I bought some of them Milo Nuggets as I was intrigued too. They looked like chunks of Aero... god how wrong I was.

They are digusting!! Reminds me of dog biscuits, not that I have ever tried dog biscuits!

Well my OH is always in the doghouse so that's probably why he liked them.

Just looked at my receipts and it was Home Bargains in Northampton I bought them from, not 99p shop. I overspent in both shops!! lol

Also they had stacks of Kiddicare branded clip on pram parasols in Leek. I struggled to find a shelf age label...and couldn't find a sales assistant!!! Pretty sure they'll be much more competitive than on Kiddicare...sorry about lack of info...I tried!!

I saw these today at sutton, they were £3.99 lots of colours to chose from.

Oh my word Nestle Milo chocolate. It's delicous. I can eat Milo out of the can. I wish we had a HB... I'm not sure what the nuggets exactly are bit in South Africa you can by Milo slabs of chocolate and they are out of this world.

Now I am really jealous cause I want some : (

The Night Garden floor mat set was 79p IIRC, also got a small Peppa Pig Velvet Art set for same price.

Nestle Milo nuggets: they are true nuggets, in the sense of food industry
( = make something appealing out of refuse material),
only confectionery that is fatter than the boiled-sugar type, but not chocolate:
they are a flavourED product, ie a chocolate surrogate.
If you peel the UK label back (product is built for a non-european market where true choc is a luxury), you see that the nuggets contain palm kernel oil (the vaguely named "vegetable fat") and palm oil as substitutes for the cocoa butter
(= THE expensive and difficult-to-work-with ingredient OF chocolate that the industries like Nestle, Cadburys etc try to cut down/replace.)
Nestle tries to make the product look better by adding "the goodies!" vitamins etc,
I'd say lipstick on a pig.

PS. anybody spotting DROSTE 75% PASTILLES back in HBs around them?
