UK currently has 'prize' creme eggs, buy one and find NO GOO filling, and you could win up to £1000. There are also going to be 'pop-up' creme egg cafes, tea and coffee will be free, and there are, supposedly, delicious Cadbury creations for you to buy

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

PB&J is the shit. I had had peanut butter in the UK, but usually only rarely because my mum didn't like it so never kept it in the house, but I eat it all the time here. It's actually a pretty efficient way of getting protein with relatively low carbs/calories provided you don't go overboard (obviously the bread and the jelly negate that, so I put it on celery instead, which is actually surprisingly good).

I wonder what your return on that prize would be. Knowing my luck I'd have to buy £1,001.00 worth of eggs just to win the cash :D

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Two words.

Almond butter.

Much better than peanut.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

I do like almonds, right enough.

Less than half the protein of peanut butter though, how am I supposed to get swole eating that, eh?

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

When I was a kid, I got a creme egg that was empty. I didn't win/get £1000, but I did get angry :(

I'll second this bit :goodpost:
You lost me here :sick:

Don't get me wrong, I like Marmite on toast (never had vegemite but I believe its the same), but with cucumber and peanut butter????

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

That's understandable.

They should do a solid chocolate one instead of an empty one. Along the same lines, the holy grail for me growing up was always getting a Kit Kat with no wafer in it.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

I think Dove do/did an egg that was solid? could be wrong, but they did release something in the UK a while back.

Kit Kat chunky's were the best!

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

It'd be Galaxy in the UK though, wouldn't it?

You can get them out here. I think they call them Kit Kat Crispy, but it is essentially the same. Not easy to find though, but they get them in the vending machine at work quite a bit and I've seen them in garages.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

KitKat BigKat would be the closest to a chunky. :thumbup:

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

That'll get you there, too. I was slightly wrong on the name (just checked the vending machine, shame I have no cash on me ...), they ones I am thinking of are Kit Kat Extra Crispy. Up in Canada they have a white chocolate version, too.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Remember when Crème eggs were a proper size... and one end was so thick in chocolate it was hard to bite through.

/those were the days.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

They had them in the UK too. Good times :lol:

Re: Dove/Galaxy - quite possibly, everything seems to blend into one now thee days!

Moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips - they are saving you from yourself Mr. N :p

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

People who bang on and on about British milk chocolate, which, when all is said and done, really isn't that good anyway. :unsure:

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

No, No, No, not the same, Vegemite is :sick: Marmite is :thumbsup:. Have tried both, well had one Vegemite sarnie and threw the rest of the jar away.
