That's strange - I find the chocolate/candy here seems sweeter than that from the UK lol

Do they taste any better? (The knock-offs)

Me too - wish they'd bring them over...

Are our OH's related? Mine is the same, and he shouldn't be eating that stuff anyway....

Good question - I'm not sure about that, but if you look on the packaging it will say where it's made or that it's imported.

OH has just texted me to tell me he has been given a $25 voucher for the beer store and a $25 voucher for Sobeys. He informs me he will buy a bottle of Baileys and $25 worth of M&M's with these.....

I thought Superstore had them. Frozen, of course.....is that a no-no?

AmyDavid

Not wanting to sound....well, moany or something...but I just don't do frozen meat. Has to be fresh for me. No idea why.

I won't touch meat in a can either...or eat meat that I have cooked myself, in a sandwich the next day.

Perhaps my Mother forced these things upon me when I was younger or something?!!

You're not moany, merely mad.

You've reminded me of a bloke I used to work with. He would not drink anything he couldn't see through.

If Sobey's sell the Bailey's liquers he could get even more alcohol for his money

I understand that point because I remember buying frozen steaks that one could cook from frozen in those contact grills and they weren't as nice as 'fresh' ones.

But aren't 'fresh' products often ones that have previously been frozen anyway?

Or are you looking for a goose so fresh you can pluck it?

Or even strangle it or whatever they do.

That must limit your choice somewhat at the office coffee vending machine....

We didn't have one of those. I'm not sure if his obsession was pre-existing or began when he came to the company and soon realised that we all loathed him.

Obviously not a Guinness or scrumpy drinker then?

that reminds me of the time I bought a turkey from one of the researchers at the Uni.... it was still running around when they gave it to me!

As for what they do to it - wring (or rather pull) it's neck......

BristolUK

Just the one neck was it? After the "research" was done?

AmyDavid

Oooh good - I like the idea of being seen as being a little mad! I will also not eat boiled eggs unless I boiled them

From today's Daily Mail:-

Cadbury's has gone from Heroes to zeroes after it was accused of cheating customers by replacing favourite sweet ranges with less popular dark chocolates.

Without warning, the nation's favourite chocolatier has axed four ranges - Time Outs, Picnics, Dreams and Crunchies - from tins of Heroes and replaced them with just two - Bournvilles and toffee Eclairs.

It is estimated that at least one in every two households will open a tin of the best-selling sweets over Christmas only to be left disappointed with a heap of surplus dark chocolates.

I guess we're all on anti-depressants from now until whenever.

AmyDavid

Dark choc is supposed to be better for you. Knowing that makes me like it even less!
