I have just had a Creme egg and had to wait until there was no-one nearby so I could indulge in it fully. It was NUMMY. I had forgotten just how much. I may have to eat some more quite soon.....

I almost bought a Double Decker instead but the wrapper says 'BIG UP TOP!' on it and I thought oh dear it might make my breasts grow or something so went for the Creme egg option instead.

Old wispa's used to be not as bubbly.

― Jonnie, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Mmm. I remember when Wispas came out and my grandma (who was a BIG Aero fan) said 'they taste like having a mouthful of flour' and I could see just what she meant and have hardly eaten any Wispas since. Only in emergencies.

Do creme eggs make for man-boobs then?

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Liasons and Cadbury's Marble are the best in my world. Let them eat praline.

Do you mean Double Deckers Alan? Creme eggs made no body part- enhancing claims so I deemed it safe to eat one. God it was nice. Why don't they sell them in our canteen?

― Emma, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

yes. duh me.

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well in that case I dare the menfolk of ILE to go and scoff Double Deckers and see if they become 'big up top'.

― Emma, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

now I see my downfall.

― chris, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

The plastic surgery industry will go down the tubes now Science has discovered that Double Deckers give you big breasts.

― Emma, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

If you carry on eating double deckers you'll be the one snaring sex tourists in a short time as opposed to the other way round Chris.

― Jonnie, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

me love you long time

― chris, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Boobboosts aren't technically plastic surgery, are they?

― N., Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Cosmetic surgery then. WHATEVER. The sun is shining, stop being such a pedant.

― Emma, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I don't know what has brought on this latest bout. It's odd. You're right, the sun is shining. Let's dance.

― N., Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

poor windowless me. pity me, now.

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I would think that eating enough Double Deckers would make you big up top, down low, and all around the middle, unless you make a habit of sleeping in a centrifuge.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My marble bar has melted whilst I was in a meeting!

― Jonnie, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Boobboosts. Mmms, Boost bars. I miss the coconut one.

― Ellie, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh, give me strength, or some form of Lindt.

Nick and Emma may boil in anger but I Am Chocolate Princess of ILX. I know this is true because whenever I eat GOOD chocolate, it makes me SNEEZE. BAD chocolate DOES NOT produce a sneeze. This is not an allergy, it is quality control, y'all.

One year I volunteered to test the holiday choc ranges for the Observer. So I called up all the chains and got them to send in (cough, BIKE OVER) the free samples. By the end of the free samples I was in the middle of a crying jag on the floor somewhere on the 4th level of the graniaud building because, apart from the Thorntons and Godiva, all were RUBBISH.

...and in America, they pronounce NOUGAT 'knew-get'. Otherwise you get a NOUGIE for being poncey.

I Am Chocolate Princess of ILX.

Bah! Wouldn't you rather be the Fairy Queen?

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

D'oh, Ned: any really stylin' monarch has MANY titles.

― suzy, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Fair enough. *swans off in Emperor-of-the-Universe robes*

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I know this won't get read but, anyway:

"When They're Gone, They're Gone" says the White Chunky Kit Kat slogan: its a limited edition (albeit of several million). So stock up now. Its currently the fastest selling confectionery item in our machines.

Tom said: There should be an essay on the quest for a viable bar that uses white chocolate. Milky Bar has had the field to itself forever and is very unimaginative. Have you tried the Nestlé Crunch White? Maybe too much like melted Milky Bars with Rice Krispies in for you.

― David, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

ooh yes, a little oversweet but reminded me of the old crunch bar I used to have years ago, which may have been foreign nestle even, but nice.

Suzy, it's not about quality, it's about sugar and texture and the quick sweet fix, sure you can have godiva or posh 70% cocoa solids but that's just missing the point when you're sat at your desk when all you need is some thick, sweet chocolatey mush in your mouth.

― chris at home, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Cherry Ripe Rox0rs and so does Aero Bars. Who here likes Tim Tams then? Or should there be a separate choccy biccie thread?

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

they're the ones like our Penguins aren't they? only more chocolatey I found, so yeah, they rock dude

― chris at home, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

how come none of you mentalists have mentioned the fact that since they took the raisins out of double deckers they have been RUBBIDGE!?!??

― CarsmileSteve, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

raisins? when was this?

― michael, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

What raisins?

― Anna, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

exactly. he's thinking of the WRONG BAR

― michael, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

No, Carsmile is, as usual, OTM. Initially, DDs had raisins (possibly sultanas, admittedly) but they were removed from the recipe at some stage. If I had to guess at the date of this removal, I would say mid to late '80s.

― Tim, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Except of course that DDs are still very fine. just not as fine as when they had the raisins.

― Tim, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

yup, raisins went out of them a long time ago, they did add a little extra, but Tim is OTM.

― chris, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Obviously I am younger than you lot and not nearly 30 or anything but I don't remember raisins in my Double Decker. Presumably you are claiming they were in the crispy bit rather than the nuggetine bit?

― Emma, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

removal of raisins = the only red wedge success story

― mark s, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

they were on the side emma: they came in a little twist of blue paper

― mark s, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Emma, yes, the crispy bit, there weren't loads of them, but just enough to make it nice.

― chris, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

*spurts coffee onto PC screen* - very funny, mark

Re suzy's choc-tester experience: if by "holiday choc ranges" you mean easter, I think I read that piece (which is strange since I've nevah knowingly bought the Hobserver).

I am of course lucky in some respects: Godiva stalls all over this city. Mmmmm.

But no Double Deckers here.

― Jeff W, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I still don't believe the raisins thing. Fuses are nice aren't they? Do they still have them? Weren't they set to overtake the Kitkat as top choc bar at one point?

― Emma, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

And then there was the Maverick.....

― Jonnie, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Raisins in choco bars often dud cos (a) makes biscuit go soft and/or (b) tastes moldy (cf. Club Fruit, Cadbury's Fruit+Nut). Exceptions: Buscuit and Raisin Yorkie and Fuse. I like the taste of Fuse, but it's a bugger to eat. You try and take a small bite and end up with half the bar in yr mouth.

Fuse bar success story.

i have realised that i didn't mean double deckers. i dont think so anyway. could i have meant drifters? i mean, about the disappearing and reappearing thing

― gareth, Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

NOW he tells us.

― N., Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

152 posts all about a mis-identified chocolate bar? sheesh

― chris, Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Gareth - I am so disapointed.

― Anna, Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i dont think so anyway

to quote my Mum, Gareth, "that's it, you don't think, do you????"

;-)

― chris, Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

did anyone ever eat dime bars?

― jel --, Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

yes. not very often admittedly.

has anyone had a Cadbury's Brunch bar? they've started putting them in the vending machines in the Tube, but when i tried to get one they were sold out. i'm hoping that with the Cadbury's name they will be tasty and chocolatey and not just an oatey 'instead of breakfast' kind of bar

― michael, Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

but do they come with a canteloupe?

― mark s, Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
