    I got a twirl with only one bar in it. I returned it and got loads of free chocolate.

    Slightly off topic, but we got this Dubliner cheese once with a big mouldy patch on it, and it wasn't meant to be out of date until 2 weeks after the date we purchased it, we sent it back and then wrote back sayin it was open..... fu[kin' idiots we opened to use it only to find this big ugly green patch. We got a £5 voucher ok, big deal!

    Anyway, back on topic, I've never found anything unusual in chocolate!

    Warning - do not read if you're squeamish

    i once had a bad experience back when i was young ...

    i had a chocolate bar - brand P-nut, a generic chocolate bar which on the wrapper said something like "milk chocolate covered peanuts" and this thing was shaped like a peanut.

    so, i opened the wrapping and immediately started the bite off half of it. The chocolate tasted fine, but then i looked at the remaining half.

    the insides of the chocolate bar contained an alarming sight of white wiggly things - i believe they're maggots ... sickened, i vomitted and threw away the chocolate bar. it kept me off chocolate for a while ...

    i never found anything weird... except mybe a kitkat with no biscuity bit


    that happens to me quite a lot now that i think about it

    There was a news story a few years ago, a lady found a mouse head in her topic, or some bar. It was either a topic or mars


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 270 ✭✭Bass.exe


    Just the usual crap, Solid chocolate maltesers, Kit kat with no biscuit, After Eight with no mint.
    One time I got chocolate peanuts in a bag of chocolate raisins. But then again, the bag did warn "May contain traces of nuts"... hmmm it says that on this packet of peanuts... intriguing....

    last year, friends house, tesco value chocloate going around, open a new packet, a maggot lookin out at me! It was dead obviously,

    my friends grandad kept on saying
    "wow that is good Value! A bit of meat too"

    it was nasty though.

    I seem to have a knack for purchasing faulty bars of chocolate. And of course, I always send it back to Cadbury's. I reckon they know me by first name at this stage, hehe :D

    Got a Big box of Malteezers for my mother once, opened the box to be greeted with white mouldy hairballs, it was like something out of gremlins :D (cue gremlins music)
    Complained big time, needless to say we got a fair few large boxes of edible ones and other assorted goodies as a result.
