Most underrated confectionery or packaged snack?

    Just sitting here enjoying a hot beverage and a Topic.

    A fine fine piece of confectionery that, if I may say, gets a hard time of it when it comes to consumer choice.

    Regularly it gets ignored by the sheep eating hoards who choose the same old Twix or Kit Kat to satisfy their snack hunger pangs.

    The Topic contains lashings of milk chocolate, a fine serving of roasted hazelnuts that are surround by nougat. This in itself would be enough to make a delicious treat but no, there is also the orgasam inducing caramel that perfectly compliments the hazelnuts.

    Biting into a Topic makes you feel alive again, like maybe someday your dreams will come true. It's a chocolate bar full of hope, a bar that gives that lift that we all so very much need in today's troubled time.

    I'd love to be able to add a YouTube video here of a Topic commercial but alas, it's not be. Being underrated and under-appreciated tends to have the effect of your Adverts not being celebrated by the masses.

    Long live The Topic, a chocolate bar that keeps it's head held high and never indulges in self pity. A bar that would much rather be loved by the few people who appreciate uniqueness, than just liked by commonalty.

    Long live The Topic.

    So, which confectionery or packaged snack do you feel is savagely underrated?

    I have to say I completely agree with you. I adore Topics but don't think I've EVER seen anyone but me eating them. They're the perfect size as well - a little smaller than your average Mars or Snickers which, quite frankly, can be a bit sickening (although is it just me or have they made these smaller now? Think it might be something to do with reducing their scary calorie content which is now emblazoned on the front).

    I once heard a story about a mouse's head being found in a Topic bar but I can't see how it would have fit, unless it was a baby mouse. I'm still willing to take the risk for the sake of it's hazelnut-ty and nougat goodness.

    Eww, Topics are the one bar i can not stand! Starbars disappeared for a while but they're back now and are yum. Don't hear much about them either.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Love the Yorkies with the raisins in them.
    Very under-rated. Yum.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 959 ✭✭✭changes


    The Starbar is a seriously tasty bar of chocolate.... and i agree about th topic very nice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 188 ✭✭eddie the eagle


    Telex bars


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,114 ✭✭✭corkcomp

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins

    After Hours -> Snacks/Sweets


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    Jelly tots.

    Turkish delight is delish, haven't had one in about 15 years mind. Also like Caramac.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    Ahh ffs why was this thread moved???

    It's a tongue in cheek After Hours thread.

    King vs Tayto ring any bells?

    Why not move all the fucking Muslim threads to Politics if specific content is the new rule?

    The locking and moving of threads is starting to piss people off and needs to stop.

    Moderating threads for the sake of Moderation.

    Moving threads that shouldn't be moved.

    I don't think some of you over there know what After Hours is about.
