The filling in Ferroro Roche chocolates is just Nutella

Thanks for that-I worked that out years ago (had forgotten why I won't pay extortion prices for ferrere rocher)

haven't read all the thread but does anyone know if Charmin loo roll company make a cheaper but just as good brand for anyone else.

Really annoys me paying so much for something that is going to be flushed down the loo!

Lidl have it reduced at the moment ....around here anyway.

Try lidl's aloe vera loo rool, £1.49 for four rolls and I'm happy to keep using it! Looks quite posh as well with little green flowers on for snob value!
I use their dishwasher powder as well, beats anything else I've used.

Did anyone see the Horizon program where they compared anti ageing creams? £130 one against a £16 one - guess which one won? The £16.00 from Boots - No7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum which has now sold out and is very hard to find!!

So the fact that they paid for the 'science' behind the program has worked out nicely for them! Seems a lot of people have been fooled

Hiya dont know if correct place to ask this question so let me know if it is not:-

am wondering does anybody know if market stalls and pound shops who sell branded goods like cosmetics and toiletries are actually the real thing - as cant fathom why anyone would pay the boots, superdrug, supermarket etc prices if the same stuff can be bought for fraction of the price.

Any replies gratefully received.

Overproduction, Insurance salvage, etc.

would that be Lindt by any chance?

No, I belive she is referring to Nestle. Lots of info about their third world antics if you google it.

That's because they're made by the same people - just look at the makers of Nutella on the side of the jar...
