Well, generally Throppers like you I prefer to buy high-class, expensive, sophisticated but sometimes - well you just need somethig a little bit cheap and nasty to tickle the jaded palate ......

A sort of gastronomic slumming it, eh?

Every time I've tried this, it's left me feeling cheap and used in the morning.

They did and maybe still do Frozen Bounty , Mars Bars and my favourite, but discontinued as a far as I can tell, Ski, frozen yoghurt in chocolate. Brilliant while it lasted.

Chocolate has been proven to increase serotonins (the happy chemicals).

Yes, I know that!

You obviously have no need of a boost to your happiness levels!

If only that were true! As it isn't however, I derive my serotonin from other sources instead.

And, big plus point for a Scot, you save yourself money!

No, I don't; the money that I might otherwise spend on chocolate gets spent on something else rather than wisely invested in a Cypriot bank!...

I was going to concoct a sort of Fin de siècle joke about the difference between a Poule de Luxe and ........
But I didn't!! On the grounds of chocolate political correctness.

chocolate political correctness.

I'd thought (or had at least hoped) that this is a contradiction in terms!...

Hey, nobody seems to have mentioned Revels...they were called something like "a box of chocolates in a bag"...they looked a bit like Maltesers, but had different fillings, like coconut, orange cream etc. Terribly sickly!

I used to love Topic - soft nougat and hazelnuts in a chocolate bar.

In the 70s my Dad used to eat a tablet of chocolate called Old Jamaica - it was dark chocolate with rum and raisin. He never had to worry about it disappearing, I hated the taste of rum and still do!

Great shout.

Revel bags were white, where'd you get that fake Revels bag photo?

[teamsaint]

You can still get revels, can't you. bit of a lottery though, chance of a nasty coconut one(though they are usually a bit smaller)....or perhaps not.
