Oh no, yet another manufacturer has become the bane of my life.

Options
Cadbury have introduced 'Marvellous Creations' chocolate bars to their line up.

Why? Isn't there enough chocolate in this world already?

Don't they know this is akin to peddaling drugs to a drug addict?!

Yes indeedy, something else that's bad for me that I'm hooked on. :o (I have never ever taken drugs in my life btw so don't take that comment the wrong way. :rotfl:)

I'm particularly fond of the 'jelly popping candy shells' version, it's like something that would have come from Willie Wonka. :D

Surprisingly (but reassuringly) daughter doesn't care for it. Such a shame, that means I need to eat it all by myself.

I think I'm going to opt for the 'eat so much of it that you make yourself sick' route. I think that might put me off it quicker than 'all things in moderation' route.

*sigh* I wish I wasn't ruled by my mouth and my stomach.

Which manufacturer/product is the bane of your life?

  • Iceland's bags of £1 mixed chocolates. Ever since I discovered that more often than not they're Cadburys or a similar standard and the only problem with them is they're solid chocolate instead of having the right filling. Such a hardship... :D
    If you lend someone £20 and never see them again, it was probably £20 well spent...

    What are these chocolates you speak of????? I've never seen them in Iceland, perhaps I need to look harder?

    Ali, I've been dodging those bars for the last few weeks, I keep averting my eyes when they flirt with my. I am a strong woman, I can resist, maybe.

    Oh darn, can't remember the brand name that's on the bag. I'll have to go to Iceland and check :D They're in dark brown bags, usually hanging up with the other bagged sweets near the tills...

    Nope. Give it time. You WILL cave.

    Be warned.

    As a Cadbury's addict I can't believe I'm writing this but, I don't like these new bars :eek: Although I am now planning a trip to Iceland to look for these bags of chocolates :D

    I had a very small ... minor....argument with OH as I brought a pack of 6 caramel freddos on offer at morrisons for a £1 and he didn't buy any choclate because 'he was on a diet'...the same day he had eaten two of them without telling me (hiding it basicly :D)

    They were kind of all eaten by end day... o_O

    My housemate bought me a bar of the cookie nut crunch yesterday and, until I read this post, I'd entirely forgotten I had it . Suffice it to say, I'm not tucking in!
