They both taste like boredom - where's the nuts, chewy bits, honeycomb etc?! Alright wind it in Little Lord Fauntleroy. It's got BUBBLES. But the bubbles are an absence of chocolate, bloody Brexit ps I started from page one |

Due to this thread I really want a Double Decker! I looked them up on amazon japan, and I can get one for 2 pounds 60. I was desperate enough to actually consider it, but then I realised the postage was 13 quid.  Only one 2 star review from a Japanese person. But he basically says 'tastes great, but melts at room temperature'.  Which is of course true because room temperature here is 300C. |

Magnums have gotten smaller right? I don't have some horrible swollen hand disease.

'Twas very nice.
They have several of these bars available, most of which have loads of *stuff* in there alongside the chocolate, but - as stated previously - I prefer my chocolate plain nowadays. ('Plain' as in, 'unadulterated', not 'dark.')
Not cheap at £3 per bar, but worth the asking price in my view.

I had a bar of Whole Nut yesterday and I noticed that it tasted distinctly different and was smaller than the UK version I used to buy in Andorra. Like the individual tabs are tiny as fuck but it's still expensive and for the same price in Euros I would get more. What a swizz.

I've squarely settled on Snickers and Galaxy Caramel as my go-to chocolate.
I'm quite thankful to live in the UK as we actually have food standards, such as a minimum of 20% milk solids in our milk chocolate. I assume Europe has similar standards.
I recently watched a vid of an American eating a UK Snickers and he couldn't believe how good it all tasted. Even the peanuts were better.

It’s pricey to fuck, but thanks to being a £5 meal option I can highly recommend the Chocolonely Salted Caramel. Even though the kooky way they segment the bar is basically an invitation to break your teeth on it.

A standard present for children on the American side of our families is basically a ram-raid of a Londis. Just load up on cadbury's, toffee crisps, proper mars bars etc. Then load in as many insane crisp flavours as possible. You can get so much kudos for a bag of nice and spicy nik naks. |

One thing I never get tired of is YouTube videos of Americans trying Irn Bru for the first time. “WHAT IS THIS???” Still trying to work that out for ourselves, pal.

Cheese toastie Walkers… well that’s something I need in my life.
A new snack of choice for me is a cheese toastie whacked in the air fryer with a dollop of Naga hot sauce. How it’s getting colder I might pair it up with a bowl of tomato soup.

Nobbly Bobblys! Big fuck off 60 gram purple bag too! |

like many things from childhood (collecting worms, pretending to be a dinosaur, playing with transformers) they're not quite as much fun 40 years later

Gold Bars fall into this loved as a child category too, although doubtless the recipe will be changed. Unbelievably sweet and for some reason they give me almost immediate acid reflux.
I’ll review Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations, which I had last night. 9/10. Chunky but with popping candy - but this isn’t the sell - it’s the big chewy raspberry jelly pieces in it. Absolutely awesome taste and texture combo with the choccy.
