Funny that you mention chocolate buttons. I made a bet with my mate about the World Cup, and lost (he's from Argentina, they got further than England..... ). I joked that I would pay him his $10 winnings in chocolate buttons.

So I was going to get him a packet of chocolate buttons to give him with the $10 just to make him smile, but I couldn't buy them anywhere! Do they not sell them here? Can't say I'd ever looked for them before now....

They're a pig when it comes to fastening your shirt. Give me plastic buttons every time.

Specially in Australia - just when you think its safe to go out, your buttons melt all over your shirt

Guess what I've just bought in Safeway?????? Giant Chocolate Buttons!

The only downside is that they are Aussie ones and they don't taste quite as good as the UK ones but I'll eat the rest of the packet to make sure

Have you tried freezing them?? Still edible straight from the freezer and bloody lovely.

The problem with storing bars of chocolate in the fridge is that the stuff becomes harder than concrete. You literally need to get Geoff Capes to come over and break it apart for you. (whilst he's there you might as well get him to tear up a few of your old Yellow Pages too)
