Twix and Twirl are good. Snickers and Mars are okay. If it's a workday I eat the biscuits in the staff room for free.

A younger Swamp would have made an Afterworld fat joke rn.
But I'm a bigger and better person these days so I'll let it go.

Nothing you can buy in every Coles in Australia is "luxurious".

Mix the honeycomb from Violet Crumble with the chocolate from a Crunchie and you'd really be onto something.

Violet Crumbles are the bomb. Definitely better than Crunchie, and one of the all time great showbags at the Royal Adelaide Show.

Poes law etc
Oh and you can get people to change their mind on stuff depending on where the hive mind leads I guess, although I cbf providing evidence.
