I couldn't be more of a city boy. Is your assumption based on the premise that only country people eat Tayto crisps? The crisp from Coolock. Really? Was that it? Or maybe it's cause of the milk...sure only country people drink milk

Yeah, that was some chocolate bar. Do you remember a few years ago when they brought wispas back, then took them away again just as quickly? That was cruel. My friend went to a cash & carry and bought a box of them in case of emergency.

Not a fan of the wispa gold/mint phase. Or minature bars like the tiny dairy milks, you need about three of them otherwise you're just teasing yourself. I can't believe toblerone hasn't been mentioned :eek:

oh yes!! was in college, just starting then, and we were all in the college shop there and just looked at each other like :eek: and almost bought the shop out of them lol

oh and toblerone, love it! reminds me of xmas, easter or mothers day as i always got my mam one when i was small!

In the latter years, yes. It was more cartoons for girls with speech bubbles to tell the stories, some of which were ongoing. All about growing up, harnessing your talents, finding true friendship, being confident. Boys were only a backdrop really.

:eek::eek: really?! me too, but i moved a good bit when i was younger that i lost or sold or had to throw some out (sooooo regret that)

if your ever selling il buy your buntys or m&js off you! lol

The cheap pralines that are shaped like shellfish that you get in Lidl. €2 or something for a box. How so cheap? For such deliciousness?

What makes a good chocolate bar? Chocolate - or, to be specific, a high cocoa content. Typical milk chocolate is in the 20-30% range, dark chocolate in the 40-50% range, but that's not enough for me. Lindt 70% is a good place to start, they make an 85% bar too, but I'm determined to find their Excellence 99% bar somewhere. :eek:

Hmm...I'd imagine ebay, everything's on there. I didn't buy it, my weekly pocket money budget wouldn't stretch to cover that

Your favourite type of chocolate + your favourite filling* = a good chocolate bar.

* = filling is optional

It's rotten. Like biting into chcolate flavoured sand or something. I have 3/4 of a bar lying in my kitchen press for the last six months if you want it

Are you sure you're not mixing Lindt up with "Lint" - we've already had this conversation Pickarooney - the two are not interchangeable.

I like a bit of a challenge. Try eating the biscuit from a twix before eating the caramel and not getting chocolate and crumbs in your keyboard and all over your desk!

I like the sound of that. Tell me, is it better to eat the sides off before dealing with the biscuit part?
