Dark chocolate all the fucking way. You absolute heathens!
You've just reminded me that I've got a pack of dark choco Leibniz to get stuck into.

Somehow I'd completely missed this thread, but I can't believe it took till page 3 for more than a passing mention of the mighty Double Decker, easily the greatest of all time (Drifters a close second). It's disappointing the general public have such bad taste, making them harder to find (at least in multipack) then the rest of the Cadbury's line-up. And even worse, they cancelled the greatest bagged bit-size chocolate cinema treat - Dinky Deckers. I'll never forget going on a work trip and having to be at the airport at 7am. I don't like airports and I am not good in the morning, so I was more than a little irate. A colleague (good friend, knew me well) bought me a bag of them and handed them just before we went through security. It put such a smile on my face and spring in my step it made everything more bearable. Fast forward a few years, she made me a cake for my birthday ( Nigella's Chocolate Guinness) and decorated it with chopped up Double Decker bars (the Dinky's having been discontinued) - the message was "Happy Birthday Twat". We got together that night and two years things couldn't be better. So yes, Double Deckers are the king of chocolate bars, and the route to romance. |

When I was growing up I felt like I was alone in liking Double Deckers.
One of the positive points of the internet that doesn't get talked about enough is the way it allows people who previously felt isolated and alone to connect with like minded people all around the world and realise that they're not so different after all.

Unwisely selected a white chocolate Lion Bar today. If you want to know what sacrilege tastes like, give it a go.

I really like the knock off Twix in Aldi. Can't remember what they're called.

Had to change shopping habits and not visiting Lidl as much. Very much missing the twix knock offs. And the Lilt knock offs, which Tesco don't do (they don't even do Lilt in cans). Not happy.

I'm not allowed to shop at Aldi/Lidl. When I say not allowed.. more that I can't be arsed to do separate shops, because my partner doesn't like Aldi/Lidl food  |

If time is money and I subtract the amount of utterly wasted time spent wandering down the middle aisle waiting for my other half to catch up, it'd be cheaper to shop at Tesco and the like.

I don’t mind Aldi / Lidl for non-perishable stuff but their fresh meat is arse. It’s like the animals could see where they were going to end up and proceeded to make themselves as tough and stringy as possible.

It’s like the animals could see where they were going to end up and proceeded to make themselves as tough and stringy as possible. Disagree, always found their chicken in particular streets ahead of Tescos and Sainos. Fresh fruit and veg nicer too. Where they don't fare as well is in some of the ready meals/jars etc - haven't tried many but their own brand pesto for example is horrific. And gravy. |

Lidl is good for steak. They used to do a large thick cut rump that was amazing.
